One Stamp at a Time September Blog Hop - Step it Up

 Good Morning, Stampers!

The team is back this month with a fun Step-it-Up

theme for you! This is so fun - there is an idea for any level, any

budget and any time frame. In a time crunch? Need a last-minute

card idea? Want a special card to celebrate a special day?

Ready for a little challenge? We've gotcha covered! 

There really is something for everyone!

Oh, these dahlias are so gorgeous! One of my favorite 

flower sets of all time - it was my first pick from

the Summer Sale-A-Bration brochure!

It is so easy to work with. Look at that detail.

Such an easy card that still has that"wow".

Great for beginners or if you need a quick, last-minute card.

Somethng as simple as adding a little dimension to a sentiment or adding a little "bling" 

can really step up a card. I kept the same basic card base for this card 

and just added a few little extra elements

 This is great for someone who is up for learning

a simple technique (water brush speckling) , trying out a few layers or textures

 (embossing folders) or just want a special card for a loved one. 

This is what some would call an 'over the top" card.

The card base and layers are the same, I added extra designer

paper, stitched dies, ribbon and sequins. This is great for

someone looking for a little challenge, a seasoned stamper looking to 

"up their game" or for a special occasion/event that calls for something 

really special and memorable.
