Only five days to go and Sale-A-Bration kicks in .... which means FREE stamps!
Now I need to be honest with you, since my holiday I have been finding it very hard to sit down and stamp - wasn't sure if it was that I have so much to create for upcoming commitments or that I had lost my mojo ... but every night last week I just wasn't motivated at all - I was a little worried!
So on Friday night I made myself sit down and concentrate - I picked a colour scheme and one stamp set and five cards later I'm happy again :o) I'd like to call it the 'Stampin' Up! Effect' - you can't fail to make a great card with so many colour coordinated products ... so once I had started there was no stopping me. I'm one happy bunny again.
Inspired by Sue Madex's card here .... I used the circle punch to create the circles that I then attached as the background to the card. I am so pleased that the Scallop Oval punch is still available from the Spring Mini - it fits perfectly with the silver Hodge Podge Hardware - which is still available in the Inventory Sale - priced at just $43.46.
After stamping the little parcels I have added some colour with a Rose Red marker and then added some Crystal Effects for a bit of shine.

Absolutely LOVE this card Nikki. Think it might be the colours, but I love the dimension as well.

Sweet! Did you make 5 the same?? If not, where are the other cards?! (Nice new 'supply list' too, by the way.)
