Have you seen the new promotion SU! is offering in July? Buy $60 of merchandise of your choice and receive the exclusive Reason to Smile in wood-mount or clear-mount for only $5. Honestly, when a stamp set is more affordable than a SNAIL refill, who can resist?
Yesterday, Angie and I did a stamping marathon and we challenged each other to make cards based on certain sketch or color combo challenges. The first one we tried out is the Clean & Simple sketch. Angie suggested we give ourselves half an hour to finish. Holy smokes! I barely had time to think, I just went solely on impulse and this is what I ended up with. I thought the Reason to Smile set would be a good choice since the sketch had a circle in the middle, in which I figured I could stamp the full flower. The sentiment comes from the Petite Pairs stamp set and was punched with the new Ticket punch. The background paper comes from the Summer Smooches pack, which is great for all your summery creations.
