hi!! there hasn't been a lot of stamping going on around here lately, but i saw glenda's new challenge this week and i really wanted to play along. the challenge is to case a card created by the a muse creative team. this was an easy challenge because i just saw a card on krystie's blog that i really wanted to case! :) krystie is a new addition to the design team and i am just thrilled about it because i am a *huge* fan of her work!! so check out these cuties! i just fell in love with that first card! recently i was at target and they had a package of felt pieces in the dollar spot. it was 75 pieces i think, and it included a pumpkin, an apple, a brown leaf and a purple flower thing. i bought them thinking they would be fun to play with, but they have been sitting on my desk ever since because i didn't know what to do with them. after seeing krystie's card, i knew what to do! :) first i took one of the felt pumpkins and punched it with the little ek success pumpkin face punch (which i had to have because of how perfect it goes with a muse's new solid pumpkin stamp!) and made a little halloween card. i couldn't believe how perfect the punch worked with this too! then i made an apple card that i thought would make a great set of cards for a teacher gift. quick, easy and cute! yay! thanks to glenda for the challenge and krystie for the inspiration! :) the pumpkin card also goes for this month's lounge challenge, octoberfest. i hope you are having a great week! thanks for visiting! :)
I'm loving that apple card - I think I'll use my Martha Stewart apple punch and make up some quick and easy cards for the teachers this week while kids are on fall break - Thanks for the inspiration!

I love these cards! I wished I had seen these at my local Target...I would have grabbed 'em. It's funny because I always check the $ spot and I haven't seen them at all. I'm gonna keep my eye out, but I have a feeling I won't find them now that Halloween is over. You had no problem punching the face out with the punch? It's so cute!!! And I love the apple too...cute for a teacher.
