Sometimes you get inspirations from others…and this would be this post!!!
It came from the the Stampin' Up's Website….but I added my own twist! I hope you like it and I hope that I have inspire you to make it or even better yet, to have a class or cyber order yourself so you can get the Stamp Set as is a "Hostess only" set!
I love the soft yet elegant look and feel of the card! The Stamp Set is Morning Meadow and at a glance you might think…"This is just o.k. – nothing too special…" but I think that this is a great example of what a fast and special card is!

Using just a minimal amount of products, this card was a SNAP to pull together! I think the effect that I love the best is the softness of the Pink Pirouette Flowers and then the boldness of the Strawberry Slush Big Flower!
The crispness of the black image is the "stand out" as well! The image of this stamp is dainty and the swirls of the image makes it a perfect back drop to put in the sentiment! After "flagging" the ends of the sentiment I popped it up to give it a "stage"
Using the Scallop Trim Border Punch on the ends of the Pink Pirouette Paper gave it a soft and feminine feel! I also took a sponge and lightly sponged the white card stock before adhering them together!

The envelope received a "double whammy" today! 1st, I lined it with the In Color Designer Series Paper and then I also stamped the lower right corner of he envelope with the beautiful flowers!

Cards can be sweet and fast…this is a great example! This would be a card that I would make multiple of to have a "stash"…just in case!!! Wouldn't it be beautiful in blues and purples…!!!
I hope today's inspiration let's you think….."I want to have a gathering to be able to get this great stamp set"!!! You can….email me here and we will either find a date that works or I can give you a "cyber code" and you can have your gathering via your cyber friends!
Also,with an order yourself of $150.00 or more…would qualify you for your own hostess $$$ which you could choose this super stamp set….
Have a fabulous day and until tomorrow……





Another beautiful card. Did you stamp the black image last? Will have to try with blues ‘&reds for a couple of birthday cards for this month.
Simple is always best for me. Love the concepts on this card. Can always change it out some. Thanks, Susan.
Love the background flowers the way you stamped. I like this card. The layers of stamps are fun! I want this set but I thought I would get it in French for Merci for a fun touch or even Spanish for the Feliz Cupleanos which I think I just spelled wrong. Anyway, I love the scrolly flourish thing! Thanks for a great idea.
