Stampin' Up Perfectly Penciled - Creations in Paper

Stampin’ Up Perfectly Penciled

Hello Everyone – Another bright card is the share today with the Parakeet Party for the Stampin’ Up Perfectly Penciled creation.

I love the new black and white paper in the Perfectly Penciled collection. You can use it as is or color the images like I did on this card.

Look at this fun bright card! I love playing with new supplies and there are 3 on this one. New images, pattern paper, and colors make this Stampin' Up Perfectly Penciled idea a great card to brighten someone's day.

My layout came from the Global Design Project sketch challenge. They had a fun sketch I decided to play along with.

I used 2 new products on today’s card. The Sending Smiles stamp set and the Perfectly Penciled pattern paper. Both are great products to add to your stash.

The cute flower in the stamp set is perfect for decorating the inside of the card and your envelope (I do not have the envelope with me as I forgot to bring some).

I love the new bright color used on this card! New images, pattern paper, and colors make this Stampin' Up Perfectly Penciled idea a great card to brighten someone's day. Make sure you check out the card front so you know what to order.

Simple images make it easy to create great cards. The Painted Poppies has a simple image which was used for this idea. Another stamp set with a simple image is Nature’s Harvest which was used for this idea.
