Pick It Up A Notch Challenge #2

Hello All

I am a few days behind with posting my challenge because my Dad was here visiting from Chicago. Now that he is gone I can get a little stamping done but I really do miss my dad being in the house with us.

The challenge is very easy and simple. I have made two identical cards one card will be easy and simple and the other card I will make some type of change to the card where I have Pick It Up A Notch. I love for you all to join the challenge as well and when you do please post here on my blog so that I can share with everyone. If you don't have a blog and post it on Splitcoast please use keyword putais02.

One Stamp Set Thank You Card

Tonight I designed my cards with using only one stamp set and one ink pad. Many times people are leery about stamping because of the cost, but as I explain to them stamping is as expensive as the artist makes it. So, I have designed two cards tonight one that is simple and the other one I kicked it up a notch.
Card A Details: Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Vanilla.
Stamp Set: Heartfelt Thanks Ink: Certainly Celery.

This is my kick it up a notch card
Card B Details:Cardstock: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Vanilla.
Stamp Set: Heartfelft Thanks Ink: Certainly Celery
Accessories: Mat Pack, Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, and Rhinestones
Technique: Paper Piercing.

Once again I used very minimal supplies to make these two wonderful cards.
