Merry & Bright

Well it's back to reality today right? I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a great weekend!  It's Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday and I've got a nice CAS card today that I think would be fairly simple to mass produce (with 1 or 2 changes).  The layout is FTL118 (which I liked so much, you'll see again later this week!).

I used Multi-Step Ornament & Stars from KSS which is a great little mini set - the perfect size if you've been wanting to give Kitchen Sink Stamps a try!  The set comes with a color recipe right on the inside of the label and it's only $8.50!  Plus, if you use my coupon code, JULIE10KSS, you get 10% off your order - cool!


I wanted to do something at the corners a bit different so I took my craft knife and cut two little slits at a 45 degree angle at each corner.  Then I just slipped the mat of patterened paper through!  I wonder if there's a punch out there that does this?  I bet there is, which would make this card truly a 5 minute card!  But if you didn't want to do that you could round them or do a ticket punch or just leave them!


Pay a visit to the rest of the KSS Crew today for lots of inspiration and wish Connie a Happy Birthday while you're at it!! Hope you have a great day Connie! :)  You too!
