At the request of a few customers and friends, I am posting this cute card that I made for a friend's daughter's 1st birthday this summer.
No, I did not come up with this clever idea! These little Sesame Street punch characters are all over the net and so I decided to take a go at it. This was really easy since I owned all the punches needed. I own ALOT of punches!!!
I started with a Real Red cardstock for the base and added a square of Basic Black to make the characters pop. The colors used are Real Red, Old Olive, Brilliant Blue and Crushed Curry.
The "Happy Birthday" greeting is from one of my favorite sets Happy Everything. All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!

Here is a card I made with my Stamp Clubs this month. I used the "herringbone" technique. You can find some tutorials on the internet for this technique. It's actually quite simple and great to use up all those little bits and pieces of designer paper or cardstock. All you need is some scrap paper and some double sided tape (such as carpet tape). Clear tape is best.
I just love the colors used. I chose them based on the Autumn Traditions Designer Paper; Always Artichoke, More Mustard, Soft Suede and Elegant Eggplant.
The pumpkins were made using the wide oval punch and 1 inch circle punch. I added a little piece of folded ribbon to make the stem, did some sponging on the edges and voila! Too cute!
