Clean and Simple Saturday - Feeling Blue

Happy Saturday to you! Today's card was inspired by something on saw on Pinterest (perhaps) but I can't find it again to give credit. I just loved the way this flower blossom stamp from the Petal Parade stamp set frames the sentiment.

I stamped the flower in Bermuda Bay and used a piece of coordinating cardstock behind it to help it pop off the card. The sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo.

And of course, we need a little sparkle! I lightly went over the stamped image with Dazzling Details, I just love the way it shines!

So there you have it. Two stamps, two colors, and a bit of sparkle. The choices to change it up to personalize for the occasion or the recipient are endless! The stamp set Petal Parade is free with any $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration!

Enjoy your weekend and thank you SO MUCH for stopping by!

Hello, Lovely Notecard Set

I received this stamp set free when I attended Convention last summer and sadly, have neglected it all this time. So I pulled it out, determined to make a set of note cards with it!

I only used four colors; Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Old Olive, and added a few sentiments from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set.

 

The Stamp-A-Ma-Jig makes lining this stamp up easy! A quick sentiment from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set and rhinestones add just the right touch!

Another stamp from the Helly, Lovely stamp set in a different configuration, again a sentiment from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set, more rhinestones, and a layer of Silver Glimmer Paper for lots of sparkle!

Cute little arrows reinforce the sentiment and rhinestones make it pop!

And of course, the ampersand! To achieve this look, I simply stamped the first image and then stamped again without re-inking. I started from one side, used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and hoped for the best. I think they lined up well! For the rhinestones I channeled Ann Schach...I definitely used more that I usually do!

There you go! Simple and fun. And the best part is...four of these cards and their envelopes all fit very nicely inside one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes. Perfect size for a teacher or hostess gift!

Clean and Simple Saturday - Gift Card Set

Today I have a super quick, super cute set of note cards to share with you!

Everyone needs thank you cards, right? These were made using just one stamp set and coordinating colors from the Stampin' Up! Subtles Collection. Specifically, I used Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Marina Mist, Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder. But really any colors, or just one color, would work wonderfully as well.

I stamped the matching sentiment with Black Staz-On ink and it just jumps off the card! A layer of coordinating Designer Series Paper frames the top layer and really brings the color out.

And of course, my beloved Candy Dots are the icing on the cake :)

I found these clear boxes on the internet somewhere and I think they work perfectly for packaging these little guys up. A coordinated piece of ribbon and voila! A gift anyone would cherish.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today! I thank you so much for stopping by!

Clean and Simple Saturday - Just Sayin'

Saturday is here again and today I have a little bit different style of card for you! This one has very clean lines...well literally! lol

Isn't the Designer Series Paper wonderful? It's from the I Am Me Designer Series Paper set. The bright cheerful lines just seem to work well with the clean graphic lines of the new Just Sayin' stamp set.

And even better, this stamp set coordinates with the Word Bubbles Framelits Dies! Bundle them and save by purchasing the Just Sayin' Clear Mount Bundle! Love it!!!

And yes, candy dots are the PERFECT accessory! You may notice that I always add three. Odd numbers are just more visually appealing and I prefer three. Five looks too cluttered for me. 

I love the added pop of color that the simple strip of red ribbon adds.

This one definitely has clean lines! I hope you've enjoyed this card today and all the new product choices Stampin' Up! is offering with the Occasions Catalog! Now I'm off to enjoy a three day weekend...there will be lots of relaxing and football watching going on around this household!
