Pals Paper Arts challenge number 8 is up!
This
weeks challenge is a K.I.S.S. challenge (Keep it Simple, Sweetie). We hope you'll participate in the PPA8 challenge. On my blog, I call these types of cards Kwik & Kool. Click the link to see more of my Kwik & Kool creations.
- Create using the K.I.S.S guidelines above
- Upload your card to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, September 22 (Noon CST)
- If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA8 in the keyword section
- Most importantly ... play, play, play!
My simple Dasher card fits the K.I.S.S. bill perfectly, don't you think? I'm loving this little guy... for only $8.95 - this stamp image gives you a good bang for your buck!
Item #116816, set of 1, $8.95
I disassembled a small circle red rhinestone brad to turn him into Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
The interior of my small note card envelope is lined with paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog called Christmas Cocoa Specialty. Photos of this paper do not do it justice.
The designer series paper contains sheets that are flocked as well as some that have a metallic design. It coordinates with Real Red and Soft Suede. TIP: Print this DSP coordinating color chart. It's a handy reference tool to keep in your stamping space.
It's not too early to start planning ahead for the holidays! So be sure you check out the Holiday Mini Catalog and the great holiday selections found in the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.
If that's not enough to get you in the holiday spirit - take a peek at the holiday selections in the Definitely Decorative Catalog and decorate your home for the holidays! Love the Dasher stamp image? You can get him in a Decor Element format too - in Black, Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and Whisper White.
