Kween Bee Kreations: Wish Big (Blog Candy)

June 09, 2009

Wish Big (Blog Candy)

Here's a Kwik & Kool card I made over the weekend. In yesterday's post, I mentioned my paper hoarding problem. Well, this card was created with the same thought in mind - use, don't hoard!

One can never have too many birthday cards on hand. So, I decided to make this simple card by using the Hand Drawn designer series paper (DSP). The notepad look of this DSP is just too fun!

How did I make this Kwik & Kool card?

I simply layered a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" DSP on top of a Riding Hood Red cardstock
Bent the bottom right corner of the DSP to show off the pretty side hiding underneath
Pierced holes in the bottom right corner for added interest
Threaded a button with a sliver of cardstock
Stamped the "wish big" sentiment using my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig

Running with the Wish Big idea ... I'm offering up some fun Basic Grey BLOG CANDY!

My question to you is: What is YOUR wish for the Stampin' Up! 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog?

Leave a comment on this post and you could win a selection of 6" x 6" papers from the Two Scoops Basic Grey collection.

A winner will be chosen randomly on Sunday, June 14 (5 PM CST)

Stay tuned - there is more blog candy on the way throughout this week.

My wish is for them to add more accessories to the catalog such as rhinestones.

I love the way you folded the corner to show the second side of the DSP! I will be using that idea. My wish for the Idea Book would be some Whisper White that is a bit heavier. Otherwise, I'm ready to be surprised TODAY when my order arrives!! I'm sure my wishlist will be HUGE.

Cute card! I would love to see the scor pal in the next catatlog.

kLove your card, Kris; the kite is just the right amount of whimsy! I wish that they'd sell the stick pins [like the ones in the Pretties Kit] separately in the new catalog.

Adorable card! I love your clean lines! You always do a great job! My wishes are many: Rhinestones, score pal, and more border punches!

Posted by: Ann Schach | June 09, 2009 at 12:44 PM

My wish would be for more punches. I love punches and they make my life so much easier and my cards cleaner.

Posted by: Cristy | June 09, 2009 at 12:48 PM

I love the simplicity and what a great idea to just turn up to corner to get both looks at one time. I hope that the new catalog has the scor-pal and of course great accessories!
