Well, that was fun! I actually forgot about the 3×4″ card part and got almost all the way through a standard card before I remembered. I just retooled for the smaller card. What a fun size! Now I have to figure out how to make an envelope.
Ok…so here were my selections for my challenge:
- Stamp set: Garden Whimsy – I love this set, but haven’t used it in ages. It was fun to break out
- Colors: Bravo Burgundy (ick), Only Orange (hmmm…never seem to find a way to use this one), Sage Shadow (eww)
Here is the result:
 Recipe:
- Stamps: Garden Whimsy
- Paper: Whisper White, Sage Shadow
- Ink: Only Orange, Sage Shadow, Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke

My good friend and up-upline, Amy, just texted me to say “Help! I want to stamp but am creatively challenged!” So I made up this crazy challenge for her:
- Pick out your least used stamp set
- Pick out your 3 least favorite or used colors
- Make a 3″ x 4″ card
My thinking is that if we work with stamps, colors, and a size that we don’t normally use it’ll get the juices flowing. I’m joining her in trying this tonight, and you should too! When you are done, take a photo, post online (splitcoast, your blog, flicker, wherever), and leave a note in the comments on where to find it!
Can’t wait to see the results!

I made this card for my best guy friend. He’s stationed on the USS Carl Vinson which has been aiding the Haiti relief effort. He’s terribly exhausted and really needs a pick me up so I wanted to make him an extra special card. It doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day but it says everything I want it to say about how I feel about him and how I value our friendship.
Note: all the stamp sets used on this card are retired.
The base of the card is cut from an old Stampin’ Up box. I used the existing fold in the box and cut a standard card side on either side. I then tore a bit of the top layer of paper off of one side. I then sponged Chocolate Chip ink all over the card. Continue reading Another “guy” valentine
