CSF - Pretty in Pink

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to the final week of Movies with Colors in their Names

at Create with Stampin' Friends! 

We are featuring Pretty in Pink - one of my favorite colors! 

I chose the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle and added a little texture and pattern

using the Pretty in Pink designer papers,

This is a great way to use up those odd-size designer paper "left-overs"!

Welcome to the rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge!

This week's focus is on the Basic Card Templates

from page 22 of the Annual Catalog. These make

designing cards SO EASY! 

This card is a great example of utilizing the stamp set

long after your kits have been created. I combined the stamp

set along with the Wildy Flowering designer papers 

and the sketch from the Basic Card Template and it's 

a completely new card!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Expressions of Kindless 

Ink: Early Espresso

Paper: Basic White, Early Espresso, Wildy Flowering DSP

Accessories: White ribbon, Gold Glitter Dots, Unbounded Love dies

I hope you find some time to create around this week's Basic Card Template!

Celebrating My Team!

 Good Morning, Stampers!

I created these cards called the Pop-Up- gift cardholder using a video I found on Youtube. They hold the little branded key chains I made for my quarterly gifts for my team. These little gift bags can hold small trinkets, gift cards, cash or small candy bars. The bellyband helps keep them closed but you could easily add ribbon as well. Such a fun pop-up surprise!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Unbounded Love

Ink: Melon Mambo

Paper: Basic White, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Pretty in Pink DSP

Accessories: Flowers of Beauty dies, Pretty in Pink ribbon, Distressed Tile embossing folder

Misc. Sublimation round key chains (Hobby Lobby), Vinyl, Tissue paper
