I was able to cut, stamp, punch and glue all of my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">card stock</span> for the front and the inside of the card within the 10 minute time.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1lJqhknkmI/AAAAAAAABAI/p9q11yWDXpk/s1600-h/thinkofu.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 256px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429451820687135330" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1lJqhknkmI/AAAAAAAABAI/p9q11yWDXpk/s320/thinkofu.jpg" /></a> The inside of my card took another ten minute to complete my cute little paper <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">pieced</span> bear. I'm really happy with the look of this card.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1lJq9wGEmI/AAAAAAAABAQ/L5AxG1T8wbo/s1600-h/thinkofu2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 217px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429451828251464290" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1lJq9wGEmI/AAAAAAAABAQ/L5AxG1T8wbo/s320/thinkofu2.jpg" /></a> Thanks for looking!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6377151968022899601-6774347531557227359?l=stampedwithasmile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cheryl Kosakurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09751962509907527578noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377151968022899601.post-56517548361120976632010-01-18T10:20:00.000-08:002010-01-19T11:03:07.930-08:00<p></p>This is the first time for me to join in a <a href="http://kewlstamps-n-morechallenges.blogspot.com/">EASY BREEZY <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">KEWL</span> COLOUR CHALLENGE.</a><br /><p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1So5C1Z3TI/AAAAAAAAA_o/vsXzli3Ffas/s1600-h/EBKKCC+2+2010-14.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428149148855164210" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1So5C1Z3TI/AAAAAAAAA_o/vsXzli3Ffas/s320/EBKKCC+2+2010-14.jpg" /></a> I am such a paper scrap saver that I thought it would be a great idea to sew some of my scraps to the top of my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">card stock</span>. I really like the look so much that I plan to sew a few scrapbook pages too. My <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">DS</span> paper can be found on page 13 in the new <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Occasions</span> Mini called, "Sending Love Specialty". To make this card, cut your paper into 1" strips, tear the bottom and sides of the paper into the size that you want and pieced and sewed them to the top of the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">card stock</span>. The little heart was punched from the Heart to Heart punch found on page 186. The cute little love can be found in the new <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Occasions</span> Mini on page 28...It is called,"Tiny Tags". The flowers were hand cut from the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">DS</span> paper and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">attached</span> to the ribbon with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">dimensionals</span>. For the inside of the card you wiil need 2 wide ovals punched and one scallop oval.</p><p>Here is my card front,<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1X9TBgX-DI/AAAAAAAAA_w/neEVwgwkivI/s1600-h/love1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428523429128566834" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1X9TBgX-DI/AAAAAAAAA_w/neEVwgwkivI/s320/love1.jpg" /></a> <p>and this is what I did to the inside.</p><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1X_cleZTmI/AAAAAAAAA_4/H3RNnJynozo/s1600-h/love2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 238px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428525792426020450" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1X_cleZTmI/AAAAAAAAA_4/H3RNnJynozo/s320/love2.jpg" /></a> The I love you much stamp can be found in the new Occasions Mini on page 19...It is called,"Well Scripted".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6377151968022899601-5651754836112097663?l=stampedwithasmile.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Cheryl Kosakurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09751962509907527578noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377151968022899601.post-16499652841264305562010-01-17T11:27:00.000-08:002010-01-17T13:48:56.748-08:00<div>Here is this weeks color challenge on <a href="http://spcolorcombos.blogspot.com/">SPCC.</a><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1Nkn_gtebI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/RX3hHYwSK8Y/s1600-h/colorcombo30.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 202px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427792614137887154" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_YJmZloLQGxw/S1Nkn_gtebI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/RX3hHYwSK8Y/s320/colorcombo30.jpg" /></a>When I saw this week color challenge, I went to work to figure out how to create a spring card using fall colors.
