Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge - 10 Minute Cards

The Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge 31 is to use your Kitchen Sink Stamps to create a 10 minute card! That is a difficult challenge for some of us on the Crew!! But the clean and simple style of 10 minute cards really allows the beauty and depth of the Kitchen Sink images to shine so I think 10 minutes designs and Kitchen Sink Stamps are a perfect fit.

We are also sharing with you the three new sets released on New Year's Eve to those attending the opening of Kitchen Sink Stamps' Forum and Gallery. What a great time we had! The stamp sets are Bunch O' Balloons, Champagne Celebration, and Sweet Heart Roses.These sets are available for purchase now in the Kitchen Sink Store. If you enter the store in the right sidebar, you will receive a 10% discount on all items in your cart - no code needed!

My first 10 minute card was created with Bunch O' Balloons - a great set for birthdays or celebrations of any kind!
