Easy and Elegant

I designed these cards for a class a while back - aren't they so pretty?

The card kit and stamp sets are now retired but the new catalogs have a TON of adorable new sentiments and amazing card kits!

These were unbelievably fast and easy to put together!

Wouldn't these make beautiful gifts? 

Here's a great idea - Make a bunch at a time, then give them as gifts with a pretty bow tied around them!

Here's what I used:

Something to Celebrate Stamp Set with Crumb Cake Ink

Designer Cards & Envelopes from the Occasions Mini

Pool Party Taffeta Ribbon

Pool Party Cardstock

Here's my next card - you could make a set of 4 and stamp a different sentiment on each. What a wonderful and heartfelt gift to give someone you love!

Here's what I used:

Pink Pirouette Cardstock

Loving Thoughts Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini and has now been carried over to this year's catalog! This stamp set is a must have!

Pink Pirouette Taffeta Ribbon

Very Vanilla Cardstock

Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder

Clear Rhinestone Brads

Best Friends Forever

This cute card comes right from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book. I replicated it and sent it to my BFF for her birthday!

Your BFF would love a handmade card from this set too!

Order Online and have it in just a few days!

Masculine Monday

We always need a "masculine" card don't we? It just doesn't seem fitting to give our male loved ones a pink flowery card right? But how then how do you make a card that's not pretty?

 I'm introducing a masculine card every Monday to help inspire some "masculine" creativity!

This card is from the stamp set The Open Sea. I love love love this color combo - Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

This stamp set is available on page 106 of the catalog!

Twitterpated!

The Occasions Mini Catalog features one of my most favorite prints EVER! It's called Twitterpated which is so appropriate because I am twitterpated over it! Not only does it come in designer series paper which has coordinating cardstock, ribbon, dies and brads, but it also comes in FABRIC!

Here are some other examples from other fabulous crafters of the Twitterpated designer fabric and paper!
