Here is another square card…I just love being "square"!!! This new stamp set, Really Good Greeting, is just a fun stamp set! I love the fun and modern typesets they chose! When you look at the new catalog, there are so many fresh flairs of typesets….I think it gives a card a lift!

Have you even known someone that always works really, really hard but always seems to fall short! Well this card is for a dear friend that has just launched a very exciting business and it has reached a milestone that she never imagined could happen! I know that there will be a huge smile on her face when she receives this!

The sheer classic combination of the Very Vanilla, Basic Black and Crushed Curry really sets the tone for this card! The"patterned circles" came from the Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper and I punched them out with the 1 1/4 circle punch!

I must admit…I have been having a bit of a "brain block" with using the new 3/4" Chevron Ribbon…so instead of the "Susan knots" , I tried something a bit different!

Before I adhered the piece, I took a piece of the Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon ( my all time favorite ribbon to work with) and made 2 simple knots before putting a Regals Button on them!

I did a bit of "stitching" with the black marker to give it a bit of pizzazz! I think the circle are a "happy look"…kinda reminds me of balloons! Keeping true to my commitment this week, I did stamp the inside of the card and added 2 more of the designer paper circles! ( totally forgot to take a picture of the inside…sorry!)

Making the custom envelope was a cinch with the diagonal scoring plate! Start with a 7 1/2" square and score on all sides at 3 3/8"…take your paper snips and cut away the corner…add some sticky strip… – BAM….1 perfect envelope for a 4 1/2" square card! Naturally I added the same paper for the liner as was on the card….looks like the perfect finishing touch!

Bringing "sunshine" to someones day is so easy…if it is with a card…a simple phone call…a hug…a smile – we all have the ability to make a difference is another persons day! I hope that you go out today and make someones day! This is a goal of mine to do each and everyday, to get a simple "hello" or a smile in return is all I need!

As always, thanks for popping by and thanks for telling your friends and family about my blog! I would have never imagine a year ago that I would be doing this and I will say…true – it is a lot of work…but the work is paid back to me with your support and inspirations! I thank YOU!!!

Until tomorrow……
