Do you ever find yourself in need of a card with not much time to make one? Here is a simple layout that can be using in a variety of colors for a variety of occasions. These cards are from a class that I did last month.
This card is made using the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper layered onto Pear Pizazz and Whisper White card stock on a Pool Party card base. Happy Birthday was stamped in Night of Navy ink. A little stamping with Pool Party ink and a small flower adds to the sentiment on the card front and makes the envelope coordinate nicely. A pretty bow in Pool Party Bakers Twine finishes it off.
This card is made using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper layered onto Old Olive and Whisper White card stock on a Daffodil Delight card base. The 5/8" burlap ribbon goes great with the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and the 1/4" old olive ribbon brings it all together. The small flower from the Daisy Delight stamp set stamped in Daffodil Delight makes the set.
While we hope we never need a sympathy card, we occasionally do. This card is made using the Stampin' Up! Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper layered onto Pool Party and Whisper White card stock on a Wisteria Wonder card base. A sentiment in Night of Navy ink and some Pool Party flowers on the envelope finishes off our stamping and the pool party ribbon gives our card a finished look.
I encourage you to give these a try. Any of the items used in these cards can be purchased from my online store 24/7. You can of course always contact me for any assistance you may need. Keep an eye out for more classes coming up, I hold several a week at my home for those who can attend and offer a "to-go kit" for those unable to attend.
Did you know that Stampin' Up! has a partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities around the country?
Each year they have a stamp set dedicated to this cause. For each one of these stamp sets sold, Stampin' Up! makes a donation to RMHC.
The set that was released with the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is called Sharing Sweet Thoughts.
This cute set can make a sweet and simple card with some simple layers and just a little bit of stamping and coloring. (Don't forget to add a little something to the envelope to coordinate – those little extra touches help alot!)
You can step this card up by adding some of the Stampin' Up Window Sheet acetate over the jar making it look like actual glass. Add a little gold trim to the jar lid and some ribbons across the bottom for an adorable "stepped up" card.
If you like the textured look – the Ruffled Dynamic textured impressions embossing folder has been used on the Real Red layer of this card. Again, the Stampin' Up! Window Sheet acetate gives the jar a glass look. This time the jar was "left open" giving those ladybugs a way out. Some linen thread and black bakers twine add even more texture.
I copied /tweaked those cards from designs I saw on Pinterest!
A change in color and orientation, add a few layers and you get a whole new stepped up look!
— this is where we add the pic of the director you met and tell about the card(s) you gave her —
This picture is at our NEW RMH in Springfield, Massachusetts. Betty Saccoccia is with Skochii, the Director of the House. We gave Skochii those cards to show her how fun and easy they are to make –and of COURSE using the RMHC stamp set!
