It's All Elementary...

That would be Elementary Elegance! Have you seen the new set in our Sale-a-bration catalogue? That's right, it's one of our FREE items you can choose until the end of March with every $60 order!

I received this set back in December (one of the perks of being a demonstrator!) and hadn't had a chance to really try it out yet! Here's a quick card I made last night using a favorite layout I like.

I started by cutting and embossing the right front edge with our Adorning Accents dies and embossing folders (LOVE those things!)

I added a strip of Berry Blossom designer series paper for color, but before I adhered it, I added a "ruffle" to each side by punching a strip of Natural White cardstock with our Lace Ribbon Border punch.

The main stamped image is from our Elementary Elegance stamp set.

Our Curly Label punch coordinates perfectly with this set!  It makes adding a greeting SO easy!  I stamped, punched out and then popped it up with a Stampin' Dimensional.

The addition of some Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon and Victoria Crochet Trim along with three of our smallest pearls finished it off.  Oops - almost forgot.  The cute brad in the center of the bow is also from our Sale-a-Bration catalogue!  It's part of a ribbon and brad combo pack!  Love them! :)

Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!

A Valentine for my Hubby

Just a quick post to show you the Valentine card I made for my hubby.  Quick, simple with no extra frills.  Hope he likes it! :)

This is not my original design.  I saw the layout online, but when I clicked on the link, I kept getting an error message saying the page didn't exist!  So unfortunately, I don't know who originally designed this card.  :o/

I started by cutting out the letters with my Serif Essentials Big Shot dies which I layered on Whisper White, Basic Grey & Basic Black cardstock.  The only two "embellishments" are the little stamped tag with a little Early Espresso Bakers Twine and the little heart punched from our red Glitter paper using our Heart to Heart punch.  Both are "popped up" off the page with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The card measures 5x5.  While I don't make a lot of square cards, I really do like them. :)

Happy Stamping!
