Love this snail

I loved Garden Whimsy and the matching Jumbo Whimsy ever since I first layed eyed on it in the catalog. Of course it was on my first order. I had to have it!

I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Always Artichoke cardstock folded in h alf. I punched the two bottom corners of my 2″ x 4″ piece of Groovy Guava cardstock with the ticket corner punch and wheeled it with white cardstock and the Jumbo Rough Around The Edges Wheel.

Since my freaking scallop circle punch gave out on me yesterday, I reverted back to using my Marvy Uchida scallop circle punch. It’s a bit bigger then the one from Stampin’ Up!. I stamped the cute, cute snail with Chocolate Chip classic ink on Shimmery White (is there any other white cardstock?) and punched it out with the 1 3/8″ circle punch. Next I cut a layer of River Rock cardstock with my coluzzle.

River Rock Double Stitched Ribbon finishes this quick card off. I have to say I like how it turned out. I will have to use that color combo again. I love this saying! So perfect to send a card to good friends!

 Forgot to mention: The paper pierced trail of the snail is made with the Priceless Classy Brass. I had to have it and it’s wonderful for the paper piercing guides alone!

Adorable card. I must say the new catalog finally pushed me over the edge on finally ordering the jumbo wheels. I’ve held out so long, but they are just too cool to go any longer without! LOL!

Hi Beate,
I’m a die-hard fan of yours. From colors to style you got it going on with card designing.

I know you are not crazy about Wild Wasabi, but I have to say it is one of my fave colors now. You should try it instead of the always artichoke. I think it will make the card a bit more lively.
You are always taking on challenges, challenge yourself to using Wild Wasabi tomorrow! :-) Michele

I so shoulda ordered this set!!! This is fabulous in the new colors!! I love that river rock ribbon! Hmmm… maybe after 10 days in Virginia, I’ll have to put in another order?! LOL Oh! That’s bad! Please, though, keep posting cards with this set! Make me want it! :) (Well, I do already want it, so I guess that’s not the point!)

Hi there!

I love checking your blog and have been a fan of your tutorials on SCS for a couple years now. :-) Thanks for all you share!

So your brand new SU! scallop punch isn’t working already?? I was thrilled when I saw it in the IB&C and it’s on my first order - which is yet to arrive. Now I’m a bit worried!
