Whoo Hoo..Creative Crew Challenge for Jan. 2013 has begun. I am nolonger on the DT, but anyone can play.
I chose the CCREW0113CF Challenge to use only Stamps, Ink and Paper. Sounds CAS to me...my favorite kind of card :-)
I am combining with today's WT408 Challenge to use your New Toys :-) My "Secret Garden" Stamp set and Framelits Die from the new SU Spring Catalog and my "Pretty Petites" stamp set and Petite Curly Label Punch from the SAB Catalog are all new and so much fun :-)
My cards are 3x3 thank you note cards perfect for slipping into a SU Party order. The card on the right is a stepped up version of the card on the left.
Today is the 1st day to order out of the Spring Catalog and Jan. 22nd you can order free items from the SAB catalog with every $50 order (excluding S&H).
Happy New Year and Stamping....

Great choice, Nancy! The flower reminds me that even though it is frigid out right now, it won't be that long till Springtime flowers and warmer temps will be here. I, too, like both, but prefer the stepped up version.

Wonderful cards, Nancy! I love the acrylic block BG's, cutout sentiment for the one on the left and dimensional flower for the stepped-up version! Looks like you're enjoying your new toys!
