Today I combined one of Stampin’ Up!’s new colors with Crumb Cake: Shaded Spruce. It’s a very bright yet rich green:
I used the new Critter Sweaters set by Simon Says Stamp. All the lines are separate stamps, so you can combine them however you like. I colored my coffee cup with Copic markers. Here is a close-up:

I love this card Darlene, Kraft Card Stock gives the cards a very warm and cozy feel.
The pop of green and red against that pretty pattern really pop.
Another awesome challenge to get us ready for the Holiday season.
Thank you.
Hugs.
Maria.

Great challenge theme! I love the homey touch your card has, thanks to the addition of the Crumb Cake. Great job on lining up the sweater pattern stamps, too. I know how tough that can be with long skinny stamps–especially to get them all straight! Thanks so much for sharing this. š± ~ Andrea

This card is very Scandinavian in its appearance. Love it!

I never use kraft cardstock, but I really like this card! Darlene, me using kraft is like you using patterned paper!! This is a major challenge for me, but a I am up to the challenge!

I have had my eye on a coffee mug stamp set for awhile now. This might be my selection. Love your design. I wonder if I could use a sweater stencil to get a similar look.

Very pretty background. I really like it and the SU green card stock is a nice choice also. Pretty simple once you get all those single line stamps lined up. Thanks Darlene.

Darlene, I love this card, and I think that I have the stamp set, but not sure, and did you do a video on it? Just simply beautiful. I will look in your files and see if I can find it. As always, thank you for the creativity. Fondly, Dottie
