Stampin' Up!'s The Open Sea stamp set is great for non-flowery cards! Here's a great masculine card done in Basic Gray, with a touch of colour from the Howlstooth and Scaringbone Designer Series Paper. I love that the colours are Hallowe'en-ish but the design can be used for other occasions. When you use strips of DSP, you can stretch your stash really far as well.

I'll be prepping for the monthly gathering of the Stamp Club members, as well as for the upcoming Christmas Stamp a Stacks. For October, Stamp a Stack attendees will be receiving a package of Glimmer Brads to dress up their cards.  If you're interested in attending, please contact me or sign up on the Events page.  Dates are Thursday, October 18th and Sunday, October 21st. The projects are different each month, so if you attended in September, you'll be getting a stack of new ideas!

By the way, if you record the date in month-day-year format…today is 10-11-12! One of my Facebook friends pointed that out! Thanks Laura 🙂 Hope it's a good day for all of you.
