It is sometimes hard and difficult to express difficult times, but this stamp set So Sorry has so much to offer to bring comfort! This is what is so unique and rewarding about making your own cards…YOU get to let YOUR emotion and personality show through your works of art through YOUR heart! We all have so much to give, feel and say – there is no better way to let someone know you are thinking of them with you taking YOUR time to sit and write a card!
As the saying goes…P R I C E L E S S!
In looking at the stamps above you can see that I needed to work a bit of magic with the unbelievable tool, Stamp -A-Ma-Jig…a definitely and "A List" tool and one that is super easy to use after you give it 15 minutes! Trust me….you will say – how did I ever do without this! So easy!
When I saw a sample using this stamp set in this fashion – I immediately thought…wow, that looks hard – but it wasn't and the WOW effect it gives when you know you had to do some magic…wow!
This beautiful flowing stamp is from the set, Flowering Flourishes. I can remember when I first saw this stamp set I fell in love with it as I feel it is so versatile and I truly love using just one color…very classic and clean! To add a little pizzazz I punched out a small flower in the same color as the ink, old olive, and popping a pearl gives it that traditional finished touch of class! Curl the flowers up for another simple WOW factor!
The finale was placing the White Taffeta Ribbon giving it a finishing element to balance the card! So soft, elegant and classic…I just love it! Being "Susan" bow challenged I went to my "never fail me" - knots….looks great to me!
It wouldn't be one of my cards without having a lined envelopes! This lining is soft and subtle giving it the elegance that this card deserves! It is from the Brights Designer Paper Series. I know you have heard me rave and rave about them…each color collection that Stampin' Up! has…has their own color palette of the shades within. I have never bought more than one and you all know how many envelopes I use! They are a super value especially for all of the effects it will give you !
I hope that you have enjoyed this card…to me it is one to "bookmark" as it can be used so many ways. You do not need to have a bunch of colors to have a great card…you can see that I just used 2 and it is a clean and crisp card that makes a bold and effective statement!
Please email me or leave me a comment on how you like this card…I was thrilled with how many emails I received from my "carrot" posting yesterday! I thought it was super cute and my produce aisle is all ready for the Easter Bunny!
Here's to another great day….thanks for reading my blog….until tomorrow….

Another beautiful card!
I have the Flowering Flourishes stamp set, which I purchased to use to make the invitations to one of my daughter’s weddings (I have two daughters who are both getting married this spring). I’ve been mentally collecting ideas for using the set again, now that the invitations are done and mailed. One idea is to make “thank you” cards for the same daughter to use for thanking gift givers. The style of your card today is great for that idea!
Thank you, again, for your inspiring ideas! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love the stamp set, have wanted it since I first saw it. Now I know it is on my wish-list.
Beautiful card, isn’t it something how the simple can be so elegant sometimes. Lovely job, thanks for sharing.
