I realize that I'm a paper hoarder and feel guilty for using it ALL the time, but then I feel guilty if I don't save it! I'm also realistic enough to know that all the DSP I have in my larder that contains the 2009 In Colors is soon to be retired and I need to use it up. So, here's a quickie card that used some of the Good Morning Sunshine DSP and the Cheep Talk stamp set.
I should probably also tell you that I have hoards of chipboard too! So, I decided I had to do something with some chipboard and here was the result. Clean and simple, but certainly not a favorite!
I started with a base of Kiwi Kiss and punched squares with the 1 1/4" square punch. I adhered them to the base. Next, I used my Summer Sun craft ink spot to ink the Sunflower flower outside and embossed it with Glassy Glaze embossing powder. I did the same with the sunflower circle, using Chocolate Chip craft ink. Once they were both cool, I mounted them on the card with mounting tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Cheep Talk set in the Summer Sun squares and called this one done.
If you have ever thought you would like to have all of the Stampin' Up! inks and don't want to spend the dollars for all those ink pads, consider the spots. I have all of the craft spots, as well as the re-inkers and use them a great deal. It's a very easy way to purchase a complete set of "inks" and spots, regular or craft, work just like the regular ink pads.
I was able to get some stamping in yesterday and I actually have some mojo back. I didn't have time to photograph the cards, but you'll see them in the upcoming days. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
