I love make to Thank You cards and send them to my customers.  This is a card that is elegant yet "sweet and simple".  By changing the greeting stamp, you can use this design and the Paisley Petals designer series paper to make Birthday, Thank You, Sympathy, or Thinking of You cards.  To make the ribbon scrunching, I used Sticky Strip and scrunched the ribbon directly on to it.

Stamps: Say It Simply (Occasions mini catalog)

Ink: Old Olive

Paper:  Baja Breeze CS, Old Olive CS, Paisley Petals DSP, Whisper White DSP

Cool Tools:  1-3/4" x 7/8" Oval L punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, Scallop Oval XL punch

My Sweet and Simple stamping style had fun playing with the Plane & Simple stamp set.  This is a great "go to" stamp set for making masculine cards.  I also like the tone on tone stamping using the River Rock cardstock.

If you have any questions on this project, please leave me a comment.

Have you ever looked at the Idea Book and Catalog and wondered “How Did they Make That Card?”  Well, I was looking at page 112 and saw a card I wanted to make.

I needed to make Thank You Cards and immediately I was drawn to the beauty and simplicity of the purple card.  While I probably didn’t have all of the supplies they used, I still wondered “How did they make that card?”

Stampin’ Up! used to include all of the Stamping Supplies (or recipes) for each project in the back of the catalog.  Now, they offer a separate download that has all of this information:

While I didn’t have all of the supplies listed for the card, I was able to find out that the colors were Concord Crush and Perfect Plum, and I could also see all of the supplies used to make the card.  Here is my version of the card:

I added the extra punch behind the sentiment and just made it “Sweet & Simple“.

I just loved the "Good Luck" saying in the FREE Sale-A-Bration set "So Happy for You".  This stamp set comes with a small clover but I wanted a large clover as the focal point of my card. 

My Full Heart Punch (#119881) shown below came to the rescue:

You can quickly punch out 4 hearts from Designer Series Paper, pop on a button, and create your own clover. 

This was a card we made at my Card Class last night.  Thanks ladies for a great time and congratulations to Julie for winning the door prize!

I saw this idea from a fellow Demonstrator and loved how she described it as a Card with a Hug! It's actually a fun fold card that we will be making at my Card Class on Friday night.

If you enjoy stamping and want to have fun, come join us on Friday night at 7 pm.

Here is another cute card using the Punch Bunch stamp set and the Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper.  You can get both of these items for FREE when you place an order or host a workshop during Sale-A-Bration!

I have been having lots of stampin' fun with my recent Card Class, St. Theresa's Crop, and Fleur-de-lis Friends Team Meeting.  Check back soon and see my samples from these events!
