Happy Tuesday! Today’s card is another one that uses pieces from an ephemera pack along with a large sentiment. You can see it on page 34 of the catalog. I love the ease of punching out images and attaching them to a card. The black and white pieces add a great background for the greeting and the small flowers add just enough pop of color. The only stamping on this card is the sentiment which comes from the Layered Thoughts stamp set.

Let’s jump in…

Today’s card was a really hard one for me. I was tempted to add more to it. It has no ribbon, no twine and no bling. How is that even possible?! I consider myself a pretty simple stamper but this one was even simpler than what I usually make. Funny thing is that once I got past the urge to stick something else on it, I love how it turned out.

You can find this card on page 35 of the annual catalog. I did have to use a different greeting because I ordered the wrong ephemera pack but I still like how it turned out.

If it weren’t for doing this challenge, I would not have ordered this Congrats stamp but I can’t tell you how glad I am that I did. It’s that stamp that I always need and NEVER have. It stamps great and is big enough to be a focal image. It’s perfect for graduation, new baby, engagement, promotion at work and the list goes on! It’s stamped in Crushed Curry on Daffodil Delight here and I love how it pops just enough.

Have you played with any of the ephemera packs? I love these cute little books and the heart that I added on top of them. I’ve always been a sticker girl so these just make my heart happy. They are sticky on the back so you can add them that way or you can rub them on your pant leg to get rid of the sticky and pop them up on dimensionals.

We’re only on day 2 and I’m already using things that I wouldn’t have used on my own. Makes me realize that my go-to stash is quite limited.
