Bring some “Sunshine” to someone….

Clean…Crisp….FUN! This is my kind of card that I love to make! Super simple and can easily be duplicated for many different themes by just changing out the sentiment or stamp! All of these items used came form the New Spring Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration promotion! Now…..my fingers are crossed that Stampin' Up will come out with a hexagon punch but until then my paper snips were the key to snippin' away to make the insides of the Honeycomb Embossing Folder. A great card to utilize scraps!
I just mentioned Paper Snips – we all have favorites – and these little gems are truly my favorites and I literally get my "feathers ruffled" when I can not find them! Truth be told – I have a "spare" tucked away so no one in my family can get them! I often hear…."Where are those little black sharp scissors?" These are hands down the best crafting scissors you will ever own – makes cutting even the smallest of details a super simple SNIP!!!
As always, you can see I pulled the lining of my envelope to a focal part to my card! I just love having both my card and envelope blend together to create a perfect theme! This designer paper was FREE from part of the Sale-a Bration promo going on right now…love the name of this paper – Sycamore Street. The colors are luscious and it pulls together colors that I usually do not go to but when you see them blended together out comes that simple WOW factor!
The sentiments in this Feels Good Stamp Set are terrific! I never was a fan of sentiments until I listened and took the advice from my amazing upline, Mary Fish. She once told me when in doubt between a stamp set of images or a sentiment – go with the sentiment! It took my a while to "get that" but I do believe that as the sentiment is the focal part to your card and the simplicity of your paper and design will make it all pop and come together!
There is nothing wrong with simple, clean lines! You can do cards like this over and over again and you simply cannot go wrong! Stampin' Up has so many new embossing folders and this one, the Honeycomb, creates a clean-deep image that adds a dimension unlike any of their other embossing folders!
I was asked yesterday, why do you love making cards and crafts so much…BAM – easy answer…it allows me to have time for myself to make not only others happy but I find it so incredible rewarding for me personally! I am not a fussy – frilly card maker….I just know what I like and I know what I do not like! It has to be simple, clean and fun! Trust me – if I can do it ….YOU CAN DO IT!
Being a Stampin' Up Demonstator has been a big blessing to me as I truly only do it for myself! I am a hoppbyist at heart and love to have a HUGE family of super creative demonstrators to be inspired by! After owning just about everything in the catalog I decided to become a demonstrator to be able to support my habit and with the Sale-a Bration going on…now is the GOLDEN time to become a demonstrator…for $99.00 – you will be able to pick $156.50 worth of ANY product and that is it!!!! No strings attached and the majority of Demonstrators are hobbyist (and truly many of them never tell anyone that they are) ….just to be able to order great products at a discounted price!
Please contact me if you would like to hear how I have created a "starter kit" for the person that does not have any Stampin' Up products…I have been able to pull together $156.50 worth of my favorite and practical products that you can get started with! We all know that there are many more goodies that we would like….and the best part is – YOU can do it at a discount! I would love to have you join me and The Pals Group that the wonderful Mary Fish has built up! What an amazing group of men and women that are super creative and super fun!
