Today's project comes under the category of Clean & Simple. Lately, I've been drawn to this style of stamping. The cards below were inspired by a swap I received at Founders Circle from my friend Penny. Here's a card I made last fall with the same layout.
I had planned to add a greeting using Stampin' Up!'s Chat Room Rub-Ons from the Occasions Mini Catalog. But can I find them! Nope, not anywhere. Does anyone else suffer from the "I can't find it" disease?
I paired each of these cards with Stampin' Up!'s 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. The circles are punched with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch (Orange & Lime circles use a 1" circle punch). The next Whisper White Layer measures 1-3/4" x 1-3/4". The mats of coordinating color measure 2" x 2" (Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Olive Olive & Chocolate Chip).
Now, I need something to put them in. I started wracking my brain for just the right container and then remembered a stationary portfolio I made several years ago. I thought I could adapt it for this project.
A couple of things I like about this Portfolio Holder Box:
1. No adhesive - love it!
2. Quick & Easy
3. It can accommodate cards with bulky ribbon
4. Did I say, Quick & Easy?

So, which card do you like? Orange, Strawberry, Apple or Cherries? I'm leaning toward the cherries card myself. I really like the way the black sets off the cherries image. Let me know your favorite when you leave your comment today (which enters you in the drawing* for the Tart & Tangy stamp set and Portfolio Holder Box w/cards project pack)!

Some versions of Adobe X have bugs preventing PDFs from opening directly in the browser window. Additionally, some browsers better support viewing PDFs in the browser window. Typepad recommends you right-click on the PDF file and save it to your computer. Then you can open the PDF in your preferred PDF reader without error. Please note: This is a bug with Adobe and not something which is wrong with the PDF file links above.
Thanks for coming to my DOcelebration Online Event today. Stop back tomorrow for some more celebrating! Only 2 days left!
