Hi Everyone
Just a reminder, there is still time to play along at Time Out Challenges. This week we are trying to raise Breast Cancer Awareness in partnership with CAS-ual Fridays stamps who are kindly sponsoring the challenge this week. Breast Cancer Awareness month is here, and this is a reminder to check yourself ladies! 5 mins, once a month. Don’t know how? See here. It could save your life.
This week’s theme is friendship, and there’s a $25 prize for the winner, as well as a randomly drawn prize for anyone who uses pink on their card. We are joined this week by Guest Designer Yulia who has created some wonderful inspiration for you all to get you motivated.
For my card, I used the stamp set by CAS-ual Fridays called ‘Calm & Gentle‘. While this is a great set to create a tree image, I wanted to show you how to stretch those stamps and use them a little differently. For my card I used a scrap of pink watercolored look paper from my stash. I then took the leaf cluster image from the stamp set and stamped it all over the upper portion of the paper in Versamark ink. After each stamping, I added Ranger Superfine Gold embossing powder and heat embossed. I added more of a concentration of the stamps towards the top, overlapping some of the images to create a ‘confetti’ type look.
I wanted to keep the card simple, so I stamped a simple sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink and a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon from the same set in Simon Says Stamp Doll Pink. I adhered the entire piece onto a Neenah Solar White card base. There is an additional sentiment inside the card stamped in simple black.
That’s it – super simple, and I think you’ll agree, this stamp set can be super versatile – I love the confetti look !
Have fun, we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

wow this is so creative Jenny. I thought this was a confetti stamp Imhave seen some where. I am going to have to Pin this, it looks amazing. It could be used for so many celebration cards and Xmas cards also. Perfect idea to keep the sentiment simple. Super card x
This is beautiful. Great way to stretch your stamps, and I love the pink with gold.
Great use of that leaf cluster, I love the gold heat embossing on pink, it looks so elegant and stylish! Wonderful card design.
Absolutely FANTASTIC way to use this stamp. I love the cascading gols on that luscious pink background. Love the little pink ribbon and the sentiment is perfect. I am pinning this one too!!!! Love it.
Gosh, this is beautiful, Jenny … genius use of the leaf stamp to create that gorgeous gold confetti … the simple, small sentiment and ribbon is perfect with it! Hugs, Anita 🙂
So beautiful – and then to read how you stretched that stamp set. Great design!
