It's been 10 long weeks but our kitchen renovations are finally complete!  Here's a pic I snapped just before the big reveal at my Eastern Elegance Cards Class last Sunday.

What a lovely new space to stamp in! 

And cook in, too, of course!

And if you were wondering what the stamped projects looked like, here you go!

 We made 8 different cards each featuring a piece of Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper.  From just one pack of this DSP we were able to embellish 144 cards!  Now that's what I call maximizing your stamping supplies!

This weeks Dynamic Duos color challenge was perfect for using my new Regarding Dahlias stamp set! 

 

I received several beautiful swap cards using this set at the Stampin' Up! Convention and ordered it as soon as I got home.  

The card base is Crisp Cantelope.  I added a patterned layer of Crisp Cantelop from the In Color Designer Series Paper stack.  Then I stamped the Dahlias in Calypso Coral on a panel of Whisper White cardstock.  I found a remnant of the Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon to tie around it, and stamped the "Hi" in Calyspo Coral and punched out the layers with my 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" circle punches.  I used a bit of Calypso Coral Bakers Twine to make it look like the tag was floating.  Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the results!  I think I need to get busy designing a card class using this stamp set.  What do you think?

Happy Stamping,

Jessica Brigden
