Playing with Papers

I'm just enjoying making cards with some new papers I ordered from the '09-10 Idea Book and Catalog. These papers are from The Write Stuff Specialty papers. They're a little different in that you get 2 sheets each of 3 double-sided designs then 3 die-cut sheets of coordinating designs.

I think this card could be used for just about any occasion-just stamp what you need on the inside and you're good to go.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Circle Circus

Papers: Kraft, Soft Suede, Crushed curry, Ruby red, The Write Stuff Specialty papers

Inks: Crushed Curry, Ruby Red

Accessories: 1 in. circle punch, soft suede polka dot grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

New stamps and papers

My order from the new 2009-2010 Idea book and catalog arrived today. But I didn't get to play til late tonight.

I used this sketch challenge from Splitcoast.

I really like all the different designs in the Cottage Wall Designer Series papers. It's a bit outta my color zone but that helps me be more creative. I already have lots of ideas for gifts for Mom-purple is her favorite color!

Stamps: For All You Do

Papers: Cottage Wall designer series papers, whisper white, orchid opulence, rich razzleberry

Inks: orchid opulence, rich razzleberry, old olive

Accessories: word window punch, modern label punch, 1/4 in whisper white grosgrain ribbon
