Stamping Ideas

Wonderful in every way…

I love simple and elegant cards I can complete in under 10 minutes. This card is a perfect example of a card I could make a bunch of and be happy with the results. When making cards, why not make at least two at a time?! That way, you'll have one to give right away and one to add to your card stash that you can use when you need it. If you just complete the card without adding your greeting, then you can just add a quick greeting when you need to use the card.

This card was one I did for my card class this month and was inspired by Ronda Wade. It uses our new EPOXY BRADS from the Occasions Mini. These brads are so darling and if you don't have them yet, what are you waiting for…YOU NEED THEM!

Z Fold Butterfly Card

A couple of night's ago was my card class. We had such fun stamping 6 awesome cards together. Here's one of the ones we made:

I got the idea from Ronda Wade and I love how it turned out. To fold the card base, you just fold in half like normal and then fold your front piece back. So simple and it makes for such a unique card!

*Occasions Mini

This week is proving to be super busy. I had my card class; I'm preparing for my Stampin' Up! Garage Sale tomorrow and then I was asked by Stampin' Up! to demonstrate a workshop wow at the Regional Seminar next weekend so I'm busy making samples for that. I have to admit, I'm terrified to demonstrate in front of so many talented demonstrators…but, how do you say no to Stampin' Up!? lol.
