Simple cards can be hard to make. We have so many ideas and so many embellishments we want to use and then we tend to go overboard.
I do love a sweet and simple card though and this one satisfies the simple me.
I used the envelope board punch to round two corners. This gives it an elegant look without being stuffy. The curves give it a touch of whimsy and the foil paper gives it some shine.
You may have missed the Fabulous Foil Designer Paper in the catalog. Check it out on page 194. The acetate has gold on one side and silver on the other. I love to layer it with unexpected colors.
What are you doing this Christmas? We will be going to Denver to visit family. I can’t wait!
Joyful Holiday Wishes To You and Your Family

Stampin’ Up demonstrators have had the joy of using the new Blends markers for the last month. I’m sure you have seen many examples on Pinterest. The Blends are so easy to use; you will be amazed at your new found coloring skills. The Blends give a smooth uniform color on your very first try. Start with one shade of color and add layers of color as desired. When you use one color it is beautiful, add the second layer and you add depth, dimension, and texture.
Markers are sold as single markers or as a combo pack for each color. If you don’t want to enter all of those product codes, you can enter one (147475) to get all of them at once:
I am still practicing but so far I am happy with my results. You can check out my Roses here. I love the yellow one the best!
Here is a note card I created using the Color Me Happy stamp set:
I used the words from Artistically Asian and gold embossed them for a little bling. The tassel is Mini Tassels Assortment.
I loved the way this friendship card turned out. I need to try it in other color combos.
Thanks for stopping by today. Contact me today to order your new Blends!
