And no, I'm not going to use my computer. I'd rather whine and keep buying stamps.
This card (a variation on the holly card here) almost totally works for me, but I wish the Joy stamp had a cleaner font that was a just a tiny bit heavier. It's really too light here. Using PTI's Turning a New Leaf is so much fun though. Very simple, very easy. I foresee much easy beauty coming from that set. Nichole Heady is a complete genius. I want to be her when I grow up.
To all my readers in the US, I hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Just be happy you have this set...I am very very jealous!! I love the simplicity of this, of course!! and I can't wait to see all the beauties you make with more leaves
ReplyDeleteVery pretty just as it is. Got my Turning a New Leaf set yesterday, can't wait for the weekend to use it.
ReplyDeletesusan,
ReplyDeletethis card is exquisite!
and i think it would be just as perfect without any sentiment. the little bow and the sparkles are all it needs.
have a great thanksgiving!

Beautiful card, Susan! As always!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what your cardstock preference is for your cards? They always look so sturdy,yet elegant.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I agree completely with you on both counts - never seem to have quite the right stamp, but don't want to (am afraid to, actually) use my computer! Gorgeous card !I have orders for 400 cards (all to be done in the next two weeks), so simple is going to be the name of the game. Gotta go start cutting some paper!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan or should I say mini rhinestone junkie too. Great card idea.

You're right, Marty. This card would work better without a sentiment altogether.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I'm trying to wait patiently for this set to get here. And I love the notion of complaining, so we can buy more stamps! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis card is stunningly elegant and simple....I just adore it...and agree with others that it will work without a sentiment....gosh I am so glad I am getting this set - I knew when I saw it that it was right for me.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant! Happy Thanksgiving, Susan!
ReplyDeleteDUDE! I am seriously with you! AND, how can I have hundreds of ribbons (last count almost 300 and that was a year ago) and NOT the right shade of pink? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis card is darling and I agree, Nicole is genius. I have this set and just inked it last night. I am in love...
What a cute, striking card!
ReplyDeleteI feel so frustrated with my lack of sentiment stamps as well. Will we ever have enough stamps.
You'd never know you needed more stamps.
Lol! I have the same problem, and I'm trying to figure out a way of sorting them all. I love the Turning a New Leaf set!!!! I wish I could get it, but it'll have to wait.
ReplyDeleteoh wow....we are having the same dilemma....not the right sentiment!! I hear ya...grrrr....
ReplyDeleteLove your card! So pretty.
this card is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMary-Jane
Stamps are like shoes .... you can never have too many!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pure simplicity of this card and agree that it would look just as good without the sentiment.
TFS
If the sentiment were a heavier font, it would probably not fit so perfectly in that curve, and that's one of the things I so admire about your cards........the sentiments often are in unexpected places that are always just perfect. To me, this is another perfect card and without the sentiment it would be some other person's card but not the artist Susan's card.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty with that perfect bow and tiny gems!!
ReplyDeleteHappens to me all the time, and I have thousands of sentiments! This set looks fabulous on you, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect just like it is. It's so striking in it's simplicity.
ReplyDeleteSusan!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card and I got so caught up in making my cards this year I didnt get to post as much as I like to and I just had to tell you this was my favorite of all the holiday cards you made, its ADORABLE!!!! Hugs, Cookie :D
