Good Sunday morning! I am so happy that I can share with you “my likes” to the posts I did on Thursday and Friday and the BEST part is…that (2) people are going to be doing the “HAPPY DANCE” because they are “winner – winner…chicken dinner”….I hope that you enjoyed looking at the catalog to get to know it better…this really is a fantastic catalog but it takes time to take it all in…
The best thing…and the thing that touched me was…
YOU ALL REALLY KNOW ME!
I loved reading your comments and for those of you that commented that the Pineapple was it…well…it was the 2nd so you all were soooooo close! Later on in the post I will comment quickly about the DSP…as I adore this…and it is my true blue….but I have a confession so please read on!
You will see in the parade of pictures I have for you that I made this card in 3 different ways….it felt SOOOOOOO good to get “inky” and I just adore this card so making it in 3 different ways is perfect for me as I will gladly put them to great use! Do you have a favorite?
You can see that it is a Vertical Card with the must have THICK Whisper White and then the DSP (love it) is 4″ X 5 1/4″ so you can get (6) of these cards from one sheet of Designer Series Paper, now that makes me super happy!
There is nothing more cleaner and classic than Navy and White! You know, it is always great to listen to your Mom…and my Mom always told me that you can never go wrong with a crisp white blouse and a Navy Blazer….well this paper, Floral Boutique is my classic!
Some of the cards I used the bakers twine and some I did not….just letting the marker make the dots! You cannot go wrong with any of them…I just wanted to share with you (3) different quick and easy ways to make the same basic cards with some minor changes!
The single stamp below, Stylized Birthday is a TOTAL keeper….to me, it is like the water color “thank you” from the last catalog…..a stamp that will be used over and over and never leave Randall Lane! Soooooo….here is the 1st winner! (click to make it larger)
Jeffie….WAY TO GO!!!! Please email me and I will send you this single stamp! I know that you are going to LOVE it and the ink will runuth over on it! ONE FABUOUS SINGLE STAMP!
The below card has all of the FUN elements in it that I love….a great DSP, a fabulous stamp….the square framelits to create instant interest with the scalloped border…bakers twine and the icing on the cake…the white pom-pom trim!
This card is a great example of how keeping things super clean, simple yet classic will work! We all know that we do not have a ton of “extra time” floating out there everyday so why not – this is a great way to make a handmade work of art!
Isn’t this the prettiest paper? Each and every side is a total keeper – this combo is one that you will want to order…the single stamp and this paper! I have a confession….THIS WAS AND STILL IS my favorite (well as of right now) but I was AMAZED that the DSP when you see it in person looks sooooo much better than in the catalog!!!
We need another winner…..way to go for all of the comments and I will say…when I read them I thought, nope! I do not like that one as well etc….but I actually spent the day yesterday working on product shares and let me tell you….this NEW DSP paper in the catalog is WONDERFUL! (click to make it larger)
Way to go…..Debra – please email me and I can hardly wait to send you this pack of paper so YOU can make some masterpieces of your own! I will say, Pop of Pink it right up there and I think that was my motivation in using the Melon Mambo for my accent color.
Quickly, this is fast and easy and I am going to do a post on the new layering framelits….let me sum it up – You NEED these layering squares!
Way to go Stampin’ Up! for making these for us. The ease of using framelits is a bonus for many that have storage issues – the way that I look at it is you are getting the best of both worlds – a straight edge square as well as a scallop square that works magic! Brilliant and very well thought out! 🙂
So thoughts….please leave me a comment and let me know which one you like….they are all super and easy….to me it just comes down to style, preference and time! DARN…there goes that word again, TIME sure does get the best of us!
Feel free to pin the below picture by hovering over it and save if for the future! Can you see on the envelopes that I also did (3) different ways to jazz them up…again, very simple yet creates an instant WOW to whoever is receiving it!
This was FUN..and I will do the same type of game later this week. Please make sure that you subscribe to my blog so you will not miss a dose of FUN and INSPIRATION….because guess what? – I believe in you!
Have a great day….it is a special one for me as my wonderful god daughter is graduating from high-school! I hope to see you back here tomorrow to see a parade of SWAP CARDS that many talented people did….you will LOVE them – I am so proud of you ALL!!!!
I have got to confess I have never been a Pom Pom person but my favorite is with the little white Pom Poms!!!!! That surprised me and made me smile!! Congrats to the two winners!!!!
First, congrats to Jeffie and Debra! Second, we love your cards! Our favorite is the one with the pom-poms. I’m so glad you’ve been having fun with the new products. Enjoy your day today!
Honestly every time I see one of your new cards I want to haul out my stuff and craft. It’s only 6 in the morning and I’m ready to CASE Thanks for the great ideas
I do love the one with the pom pos. Definitely a happy card, a keeper and one I’m going to make as soon as my paper comes this week!! Can’t wait. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration. I’ve told you before….your email is the first one I look at every day! Enjoy your Sunday!
Hi Susan, Thanks for the inspiration. I really like the square framelits. I am learning how to make the borders with them. Glad you are back from a wonderful trip.
Congrats Jeffie and Debra! All versions of this card are great but, like a few others, I think my fav is the pom-pom add on. Navy and white is so classy and clean. Glad you are back from your wonderful trip!
Congrats to Jeffie and Debra. I should have gone with my gut reaction and I might have won something but I talked myself into changing my answers. Stepping up a bit today are we? OK I like the last envelope the best but a combo of card 2 & 3. I like the dots around the border but I also like the double bow of the Night of Navy solid baker’s twine. I am not into the pom poms I guess on a card. Maybe a treat bag though would look good with them. I am happy you are back from a great trip and can’t wait to hear more or see photos. That truly had to be a trip of a lifetime!
Hi Susan, Yes, this is a great card and the colors!!! I knew it was that paper and stamp. I like the card with the pom poms and the twine. Congrats to your Goddaughter too.
I can’t wait to order mine. Maybe tomorrow. I’m swamped with other things, but hopefully I’ll be caught up a little and can stamp tomorrow.
🙂
Hey, Susan! Whoo Hoo! I won that gorgeous DSP!
Your cards are always such an inspiration and now I will have the paper to case this one. Of course, now I need to order the Happy Birthday and the twine and the pom pom trim. This free paper is going to cost me… LOL!
I will email my address to you.
Thanks so much!
