Birthday Wishes~Just Add Ink Challenge #31

I have been somewhat slacking in doing challenges....they are wonderful to challenge your mind with.  This week at "Just Add Ink", the challenge was "color" using  Stampin' Up! colors Real Red~Kraft~Chocolate Chip....a very pleasing combination!  I stamped the flower using a heart image from a SU hostess set called Punch Potpourri......a fun set as it works with 4 of the SU punches!  I stamped and punched 6 hearts, curled up the edges a bit, added a button, and I had an instant vintage look flower.....I really like how it turned out...a clean and simple card!

Recipe:  Stamps:  Punch Potpourri,  Ink:  Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip,  Cardstock:  Kraft (crumb cake), Real Red, Very Vanilla, Accessories:  Real Red grosgran ribbon, button, Vintage Wallpaper EB folder, Full Heart xl punch, Modern Label xl punch

Hello Again~Clean and Simple

I just love this little Stampin' Up! set called  "hello again".....its a tiny set that is packed with personality!!  I made this card for the SCS CAS63 challenge....I love the colors and the ribbon I used, it reminds me of my kitchen!!! 

I have been trying to finish the insides of my cards, too...everything is pretty much from SU..I have  a new SU order coming today...where oh where is that UPS man??? 

If you are interested in puchasing the "hello again: set...let me know it's only $12.95 plus shipping and tax...and who knows if it will be in  the new July 1 catalog?.......I have another card I will be showing tomorrow also using this set!

Clean and Simple Card

Okay, I changed my post...decided I didn't want my blog to be my sounding off place, I can do that alone...LOL.....so after taking a deep breath to start this morning, I have this lovely card to share with you.

There are days I just love to make simple cards.....one or two colors and not much else...love the simplicity of it....other days I love loading the cards with everything I can...guess its just the time factor and the mood I am in....SCS has had some beautiful CAS cards on lately, a great place to go and grab some "inspiration"!
