So there you are. I'm psychic.
These three cards are part of my NEW RESOLUTION. That's right. I finally settled on a follow-on for my Ues-Every-Image-Stamp resolution. Now, I'm going to use every set to make at least four different layouts. If the set has reasonable sentiments (as in, NOT kind thoughts, cherish, or puppies poop rainbows), I can only use those.
Doesn't that sound like a cool challenge? Well, it sounds cool to me.
The idea came to me when I realized how little I'd used this set (Papertrey's Paper Tray). It's a fabulous little set, one of the first Papertrey sold, and perfect for the graphic, clean style I love. So many sets have little stamps, like the line in this one, that aren't exactly images (more like elements) that I almost never use. Also, while most sentiments in the set are ones I don't use that often, the Happy Birthday, Thank You, and With Sympathy stamps just haven't been used enough.
The new resolution encourages me to make use of sentiments and those little elements in sets without mandating it. I don't want to be told what to do...even by myself, LOL!
So, I'm psychic and resolute. And I laugh at pears. Now you know everything about me.
Puppies poop rainbows?! bahaahaa I love your new resolution!
ReplyDeleteThese cards are awesome. You always add just the right touch.
Why is it that YOU make these darling CAS cards, and they look darling. I make these CAS cards and they look like they are missing something? Sigh.....I'll never look at pears or rainbows without laughing out loud! Your cards are wonderful, as always! hmmm....psychic or psycho? lol...hugs!
ReplyDeleteSomeday, I will make and send you a card with the sentiment "puppies poop rainbows." It will make you laugh. There, I'm psychic, too ;)
ReplyDeleteI love what that little line does for your design -- perfect!
What a beautiful set of cards. Your cardmaking and psychic abilities are amazing:)
ReplyDeleteGreat resolution. I love this design...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Is there really a stamp out there that says "puppies poop rainbows"? It would sure be good for a laugh, especially for someone with a new puppy! Thanks for making me laugh with your pears and puppies! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo different! Leave it to you to use the mostly-ignored stamps in a stamp set. Those little nothing tiny things that we don't even think about using. You use them brilliantly! I love the way you've arranged them on this card. It's different, really clean, and so eye-catching. And the bit of bling is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove these cards. So simple and yet so pretty. And I bet these three cards are much harder to make then one might think. You got the line and the sentiment absolutely perfect. I'd probably get frustrated.
ReplyDeleteI like your resolution, Susan. And I wouldn't use "puppies poop rainbows" either, if I had that in a set!
ReplyDeletePuppies poop rainbows?? Wish they would, would look so prettier when they're left on the street! Nice resolution, I wondered how you were going to follow it up.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout for these cards! But you haven't linked them to the OLW yet!
ReplyDeleteThese are so sweet!! Love the colors, and love how you make small elements LOOK so big and perfect in their space...you are amazing:)!!
ReplyDeleteYou have a such an artistic eye. All your cards are wonderful, these 3 are simple and great at the same time.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, what's wrong with puppies poop rainbows as a sentiment? Although I'm partial to kaleidoscope kitty hairballs, myself. :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful set -- and look at that bling!
That is a great resolution! And I agree, the minute I find a sentiment that says puppies poop rainbows, you're getting a card!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super stylish set of cards - love the colours you've used!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a good laugh and a ton of inspiration...I LOVE the idea of using a simple sentiment and simple design and making several at a time. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteROTFLOL! With two dogs in my household I know that puppies can't poop rainbows even though they look like they can! Your cards and chit chat are always inspirational!
ReplyDeleteLove this card design. I will definitely use the idea!
ReplyDeleteSusan...how do you DO it! You take something as simple as a line and you create such a fabulous card! Love them all...and now I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteSuch a stylish design Susan and I love the three different colour ways :)
