STAMPIN' UP! SIMPLY ELEGANT

 This is such pretty paper to work with.  Very elegant!  The only thing I would change is the placement of the "For You"  I think it would have been better placed a little higher.

EMBOSSING FOLDER DESIGN

This embossing folder has been in my "collection" for a very long time.  It is from a Sizzix set that has this one and then three narrow dies to use as borders.  I had to trim this one down and once I did, I had a hard time deciding what color of card stock to use.  I chose a light blue card stock.  It's a very simple card but I think that it is a pretty design.

NOTE CARDS FOR A GARDENER

I saw a set of four square cards using the dsp and die cut vegetables.  I prefer not to send or make square cards so I made mine with the bookbinder layout.  I think these would make a fun gift to someone who really loves gardening.  The "vegetable" paper is from Storybook Moments dsp collection.  The vegetables are from the coordinating stamp and die set "Storybook Garden Patch".  The dsp on the binder portion of the card is from "Timeless Plaid".

After watching Rita Holmes video this past Tuesday, this is the card I made using her layout.  Her cards were very pretty using the Sunflower paper from Stampin' Up!  I am going to try very hard to not add that to my hoard.  There is a new set of dies with an Arch shape very much like this.  I simply used one of the dies from a set that has multiple sizes but only cut a portion of it.  Same look without having to buy another expensive set of dies.

SIMPLY ELEGANT DSP FROM STAMP' UP!

On Pinterest I saw a card by "Stampin With Shirley G" using this dsp.  I used the same layout and same papers for the card base.  But I fussy cut flowers from another sheet in that collection and made my own focal point.  The "Happy Aniversary" was made with Taylored Expressions stamp and die set.

FANCY FOLD

I'm sorry to say I didn't make a note as to where I saw this fold.  I thought I had seen it on YouTube but when I checked my "history" there, I didn't find it.  When closed, the "Happy Birthday" piece covers the leaf.

Very easy to make. 

Thank you for coming by today.

While I had the paper out from the card I posted yesterday, I made the card above and the one below.    I really like the format of the first one and this paper worked really well for it.
