Some Exciting News and a card for Merry Monday Challenge 30

Today is the day!!!  Today is the day I get to share my exciting news ... I am one of the (three) Guest Designers at the Dynamic Duo's challenge blog for September. Waa Hoo!!!! Lesley even made us the following banner to put on our blogs.

I have a rather simple card to share today - using the latest Merry Monday sketch from Always Playing With Paper.

I used the larger white card bases from Michaels, so my card is about 5 x 6.5".  I also used a printed tag from a paper stack by My Mind's Eye.  Wrapped it with a little Bakers Twine (love) and some punched out letters from the same stack. The fun thing about using a paper package, is everything coordinates without a lot of fussing on my part.
 

The sweet felt embellishment is from the Stampin' Up Clearance Rack. I'm getting a lot of use out of those for my cards this year!

The tag is popped up onto the printed paper panel, which is also popped up. I used Stampin' Up's Dimensionals for this - as they give it the dimension without too much height. I've mentioned before how much I love them - and any time I place a SU order - I order more. Whether I need them imminently or not!

I added some Stickles to the letters for holiday sparkle, then outlined each of the letters with my Sakura gel pen.  A little notched polka dot banner finished off this card - simple, but cute and still mail friendly. And right into my large card stash!!

 Thanks for stopping by today.
