I was away at the weekend at a crop – i.e. a weekend filled with crafting, classes, music and chat with like minded people. My sister and friend joined me and we had a blast. We even made a bunch of cards, this being one of them – the inspiration for which was this week’s challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.
The challenge banner is
The stamp set is Acorny Thank You which I’m having a lot of fun with. I stamped the striped nut in delightful Dijon on very vanilla and then cut them out with the new punch. Then I punched out a few nut hats in chocolate chip and blackberry bliss although I stamped off once with the blackberry bliss or it looked almost black. I cut the top off the nut hat from the very vanilla version because otherwise it was peeking out from under the stamped one. The top two acorns are glued to the very vanilla piece whereas the bottom one is popped up with dimensionals. I really like the sentiment and the typeface of the hi – I stamped this in chocolate chip. I matted this in delightful Dijon and then put it on a blackberry bliss card base. The very vanilla envelope is lined using the envelope framelits and the retired backgrounds DSP – I need to get the new version of this DSP, it’s so useful, especially for lining envelopes.
See you tomorrow,

Fabulous! Loving those funky acorns. Thanks for sharing at CC&S.
Thanks Jane – I’m getting a bit addicted to them.
The acorns look great in our challenge colors! Thanks for making CC&S part of your crafting fun this week!
Thanks Patricia – and thanks for the existence of CC&S, it’s good to have CAS challenges.
Those acorns are just fab. I find I have to stamp off with Blackberry Bliss too. Such a brilliant CAS card, thanks for sharing with us at CC&S

Thanks Louise. I’m looking forward to the unveiling of challenge 150 later today! xx
I love how the polka dotted envelope lining coordinates with the spots on the acorn hats. Thanks for joining us at CC&S this week. Stef x
Thanks Stef. Coordination is definitely one of the things that I adore about Stampin’ Up! – even in this case where I’m sure they didn’t plan it! xx
