Have you been bad? Shopping yesterday too much on Black Friday? Well I was bad too I have been surfing, a LOT. I found this GREAT blog called No Time to Stamp? by Sharon Johnson. She has a challenge with NO deadline, the challenge is to make a card giving thanks and keep it simple. (that is the most challenging for me!) So I just could not say no, here is my contribution. You can also see other samples over at Splitcoaststampers.com by searching for the keyword ssnotime63.
I actually re-worked one of my cards from my August New Catalog Open House. So some of you have seen this before, sort of. Here is my Stamp Simply #63 for Sharon. Simple is NOT my normal style and I felt this fit the bill. The flower center is the only really "complicated" part and it only looks that way. Here is a close-up. 
To make the center of the flower, just use your 1/8" handpunch, to create two holes, like a button in the center of the flower. Thread your ribbon from the back, tie a loose knot, thread the other end of the ribbon thru the other hole and there you have it. I used Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Urban Garden DSP, Basic Gray and Encore Silver with (retired) Detail Silver Embossing Powder. Stamp Sets are Eastern Blooms (which comes in the SU Starter Kit) and All Holidays for the Thank you. Scallop Square Punch is hiding under the cut out flower.
Hope you enjoy your day. Find time to stamp. Thanks for the Challenge Sharon.
