For today's Technique Lover's Challenge, TLC264, DP by Me: to create your own designer paper.
I make my own "designer paper" rather often. Today I went very CAS for these two cards. On the left, I made the Oink DP by stamping an "oink * oink" sentiment repeatedly in belle rose on white. For the card on the right, I stamped a lollipop in orchid on white card stock again and again. Both images were colored using ink or Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen.
These two note cards will be part of a set of four notes that I'll give as a hostess gift to a friend who is hosting a bunch of moms for lunch tomorrow. The other two notes are here: CAS58 Punny Notes by ejkeaton at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks for looking!!

Emily - So cute! The set is adorable. I like the rounded edges, the use of a large portion of a circle, and your homemade DP (I like to do that too!). They're really cute, and the mom would probably like this a lot! I have this set, but don't think I've used it at all yet because I did not know what to do. THis set has me thinking!

Another cute pair! I like how you created the 'oink' & lollipop DP - I can't believe how much the lollipops look alike! I hope you don't mind if I CASE this layout sometime... ;)
