Warm Hello & Knit Happens

Hi all,

Another rainy day here in SoCal. I hear that the Tahoe area has already received 42 inches or more of snow this weekend, so a little rain is no worry.

I spent some time yesterday evening and this morning playing with the Freshly Made Sketch for this week and made two cards.

This first one uses all Stampin' Up supplies. I bought this suite when it first came out, but I haven't really done much with it. While looking through my DSP stash, I landed on this paper, and so that's where this card's inspiration started. Instead of using just the coordinating stamp set for everything, I pulled out the Circle Sayings set for the focal circle images.

For the inside of this card, I added a border die and left the center blank to write a note.

Card two uses Concord & 9th supplies for the focal images and greeting. Again, I think this is the first time I've used this stamp and die set. It's pretty cute. For the background, I used a Gina K Designs background stamp that matches the knitting theme perfectly. To make the knitting needles more "real" I added Glossy Accents over them and glued some silver balls to the tops.

The greeting on the inside is also from the same stamp/die set.

Enjoy your Sunday,

Colleen
