Just had to make it...
It is my bedtime and I was going up to bed when my eye landed on my new SAB set "Vintage Labels". All of the sudden a card was born in my head and I thought "I better do a quick sketch of this so I can do it tomorrow". Then I was impatient with the sketch and raced downstairs to just DO the card. No idea why, and a colour combo I am fairly sure I've never done before!
I used the circle stamp in Crushed Curry (first time I even used that ink pad, I like it!) and punched it out with the scallop circle punch. Then I used a 1" punch on the middle. The stamped image was raised up on the card with dimensionals and the sentiment is actually inside the card. (as you can see just down below). I also used the "Tiny Tags" set for that pretty vine about and below the sentiment.
The paper is from the SAB 6x6 paper pad and that is the new Satin ribbon in Chocolate Chip, isn't it almost edible??

Surprise Fridays #2 - 3D Technique
I am LOVING this and seriously, once I wrapped my little scrappy brain around this, this is a 10 minute card for me! But I thought I'd use this for my Friday surprise post instead.
Isn't this just fabulous? I mean, really, this is fabulous. And the Upsy Daisy set is truly one of my all time favourites. I reach for it all the time and have to stop myself. It is a very easy technique that makes your Stamp-a-ma-jig your friend. Even with the Clear Mount stamps, I still think I'd use the Stamp-a-ma-jib as you are trying to just be slightly off.
Instructions:
1. Pick a cardstock colour and pull the same colour ink, white and versamark (versamark is optional but really I think it makes it).
2. Stamp your image on the cardstock in white ink. Clean stamp and ink up with the same colour stamp.
3. Using your Stamp-a-ma-jig, position your image just slightly off (down the left or up to right, I did down to the left). Stamp with the same colour ink. Clean stamp and ink up with Versamark.
4. Using your Stamp-a-ma-jig, again, position your image just slightly off again (off the same colour ink) and stamp your image.
5. NOW, your image looks like it is popping off the page, 3D!
Let me know if you'd like images, and I can take pictures of the process step-by-step. (leave me a comment, I love to see them!)

10 minute card Wednesday - #2!!
If this is not a go-to card when you really need to knock one out... I seriously don't know what is! I did this card in about 6 minutes flat (now if your scraproom isn't as meticulously organized as mine, you might take longer looking for stuff. ROTFL, seriously I can't even type that without laughing... ) Really, as long as you don't have to hunt for your punches for 20 minutes, this card is done in a snap. A go-to masculine card, I am in HEAVEN. (kudos to www.lindastamps.com - this design from her Stamping School videos)
And an added bonus today, here's the supplies needed to punch. The only thing missing is my mat pack, I'd put it away but you can easily do without it. AND, I used the Welcome Neighbour 6x6 paper pad from the SAB catalogue. I LLOOVVEE the colours. My new colour obsession, Bermuda Bay, Tangerine Tango and white... ooohhh la la!!
Contact me if you'd like some simple instructions ------> look in the top right corner, there's my email :)
Take some time to do something scrappy today!! Happy HUMP day, hope this card makes it a bit brighter.
