Stampin’ Up! Is a master of coordination and that is true of the three coordinating patterns from Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper used on today’s card. The koala was ready to be cropped with a 2-3/8″ Circle Punch and become the focal point. The black and white dots are the background “stage.” A wee bit of the black pattern peeks out top and bottom from behind the “stage.”
WHAT I LOVE ! There’s something so striking about a white embossed sentiment on black card stock. Perfect for a clean and simple style.
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s thank you card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #69, which I shared on Tuesday!

Cathy S.- “I joined so I could get a discount on my craft supplies. I’ve been a demonstrator for 11 years because I love paper crafting and get so much motivation, encouragement, support and inspiration from the Pals.“
Veronica M. –“The discount is wonderful. But my love of stamping and sharing with others has truly blessed me with new friends!“

Renee C. – “I joined because I have always loved to make homemade cards and loved the products and of course the discount was an added bonus. I have remained because I love the Pals! The inspiration and encouragement are priceless.”
