With my big birthday order from Eclectic Paperie, Joy sent me some stamped images.
One of them is this adorable Changito image.
I used it to practise with my Copic Markers. It just sat on my table with the monkeys teasing me everytime I saw them.
So I finished them off with Crate Paper, a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! set Smarty Pants and my new long rectangle templates from Nestabilities.
Today’s tutorial on SCS is the trifold Pocket card I made last month for Limited Supply challenge.
I had gotten a cute card idea from Ricks aunt, who is a fellow stamper.
I thought it would make a great tutorial. I love the soft look of the rounded corners.
Actually, today will be two tutorials on SCS. This one as well as one for making scallops with the corner rounder. I know it’s been out forever, but it’s nice to have in the resource section of SCS as well. I see the resource page as kind of a library. We need to stock the basics as well as the cool new techniques.
For this card I used the following supplies:
Stamps: Always
Ink: Chocolate chip, Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi
Paper: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi Cardstock, Tea Time Designer Paper
Acc: Groovy Guava double stitched ribbon, corner rounder, paper piercing tools, 1″, 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″ and scallop circle punches, Crop-a-dile, Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelet, Scor-Pal Tape (same as Sticky Strip, but without the static cling red liner)
Stephanie Hargis sent me this beautiful Rub-on card.

Thank you Stephanie.
I love the soft colors in this week’s inspiration challenge. I knew I wanted to use Soft Sky, Summer Sun, White, Mellow Moss, Old Olive and a dash of Chocolate Chip and a flower as main image. Here is what I came up with.
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock folded in half.
The next layer is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock. All four corner were punched with the ticket corner punch.
Over it is a 1/4″ smaller piece of Bali Breeze Designer Paper. All corners were punched as well. and the edges were stamped with the Argyle from All in a Row in Brown Palette ink.
I stamped the flowering branch from Embrace Life in Brown Palette ink on Soft Sky cardstock. The flowers were first colored with White Craft ink and Blender Pen. Next I added Summer Sun and a bit of Chocolate Chip over that. For the stem and buds, Mellow Moss and Old Olive Classic ink was used. The edges were sponged and paper pierced. It was layered first on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Whisper White cardstock, then on a scalloped Chocolate Chip rectangle, cut with my Nestabilities templates.
The horizontal Summer Sun cardstock layer measures 1 5/8″ x 4 5/8″. It was topped with a 1/8″ smaller piece of swiss dotted Whisper White cardstock. 5/8″ Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon was tied around both layers. . The main image was attached with dimensionals.
Sorry this sounds so rushed. I stamped it last night and I have to finish this entry before driving the boys to school ( huge science project – egg launcher to deliver) and a certain size ball to find.
This week’s inspiration piece is a Lanie Loreth print available at Coldwater Creek.
Use the colors or the pattern….anything that will inspire you to create your card.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Thank you to all that participated in the challenge. I am sorry I didn’t check your card out yet. The weather here was gorgeous and I spend a lot of time in my backyard, reading. I hope to get to it soon. My mailbox is overflowing. 🙂
I just can’t help myself. I love warm, sunny weather! It’s hard for me to stamp or work on the computer while the sun is out, especially during the first warm days of the year.
