Today I want to show you how easy a few card techniques can be used to make a very pretty Stampin’ Up! card!
First I took a piece of Crumb Cake card stock as my base.
Next I took a piece of Crumb Cake ( 1/4′ smaller by length and width of the base) and stamped, in Early Expresso ink, the words “Thank You Kindly” from the Hanging Garden stamp set.
NEXT –magic with the Subtles Embossing Folder!I ( one of MY NEW FAVORITES!)
Take a look at the ‘subtle’ yet textured look of that layer.
Can you see the fine lines? Makes me think of fine wale corduroy.
Next I took a piece of Soft Suede card stock and used the Layering Squares Framelits, with my Big Shot, cut 3 squares.
Then I took a piece of the Frosted Floral DSP ( LOVE the colors and the fine shimmer!!!) and made 3 smaller squares.
Of course I used Snail to adhere all 3 pieces of DSP to the card stock.
Then I arranged the squares on the embossed layer.
To add just a bit of interest, I used 3 enamel shapes in the lower right hand corner.
There you have it…3 easy techniques:
1. Using the Subtles Embossing Folder
2. Using the Layering Squares Framelits
3. Adding a few embellishments.
Three simple ways to make a card –make it YOUR own and send it with love!
You could make a boxed set of these for a gift!

What fun we had last Monday making a few Christmas tags.
Talk about easy, fast and FUN!
We used the Stampin’ Up! stamp set, Signs of Santa.
The elves are adorable so after we stamped them with Staz-ON ink, we colored them using the Many Marvelous Markers.
Cute cute CUTE!
Of course I had to use Wink of Stella for a bit of pop!
The base of the tag was a piece of Poppy Parade and Garden Green cards stock. I cut them to 4″ x 2″.
To make the cut out for the ribbon, I used the Scalloped Tag Topper punch.
Then I used the Tags & Tidings stamp set with the Christmas Tag Thinlits. This allowed me to have a LOT of options for the little tag at the top.
There are 16 images on that stamp. I inked it up with Memento ink -then cut them out with the matching Christmas Tag Thinlit.
It was EASY and fast!
A little piece of the Santa’s Workshop Specialty DSP layerd on top of the card stock…. then popped the little elf ( and Mrs. Claus) on with a Dimensional.
Next I used a few Red Rhinestone Jewels to give a bit of sparkle…
About 12″ of Garden Green and White Baker’s Twine to use as ties and voila!
I just think they are adorable and certainly will add a bit of festive pizzazz to any package!
What do YOU think?
We’ll be making more cute tags as the days approach!
