Hey everybody! And welcome to another Stamping
with the Stars Inspiration Hop! First, I want to tell you that I had NOT
planned on doing this month's sketch for several reasons. First, we are
in the process of having new floors put in our living room, dining room and
foyer next week and a LOT of stuff got crammed into, of course, my Stampin’ Up!
room!!! Here is a picture of the room. (No judgement please! I did
NOT clear my crafts before dumping stuff in there!)
As you can see there is nowhere to move! Plus, we decided to paint before the floors got put in, and then I get a stomach bug which knocked me out for two days. AND, I leave tomorrow for OnStage with Stampin' Up! in Jacksonville (more about THAT later) Bottom line, I knew I would be pressed for time to get a blog finished much less find (rather ..get to) what I would need to MAKE a card.
Nevertheless, this
morning as I was finding a cat YouTube video for my cat to watch (yep!) I see
that Connie Stewart was going to have a video later today with a card that was
very similar to this sketch, and I though, heck, I should be able to create a simple card even if it’s not created in the Stampin’ Up! room. Soooo, to
end this LONG story, here is the sketch and my interpretation of the
sketch.
This is a simple design with the poinsettia paper from the gorgeous Boughs of Holly designer series paper as the highlight of this card. The Shaded Spruce mat and Cherry Cobber panel cardstock set against the Basic White Thick card base really makes all the colors of the poinsettias’ pop!
