Welcome to Create with Connie and Mary’s Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Mary and I will pick a theme. This month the theme is Sale-A-Bration! We will design our cards using this theme!

THANKS A BUNCH

This is a super simple card using the Thanks a Bunch SAB stamp set and Dandy Designs SAB Designer Paper! A double SAB card for our creatively simple challenge this week! I stamped and cut out the carrots by hand, but you could make this even easier by just stamping directly on the background!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pumpkin Pie cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top of the base card.
Two 3/4 x 5-1/4 pieces of Dandy Designs DSP was added to the top and bottom of the Basic White c/s.
Five carrots were stamped with Pumpkin Pie Ink and tops with Granny Apple Green Ink on Basic White, then hand-cut and added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Thanks a Bunch was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Granny Apple Green cardstock, then cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background.

SO easy! Make sure to check out Mary’s Creatively Simple card over on Create with Connie and Mary!

The 1 x 3 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped with Thanks a bunch in Mango Melody Ink and adhered to the front.

Three large carrots were stamped with the solid image in Mango Melody and the detail with Pumpkin Pie Ink on Basic White cardstock. The leaves were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink and the fern leaves with Granny Apple Green Ink. All were hand-cut and added to the front.
