Getting Started Saying Thanks!


Hey friends! We had a really interesting challenge last month for my Artful Inkers team card swap. We were to take only one stamp set (which was later broadened to 2 to include a sentiment if needed), the colors from the Getting Started Collection in both card stock and classic ink, and create a card with only those items. No punches, no big shot, no bling, no nuthin'! Our goal was to come up with cards that anyone could create with just the Getting started Smooth Card Stock pack ($8.50, 2 sheets each of 8 1/2x11 Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Basic Black as seen on pg 174 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #120954), and the Getting Started Classic Stampin' Spots ($26.95 for 1 ink spot, sized approx 1x1" in the following 11 colors Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, Old Olive, Early Espresso and Basic Black as seen on pg 174 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #119979) and their choice of stamp set. This was my swap, and I did stick to a sentiment only set (Thank You Kindly, $16.95, pg 168 of the current Idea Book and Catalogue, #111700) which is one of my most used sets! Hope you enjoy and come back tomorrow and the next day, and I'll post 5 of my team members ideas per day, so you can see all the wonderful ideas YOU can make with these basic ingredients!

  1. What a great idea! And such a simple and adaptable concept (I.e. Other sentiments) too. Very fun!
