Today's post is another super quick post but you will see that some added touches gave this clean and simple card a bit of a different twist from yesterday! As I shared yesterday, this is a super affordable card.
I have a confession, I do purchase Washi Tape and then I totally forget about using it….sound familiar? Today I took a piece of scrap white and added 3 pieces of washi and then used the negative part from my cut of tree and PRESTO!
I shared with you yesterday that I would give you the dimensions if you wanted to make this fun card! Remember to check out the End of Year Sale as the Merry Moments DSP stack and the real red envelope paper are on sale! (There are a bunch of keepers in there)
- The base is a vertical note-card, 3 1/2" X 5" from the thick Whisper White Card Stick
- The DSP Plaid is 3" X 4 1/2" (YEP, you can get (2) cards from a sheet of paper) and then the extras – perfect for tags or 3 x 3 cards! If you choose to mat it like I did today, it is just a "smidge larger", 3 1/8" X 4 5/8"
- The Mossy Meadow is 2 1/4" X 3 1/4" and then I used the smallest tree from the Peaceful Pines Bundle to cut it out. Again, just add 1/8" if you want to mat it and either leave it plain or add the washi tape. (I like the washi tape!)
- Scraps again to the rescue….just stamp the sentiment and the use the word window to give a quick POP out and then do the same in red, cut it in half….adhere it – a weenie bit of a dimensional and PRESTO – DONE!
With this being such a busy time of the year, I think that this is a super sweet card to make up and have on hand with the thank yous around the corner. I adore this paper stack and I agree with Sharon's comment from yesterday, this is a great stack and we are sorry to see it leave. I say….if you adore these plaids and polka dots that are the focus to this stack, than I say GO FOR IT….it is on sale!
Do you have a favorite…??? I hope that showing you these 2 day posts help you to see that there are many ways to make clean and simple cards!
Please feel free to leave me a comment and do not forget that tomorrow will be the last day for you to take advantage of the weekly deals – the precision plate is a must have and why not when it is on sale for 25 % off!
Please do not hesitate to have a family or friend get in touch with me if they would like to purchase for you a gift certificate! With the new catalog around the corner, you will love it! I am an email away!
See you tomorrow…it is the new (and some old) PRODUCT SHARE TIME!

Well…were you taken back by the title of this post? I was hoping to get you attention! I totally realize that the hour glass has turn and I am winding down my Christmas inspiration but then at the same time….it is the HOLIDAYS so why not!
Today I am showing you how to use the "negative" of a die cut…and simply make it work!
This is a super sweet note-card size but can you see that I cut my own paper to the vertical and then used the envelopes for todays card….WHY????? I used the ones that come with the Note-cards and envelopes to send to customers with a super cute card with their new catalog….(I am going to share that with you on Tuesday)
This is my kind of card and one that is SUPER affordable! I hope that you will pop back tomorrow and see some minor and simple changes that make a difference (if you want to because I think that this card is just fine!)
Enjoy the parade of pictures and I hope to see you back tomorrow as I will share with you all of the dimensions. Making a clean card is oh…..so doable…oh so simple…oh so fun!
By now you know my style that works for me…and trust me, this is a card that you can whip up a BUNCH in no time and you will smile – that is always the icing on the cake…each and every time!
Tomorrow we will see "side by side" and then you can decide if being "negative" works for you! Until tomorrow!

Hello and happy Friday to all….today's post is a one that is special….for many reasons! I am super excited to share with you a "sneak peek" from the new upcoming catalog!
This bundle is one that I knew would make it to Randall Lane as I can see the versatility and practicality of this bundle…I just love bundles as remember, you will get an instant 15% off!
The other reason that today's post is super special is…..I NEED YOUR HELP! We all know the power of cards…the power of inspiration and the power of believing…and I had a downline reach out to me and tell me something wonderful…something super special….something very rare in todays times….
Kathy's parents are getting ready to celebrate their 75th Wedding Anniversary. Is that amazing….is that beautiful! They are together in a home….one in one area the other in rehab. Last year Kathy made them advent boxes for them to open up daily and it was a treat, a joy, a "look forward to" moment each and everyday!
Kathy and I totally realize that this is a super busy time of the year for all of us but at the same time I think that all of us realize that a 75th Wedding Anniversary is so incredibly special and rare….so if you can, please send this special couple a card of joy, love, inspiration etc….
I knew immediately what I was going to do and I think that it "fits the occasion" perfectly! The only thing that I wish is that I would be able to be there for them on this special day and sit and ask them about "what is their advice on love and life" This is sooooooo special!
At the end of the post I will share with you an address to send a card to if you can. I am sure the "newlyweds" would love to feel our love from all over! This is what I LOVE about this special thing we do….I have received many cards for my friend that is battling cancer and wow – it totally touches my heart!
I brought together the NEW kid on the block, the Number of Years Bundle and then the fabulous Peaceful Wreath Stamp Set. I am sad that it is being retired as it is soooooo classic.and the sentiments are "spot on" as well!
When you go to create something, look at what you have and see how you can make them into "Peanut Butter and Jelly"…a great classic that always works! I did use the vanilla coaster board to help lift up the numbers but this bundle is super special with all of the little "extras" – it can be used for soooo many occasions!
I used a different base than I usually do. Today I used the shimmer white card stock. When I googled the colors for a 75th anniversary it said, a shimmering white! Jeanie has been singing the praises of this paper as you can water color with it so I thought, WHY NOT give it a try! (Jeanie is always "spot on")
The aqua painter went to town and the colors that I used were Pear Pizzzz, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Soft Suede. The more that you try this…the better you will get! There really is no right or wrong way….it always seems to work out and the best thing – you will smile and be proud!
See the liner, yep~ it's there again, the real red envelope paper that is one the Year End Sale….make sure that you go over and have fun, click here to see my post yesterday of my picks! – there are some amazing deals in their…..I've clicked away….how about you!?!?
GUESS WHAT IS IN THERE….
that was not in there yesterday when I blogged about the sale????

this is one product that I think we were all SHOCKED is on the retired list!
Enjoy the day, pace yourself for the season and just do what you can do! I am an email away if I can help you and I truly appreciate your support to this fun Stampin' Up! joy that I am a part of!
Here is the address to make this special couples day even more special! (We all know that they will be the HIT for the day)
In advance, many thanks if you can slip a card in the mail! Until tomorrow!
