I sure bet that title "got" your attention…well that is what this card took – 5 minutes! I had a very busy day yesterday working on the Stamp of the Month kits and I thought…what am I going to show to you all today?
My inspiration came from a phone call from "peep" Hannah as she was doing her "Hi Mom" – how are you doing….and just hearing her voice and hearing about her classes at school I thought, she is a great young lady and I want to send her a card!
The other inspiration came from when I popped onto the Freshly Made Sketches Website and saw the below sketch – the lightbulb came on and BINGO….here you go!
Less is best….Black & White is clean and classic….and this stamp set is one you just simply need to have – so much that you need to click it and order it now! I adore it – I think that Stampin' Up! nailed it! The sentiments are fabulous, the font is fun – this is just one great stamp set and the name is great, Lovely Amazing You.
There is really not much to say but I would definitely CASE this card…this is a "Susan style card" and one that makes me happy!
- A-2 Whisper white with a 1/4 smaller piece
- The DSP of Back To Black Designer Series Paper made the classic pop!
- Taking the 2" circle punch, I simply popped a circle out and then place it over top of the base and drew a faint pencil line to use as a guide for perfect placement.
- My "go to" black ink it the Memento as it is a breeze to clean up and it always provides such a clean and crisp image…a simple stamp and then erase the pencil lines!
- I popped a heart form the Owl Builder punch in Strawberry Slush and green glued it….a simple yet effective touch! (it was not until I was putting my stamp back in the case did I see a single heart stamp in this set….Silly Susan!)
- The envelope was a breeze as well…. simple stamp….a simple piece of DSP on the back flap and trim away the excess….and DONE!
This is a great card layout and you know what….you could do this with any of the above sentiments. I adore this stamp set and I hope that you will add it to your stash as I know you would use it a bunch!
Do you know what also would make my heart happy?
For you to become a hobby demonstrator and have stampin' fun and be able to support your habit and get your "habit" at a discount everyday. It really just that easy!
I still can remember that I thought I would just get the kit….be able to place a huge order to get to the one time 30% off discount and then I would BE DONE…well that did not happen
I can say it probably did not happen because of the relationships that developed from the strong and supportive PALS team that Mary Fish has done such an amazing job in creating. We are a fun and inspiring group of people that love what we do, love to learn and love to have fun.
It would be a honor for you to join my team and be a PAL so….how about clicking here and get started. Please feel to email me if you have any questions….its so easy – please take a test drive and I know that your heart will be happy!
Brrrrrrrr – record cold in the East – stay warm and until tomorrow!
p.s. – my Dad LOVED his card…..he said he keeps shaking it up and down and laughs at it!
I will have to try a CASE of this card! I really like it! I have neither that stamp set nor that DSP, so I’ll have to go with some others, but I think I can, I think I can!
I think your tiny heart from the owl punch is a great touch; even better than the stamped heart would have been!
We are still waiting to hear about our move. I want to become a SU Demo, and a PAL! Eventually…meanwhile, I will keep buying product I can’t even get my hands on for 6 months (vacation in Aug. if nothing else more permanent before then).
I always love your posts! Thanks for sharing!
Stay warm with some
Cyberhugs!
This is adorable!!!

Sweet simplicity today Susan. This format would be so versitle. Thanks for the inspiration!
I absolutely love this 5-minute design. So wonderful and easily changed with different designer paper or… wait for it…. washi tape!
This is a cutie card ! I am getting ready to order that stamp set because I love love the feather and the envelope . I really like your circle cut out . It just makes this card !
Anxious to hear about your x-ray report . It has got to be encouraging because you have been such a good girl !
Susan, what a great card. I know Hannah will love it. I agree with Bridget, I love the heart punched from the Owl punch. It makes such a great WOW factor. I knew your Dad would love your great card from the Heard. With all of your animals that card is such a treat from you. I hope your foot is healing nicely. Good Luck with your X-Rays. This card is a real keeper. Stay warm. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
