This seems to be one of the easiest challenges I've seen in a long time. I don't do it often enough, but I really LIKE stamping a phrase or saying onto a punched out shape (although actually, I stamp the words and THEN punch them out. It's so much easier to punch with the punch upside down, straighten the words exactly where they should appear, and punch!) For this card, I used a set called Little Lambs. It's a cute little set that I see a Sunday School teacher using to encourage his/her class, but we ALL need a little encouragement now and then, don't we? I think the images are so cute!
Back to the challenge. All products are in the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. For this card, I used most of the instructions for size given (a rarity for me!) The card itself is Peach Parfait, a 2010-2012 In Color for Stampin' Up! The paper is Concord Crush and Pear Pizazz (bottom end punched with the Scallop Punch) from the 2010-2012 In Color Paper Stack. The ribbon is the Concord Crush Twill ribbon, but I added a strip of 1/4" Very Vanilla ribbon down the middle for a little of my own "pizazz." The flower is from the Flower Fest stamp set, stamped with Concord Crush Classic Ink on Pretty in Pink card stock and punched with the 5-petal Flower Punch. That was it, very fast and easy. If you want to know how I backed the words, you'll have to leave me a comment and I'll let you know!
This is a card that can be re-produced with these colors or change the colors up, very quickly. Make a few and send them to your friends when appropriate. Imagine the receiver's wonder and excitement both at the card and the phrase!
Happy Stamping!
