Got Green?

Aloha, all!

     Yes, here I am today with another "green"challenge!  This time the challenge is for the Stampin' Up! Only Challenge blog!  Before I chat about my card, please know that entry into this challenge is for EVERYONE who makes cards using Stampin' Up! products only.  And they don't have to be current Stampin' Up! products.  Lots of my own customers have dozens and dozens of Stampin' Up! stamp sets and embellishments and inks and papers and….   Well, you get the picture.  And you may well be one of those people with a stash that goes back years!  So make up a card or scrap page or other project, and enter it in the challenge.  The one thing you do have to have is a place to post it on the web.  If you don't have a blog or other website, Split Coast Stampers is a great place to post a picture of your project.  You don't even have to pay a subscription fee if you choose not to.  Any questions about this, just send me an e-mail.

     You might remember from the last card I posted that I said I would show off both of the Pear Pizzazz prints from the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.  For Sunday's card, I used the paper with the floral-type print, and today I'm using that again along with the plaid-type print from the Designer Series Paper set. 

     As you might have been able to figure out by now, everything (but one!) on this card is either Whisper White or Pear Pizzazz!  The one product that is not is the Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine that's holding the greeting tag.  But there's so much white in the Baker's Twine that it's really hard to tell that it's not Pear Pizzazz.

     The stamp set that I used for this card is Got Treats.  I keep forgetting I have that stamp set and I hope Stampin' Up! doesn't retire it this year because I totally forgot to use it for the winter holidays this year!  But I'll give this particular stamp some use in the next two weeks!

     And this time – for the first time in months! – I have a sketch for you!  I've been CASEing cards so much lately, that it's a treat for me to have my own design to sketch out!  But before I post that, you have to know that, once again, I tied my card together with a ribbon from Stampin' Up!'s fabulous ribbon collection – and of course it's Pear Pizzazz Stitched–Poly Ribbon!  I think I'll be using this color a lot in the next two weeks, too!

     Here's the sketch – it's a fun and simple one, and I'm sure you'll enjoy using it!
