Happy Monday! Let's all have a great week…I feel prepared to inspire you this week! The stamp set, Fabulous Phrases is truly one fabulous stamp set!

I get asked often…how do you get inspired and where do you get your ideas? Well…today's post is a prime example of taking our fabulous catalog and being inspired!

Ever since last year when this catalog came out…I always admired the card on page #133! Today's card is a different twist on this card!

Here you go…paper-crafter's – what a great card that could be mass produced as it would cover many reasons of reaching out to a friend…plus it is easy!

• Smoky Slate, the super ***NEW***color is my backdrop! I absolutely love grey, pink and white together….one classic trio!

• After making it into a standard A-2 Card…I used the Edgelits Large Scallop Border running it through the Big Shot to create an interest on the right side of the card! Cute….right!?!?

• Cutting a strip of Pink Pirouette in a 2" piece…I used a ruler and drew a faint pencil line at 1/2" increments to make sure I had a path to follow…easy!

• Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig was truly the lifesaver and necessary tool for this card with the Stamp Set of Fabulous Phrases… So easy….just going down line by line with the Melon Mambo ink!

• Adding a smidge of the grey and then the white to frame this piece made it interesting! Not to the fun touch – using the sticky strip, I adhered the 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon in the Melon Mambo!
• 
• The Boho Blossoms Punch came out to add a bit of pizzazz and curling the edges slightly – I adhered them with Glue Dots…so darn easy and then made the classic touch of a pearl the finale. 
• When this card is closed – you see the white that I layered on the inside peeking though….looks great!

• Now to the envelope….a "Susan" lined with a classic pattern from the Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper add a great finale!

Thanks for "popping" by and please share my blog with your family and friends….you can sign up right under the catalog and be inspired each and every morning with me!

Please shoot me an email or leave me a comment on today's post…it is always great to have a "go-to" card for dear friends…this one "fits the bill"!!!
