Glad to see you stop by, for another Stamp Off Challenge

with Susan, Buffy and me. Today, we are doing an

inspiration challenge, based on the following image.

This image offers lots of options, from using the colors,

circles, rectangles, flowers, plants, you name it.

For my inspiration card, I integrated a number of components,

including colors (I know they don't match exactly), the wall element, balcony and railings. If you're going to have a balcony with

railings, then a dancing goat is required.

The railing and Happy Birthday sentiment come from the

Birthday Chick dies on page 162. I modified the fencing a bit to

make it look more like railings. The rectangle shapes from

the Hippo and Friends Dies (page 163). Of course the festive

goat is from the Way to Goat set on page 64, that I colored with

Stampin' Blends and then fussy cut.

The In Good Taste DSP works great as a wall backdrop.

I'm so glad that you popped by and know that you will

enjoy the wonderful cards offered by Buffy and Susan!

So.... the new Holiday Mini and SAB brochures are out.

YES, I said SAB, because we now get to Sale-A-Brate two

times per year. The SAB brochure goes from August 3 -

September 30th. Such great deals!

This is the Clever Cats set on page 53 of the July-December

2021 catalog. This is such a CUTE set. I have several family

members who have cats, so a cat in a box, or grumpy cat image

are destined to be hits. The black and white layer comes from

the Pattern Party Hostess DSP on page 171. Given that the

"back" of each sheet is black and white, this pack is perfect

for Halloween cards.

This is a very quick card, thanks to the Biggest Wish set

(page 63). The large sentiments are all that you need for your

card, in terms of stamping. The sentiment and background

layer were die cut with Tailor Made Tags on page 166. I used

DSP from the Hostess Pattern Party pack on page 171.

I added a bit of linen thread to enhance the festive

nature of the card.
