My First 411 Challenge

Okay, I'm excited. This is the first time I've done the 411 challenge over at Stamping 411 Check it out, they have some interesting stuff going on over there. Great directions for projects with detailed measurements too. And I am so happy with how this card turned out. Pictures never do any sort of craft justice but that's what we have here to share. There are a lot of firsts for me in this card.I had never used Robin Hood Red before and I just got this beautiful Ornate Blossom stamp so I wanted to put it to use. Wow, I just have to say WOW to both the stamp and the color. I will be using both a lot from now on. What a bold statement this flower makes.

Here are the supplies I used:
Stamps: Ornate Blossom, Thank you Kindly
Ink: Robin Hood Red
Paper: Robin Hood Red, Washington Apple dsp (retired)
Tools: Corner Rounder,  Eyelet Border Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pak, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder,
Accessories: Linen Thread, Bitty Buttons
I would love to hear from you. Do you like the card? Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.

First 3"x3" Card

This little card packs a whale of a punch in color and richness. I love the combination of Wild Wasabi and Cajun Craze. This card fits neatly into the pizza box I posted the other day. One of three I will be sharing with you. If someone has been especially nice to you or helpful this year why not give them this box of cards as a Thank You from you and they can use them to thank others.

Card base in Cajun Craze measures 3" x 6" folded in half. Then the very vanilla panel is 2 3/4" square and stamped with Day of Gratitude medallion in Wild Wasabi and the tri flower in Cajun Craze right over the top. the panel of very vanilla stamped with Thank You from Thank You Kindly set in Cajun Craze is 3/4" x 3". and the corduroy button can be purchased on the clearance rack. It was a crumb cake button until I gave it a bath in Cajun Craze ink so it would match my card. Simple but elegant.

Supplies are all listed in the instructions up above so if you have any questions let me know by leaving a comment here. Thanks for stopping by At Paula's Place.
