The “Go-To” design

As a stamper, I am always challenged to do something “new”.  Well, I’m just not that creative.  Sorry.  I’ve got a couple of familiar layouts I tend to gravitate to.  Just like that familiar pair of jeans or sneakers that you reach for because you know that they will be comfy, no matter what. 

I’ve got a design that I have used a LOT this past year or so.  If I need to do a card in a snap, chances are, it will look like these.  If I do a bunch of cards at a sitting, yeah, this might be the result.  These are the birthday card I sent out a bunch of in 2011 and one of my Christmas card designs.  Most of what’s here is retired Stampin’ Up! product.  The Specialty DSP on the birthday card is probably my favorite DSP ever.  I’ve used almost 2 full packages and still have one package I’ve only sampled out of.  The red on the Christmas card is retired, as is the stamp.  The ribbons and colors are all current, as are the rhinestones and the oval punch and embossing folder.  It’s simple.  It’s pretty.  It mails for one stamp.  I like it.  It’s all good.
