Good Morning to you! This is a FUN color palette for us to work with this week for the Pals Paper Art challenge! Hop on over to the site to see what the other designers came up with and then pull out your supplies and go to town to create a work of art! You know that you will have fun….here are the colors to play with!

I have been having a great time sharing with you different ways to give "gift cards" – this to me is just plain FUN!!!! Even if you did not want to put a gift card in, you could easily tuck in a special note or a "IOU" for something fun to do with the recipient!

The mat of Crumb Cake, (just a smidge smaller) was scored with the scoring tool…..this looks super rich in this color of paper! I know that it is hard to see in the photo but on the vertical sides I did 3 scores and the long ends I just did one score line.

For those of you that have not experienced our dies, the main thing that I adore that the finished product is already scored…it comes complete with the banner that I placed the sentiment on plus the little "postage area" – Stampin' Up! does a great job in these dies and trust me, you will use this one a bunch!

You know that I adore the sentiment words and this one is perfect for the season! Green Glue is the perfect adhesive for adhering!

I like to mat the envelope with a POP of color as I think it sets it off and you can see in this picture that I wrapped up the silver cording twice as I think it is a perfect finishing touch! (remember, this cording in both the gold and silver…I am sad – I adore it)

After I have my cording just as I want it – I them adhere this to the mat and then POPPED it up with Stampin' Dimensional

The finale….the lined envelope in the Red Envelope paper…darn, I am going to miss that when it leaves – stock up on it!!!

Can you see yourself using this die? I think that it is super fun and remember to think out of the box to use it in other ways! This size is a perfect one to make and tuck a note in when you give someone a handmade goodie, (like some cookies or bread) – it is so easy , just a crank thru Mr. Big Shot – adhere, done!

I have shared with you that I used to not be a fan of Gift Cards….but now, I am a huge fan of them….WHY?  = Easy……you can get what you want and more importantly….you can spend more time with family and friends and not be stressed with fighting the lines of the store!

I hope that this post has made you smile and I hope that you will hit that SHOP NOW button and snatch up this great die! If you want to just click below in the scrolling  store you can see a larger, more detailed description of the product!

I am super excited to be able to order from the new catalog today….one of the BEST perks in being a SUD….you should consider getting the starter kit and fill it with NEWBIES from the catalog…..get $125.00 for just $99.00 and it ships for free!

It simply does not get any easier than that…..no strings….just fun newbies! – Email me if you have questions! Have a fabulous day and go make someone smile!
