Peanuts and Peppers' Card Challenge

Happy Friday!

I love Stampin' Up! products because the papers easily coordinate with so many things like the ink, ribbon, buttons, etc. I am in Lisa's hostess program so that once a month, I spend a small amount to collect the things I want. But I digress...on to Lisa's challenge:



The challenge was step-by-step directions each week, starting with the basics: card stock.



I love SU's card stock because it is sturdy. I cut the base (red) 8-1/2 x 11 into two and did the same for the white (one panel will go inside so that I can write on it).



Layers are important.



Add an image and sentiment and your card is almost done.



For the white card stock, I punched a border using my SU border punch.




I added a bow and gem stones to bring it on home. Wasn't that easy? If you'd like to see some really awesome crafts, check out Lisa's blog - she's so awesome!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting! :-)
