For those of you that subscribe to my blog…sorry for the delay getting to you – I changed the timer anf forgot to hit save! Have a great day and enjoy today's post!

Now if this card does not give you a quick "pick me up"…..please email me and let's talk! I have had an extrememly busy week and as I was driving home from work I thought, I need to come up with some super quick and easy cards!

How does this tickle your fancy! It is from the Best of Greetings Stamp Set, and remember, these stamps are only avaliable for a limited time as they are in the 25th anniversary collection! The BIG bonus is…when you purchase 6 of these…you can get a 7th one free!!! Please click here and see all of the available stamp sets! I adore them and think the "themes" have been super!

This card was a super cinch to make and just think of all of the different framelit shapes you can use and also all of the different stamps you can use! The base of the card is from my "go to" Note Cards & Envelopes..just love these gems!

Today's card I used the Squares Collection Framelits (it's hip to be square!!!) This is soooo darn tootin' simple and I think the simplicity of this card has a WOW factor…

I first opened up the card to lay it flat and then cut my square out of the front of the card! ( I used the Square #2)

TIP ALERT: Take a pencil and draw the square on the inside of the card so when it is time to stamp the sentiment…presto you will get it straight….you will look like a pro and then simply erase the pencil lines!

To create the outside square I simply took the #2 and #3 framelit and ran it through the Big Shot to create the square that I adhered to the outside of the card front! A HUGE help and a "must have" product is the Big Shot Magnetic Platform…this makes it a total cinch for perfect placement each and every time!

Products like this make is so quick and easy to get a great end result! The best advice I can give a new stamper is…build up your supplies with "tools" that will allow you to make your projects as quick and easy…this Platform has saved me so much time  – plus it saves on paper as I do not "miss" on my cuts!

 Easy…right? Adding some flowers in the corners was a quick pop of the Boho Blossoms Punch and also the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (I love that fun name) Remember….doing things in "3's" works….it is easy on the eye and the balance will always be "spot on"!!!

To the centers of the flowers I put a Candy Dot from the Subtles Collection to match the Calypso Coral! I like to roll up the edges of my flowers….cute and simple!

It seems rather silly to show you a picture of these little gems…but I think they are simply the best in having a quick "bling" and thank you Stampin' Up! for making them in all of the color collections – a no brainer as they match our paper – woot-woot!!!!

Are you wondering how or why I picked these colors? Easy…I created the color scheme from the liner I was going to use! I do this just about everyday to dictate the colors I will use! I have not used the I Am Me Desgner Series Paper for a long time and I thought it was a clean and fresh look!

Once again….easy! Just look at the coordinating colors that go with the paper and BAM…you are on your way to a great card! Using the Envelope Liner Framelit was another no brainer as it is again – another timesaver….

Are you starting to see the pattern here…having certain "key" products is the name of the game! I love what I do and I love making and sending cards…but if I did not have the "tools"…I would be totally frustrated!

 For some reason I loved the angle of this picture…this is a great example of how this clean and simple card came to life for me in a snap…because I had the right tools!

Think of it this way…if you are in the kitchen and following a recipe…you need to have the right ingredients and tools to make the yummy end result…it's the same with card making!

I started making cards as an "outlet" for myself in going to a monthly Stamp Club…I adored and looked forward to our monthly "play time" and I could hardly wait to come home and show John what I made!

I built up my inventory of "tools" well before I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and now looking back – I did it BACKWARDS! Please do not make the same mistake I made!

The majority of Demonstrators are hobbist and with the amazing opportunity for you to join for just $25.00…I have one question for you….

Why not?

I think we are all too hard on ourselves and we are scared that joining Stampin' Up! means you have an obligation…that you need to teach classes…that you have to have a blog….that you will have to go to meetings….that you will go in debt….ya-da-ya-da….

The answers are NO,NO,NO,NO,NO!!!

If you know that you are going to get product anyway, than why not get the product at a discount? Why not get it early? It really is a very win-win situation…you can start whenever you want and you can stop when ever you want…it's that simple!

So the moral of the story is for $25.00 – what do you have to loose?

Asbolutely nothing…please email me and I will be happy to talk with you and also, if you would like to talk with me and also my wonderful upline Mary Fish, we will gladly arrange a time for a call!

I am passionate about building my team and I would love for you to be on this fun…simple journey with me! If you're ready now….simply click here and just order whatever you want that is at least $25.00 but not over $26.95…it ships for free!

I love clean and simple cards but more importantly I am very passionate about showing YOU that YOU can do projects that are both fun and rewarding!

Until tomorrow!
