This is a little friendship appreciation card for someone who is always helpful, kind, and makes my life easier whenever she can! My friend and I have a love of chocolate, plus we are both involved in Stampin' Up products and cardmaking.
Thinking about friends & chocolate, brought to mind a stamp set from way back when...2011 as it turns out! I always have it in the back of my mind to use old stuff in my stash probably because of the Use It Challenge, which requires just that...bring out the dusty old stuff and use it! I found an Inspiration Challenge idea that worked perfectly with this old stamp set. Next, I looked at Featured Stamper cards to CASE. Blending the two ideas, I came up with more challenges that would fit...12 in all, listed below:
1) AOCC22 - All Occasion Card Challenge/ February 2022. An ongoing/monthly challenge encourages you to set goals ahead for each month to help you complete and mail your cards more timely! This is a needed friendship/ appreciation card.
2) USEIT2022 - Use It Challenge/ February 2022. An ongoing/ annual challenge that requires you to use OLD/ DUSTY and long unused items and/or OLD/NEW items purchased, never used, and seemingly forgotten! OLD/ ALL retired: Chocolate Chip & Pretty in Pink cardstocks, Stamps--Eat Chocolate (2011 Occ.). Decorative Label punch. Polka Dots Embossing Folder. 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon (stash).
3) DINSP1021 - Fan Club Monthly Themes--October 2021/ Tickled Pink - 10/15/21. Theme requires a card full of pink. This card is for the INPIRATION Challenge...color was my inspiration...all that pink with dark shutters...my focus pink and chocolate brown. Click here for picture:Tickled Pink!
4) IC819 - Inspiration Challenge/ Beautiful Food & Drinks - 8/14/21. I found this chocolate and hearts picture inspiration, which led me to my old stamp set about chocolate and friends: Sweet Heart Cupcakes!
5) F4A556 - Free 4 All Challenge/ Slimline Cards! - 10/16/20. My card is a mini slimline, measuring 3-inches by 6-inches .
6) WT806 - Ways to Use It Challenge/ Round and Round - 8/20/20. Used corner rounder punch on bottom two corners.
7) S2S20AUG - Stamp 2 Save (aka Stamp 2 Support One Another)/ Celebrating Friendship - 8/6/20. A monthly challenge originally to make cards to earn credit to purchase more stamping products, but evolved into a place to fulfill the monthly challenge, make friends and support one another. I have a little card to let its recipient know that I appreciate her friendship and kindness, plus being a bit of a thank you as well!
SC805 - Sketch Challenge - 6/10/20. Sketch tweak: Rotate to horizontal orientation. Oval is a decorative label and centered rather than more left.
9) FS689 - Featured Stamper Challenge/ Oh Gee (aka Karen Gilbert/ kaygee47) - 4/19/20. Here is my card to case: Wedding Card for Beautiful Moments! Colors, slimline, and simplicity caught my eye...Needed a quick/ simple card for my chocolate/ friendship stamps. I kept slimline, similar colors and curved corner idea. My colors are pinker, dropped gold, added chocolate brown. Changed theme to friendship/ appreciation card that I needed.
10) CAS572 - Clean & Simple Challenge/ Sweet Chocolate - 2/10/20. The challenge requires you to create a chocolaty card. My card is made with retired Chocolate Chip cardstock and shows a chocolate bonbon on the front with hearts.
11) MMTPT590 - Teapot Challenge/ Let's Send Him a Note - 11/12/19. As I'm late to the party, I made this card as a note to let my friend know how much I appreciate her friendship, her kindness, and her helpfulness. The sentiment is perfect because we both like chocolate...a lot! Inside is hand-signed "thank you!"
12) ABC11J10 - Alphabet Challenge/ Letter "J" - Just Because - 5/8/19. Made this card "just because" I wanted to let my friend know how much I appreciate her!
