Wasn't the blog hop yesterday super fun! If you have not had the chance, I totally encourage you to go to my posting yesterday and then from there you can go from blog to blog to be inspired!
Today is the magical day of Christmas ideas (every Wednesday)… being that Christmas in now…..11 weeks away! Every Wednesday, I will inspire you (hopefully) with a fun card!
Today is a clean and classic one that will surely be a hit….not only is it super easy to mass produce, it does have the wow factor there as well!
Nothing is more classic than a bunch of Very Vanilla….it is always so elegant and stylish! This is an A-2 card but scored at the 5 1/2" mark! I like this look!
This card is very straight forward but if you need help…..please email me and I will be there! The center stage is the Festive Flurry and it comes in a bundle which makes it super fun as you will save 15% right off the bat!
On today's card I only used the framelits and I know….you are thinking that this is a very pricey collection but with not only the super-duper promotion of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for just $25.00 (just until October 21st) – you would be able to get this at an additional 30% off….I say WOOT-WOOT!
Did you notice the fun, clean and simple Embossing Folder? This is from the Holiday Catalog and it is one not to be missed! It is the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder! Embossing Folders are gems give you the best bang for your buck!
A quick and simple mat of the new In Color of Baked Brown Sugar does the trick! Don't you just love that name!?!? Remember, less is best and sometime just a POP of color in a minimal one is all that you need!
Have you been wondering where the sentiment came from? Well….it is from last year but it is carried over this year….please click here to see the products that ARE STILL AVAILABLE this year, they are simply not in the catalog….so if I do not show you…..you might miss them!
This set is called Greetings of the Season and has some beautiful fonts and sentiments!
I suggest that you stamp the sentiment 1st before you start the fru-fru….and stamp it very low on the card! It is so clean and classic in itself that all you need is this on the card ….look at it – there are no other stamps!
The liner for the envelope comes from the Season of Style Paper Stack….love , love it! Seriously, I would love it if Stampin' Up came out with more of these – just adore them!
The liner is easy- peasy with my main man, Mr. Big Shot and the Envelope Liner Framelit – a must have if you need a Santa gift….(I do gift certificates!!!!)
From the pictures you can see that 3 key elements of the card that help the WOW…POP and texture are the simple "dots", the Stampin' Dimensionals and the totally classic Basic Pearls Jewels – after all – who doesn't love pearls!
Again, less is best and this card will look great this year…..10 years from now and even later! You just simply cannot go wrong with the classics ( that's what my dear Mom always told me)
Please make sure if you did not leave a comment on yesterdays post…that you do so as you could win some super fun Blog Candy! I think it is cute and all you need to do is leave me a comment and on tomorrows post I will announce the lucky winner!
I am sure you have not forgotten….but we are in the middle of the most incredible opportunity for you! YOU can join SU for just $25.00 and you would not have to do one thing until the end of March but we both know that would not happen!
Click here and get started! You just need to make sure that your items total at least $25.00 but not more than $26.95 and then email me….and we will get the fun going!
Is it really just Wednesday? I feel like this week is creeping along….but then when I see that Christmas is just 11 weeks away….I say Oh no……stay on task! Pace yourself with your projects and always remember to enjoy the journey and not be overwhelmed!
Have a super day and until tomorrow…..
Very elegant Susan! Love those dots! Thanks for sharing!
Love this card!! Sp clean and classy!
Very Pretty and well done….Thank you
Roy, I love this one, Susan, must give it a try this week.
So true, so true, a classic. It looks like it could have come from the big, expensive, on line printing companies. Be careful before someone asks for a box of 50! Very corporate too. I like that the envelope liner colors match, and you didn’t go more Christmas-y. Have a great hump-day! 🙂
Hi Susan! I love this card! Simple elegance! The white is so dramatic and then— the polka dots (my favorite) on the envelope give it a bit of whimsy!
I want to thank you very much for choosing my card this week in the Pals Paper Challenge. I have been sick and when I turned on my computer and saw you picked my card, I was so excited! You certainly made my day or should I say, week! Thank you, Thank you! Claire
Beautiful, elegant, simple, and WOW factor! Looks like all the bases are covered. 🙂 THanks for sharing!
That is one super classy card my dear lassie! Sorry, I have been reading a Scottish mystery and couldn’t help myself! I could go on and on about how pretty and elegant your card is but then I still wouldn’t have time to check out the hop from yesterday. So, I will go on my merry way. But, I still am wondering how in the world do you keep coming up with these stellar cards?
Beautiful card, simple, elegant and classic. Thank you for the inspiration! Louisa
The white on white and the popped up die cuts are gorgeous and elegant! I am really, really wanting those dies! I like how your card almost feels like a square card with the Baked Brown Sugar mat under the image. Beautiful! And I agree with Chris R. from Iowa who asked how you keep coming up with such wonderful cards!
