Happy Monday, peeps! The As You See It challenge this week is a Speed Challenge, with the theme of trees, and I knew just what stamp I wanted to use for my under-10-minute card! I also used the color palette from Sunday Stamps:
Fragrant Forest is a gorgeous background stamp and it inks up and stamps like a dream! I got my supplies together: Soft Stone cardstock from Papertrey, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent inks, Greetings of the Season and Fragrant Forest stamps, a die from Peaceful Season, some gold pearls and some retired silver ribbon. I set my timer and away I went:
I stamped the background stamp in Evening Evergreen and the sentiment in Soft Succulent, diecutting it with the Peaceful Season die and threading the ribbon through the slots:
I then added the gold pearls and attached everything to the stamped panel, then attached that to the card front. I messed up my positioning of my card front in my stamp positioner, and didn't get the image stamped all the way at the top, so it took a wee bit more time to cut a new card and trim down this panel, but I still made it under the 10 minute mark:
I did take another couple of minutes to stamp a sentiment on the inside, also from Greetings of the Season; I didn't time it but it was less than two minutes!
Another card to add to my stash....I'll be getting them ready to mail out soon! Thanks for visiting today!
After a long, long dry spell, we got some rain and wet snow last week and I heard a familiar yak-yak-yak out my craft window:
I followed this female pileated woodpecker from the suet outside my craft window to the bird feeder outside the kitchen window---she was quick! It looks like she was trying to get shelter from the storm, but trust me, she was just looking for food! She saw me in the window and quickly flew off! But it was exciting to see one this close---haven't seen one for several months!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

What a great stamp! You made a beautiful card in no time at all! What a sweet blessing to see a pileated woodpecker!
So pretty, LeAnne - I agonized over this stamp and let it get away! Beautiful colors and tag choices - and a great time to boot! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It AND Sunday Stamps!
Another beauty! I love that forest background. The way you've threaded the ribbon through the sentiment label is just so stylish! Great card and not one you'd look at and think it was a speed job! Thanks for sharing with us at As You See It.
Wow! This is an awesome stamp, LeAnne! Such a pretty card that looks like it took much longer to do! I'm envious of your visitor! I'd love to see one of these at our feeder.
Gorgeous...that paper is fantastic and perfect for our color challenge over at Sunday Stamps!! We are so glad you joined the fun and played along with our Elegant Christmas color palette!! Deb Horst, DT #SSC349
That forest of pines is great for a one-and-done card and the stamp positioner makes light work of it for sure. I love the ribbon treatment and threaded sentiment tag - a lot of detail and interest for a quick card that celebrates the beauty of trees. Perfect for our As You See It speed challenge this week!
That forest background is fabulous!
LeAnne, this forest background stamp is amazing!!! I love the gorgeous scene you created. The ribbon threaded through the tag is such a pretty way to add spark. SO happy you joined us at Sunday Stamps this week! Love you visitor, too!
I've always loved the combo of Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. I miss them. And combining them with gold really looks elegant! What a great time, too! Thanks for getting your adrenal glands working overtime with us at As You See It Challenges!
So simple and beautiful. I love this LeAnne! Thanks for joining Sunday Stamps for challenge #349.
