Lacey & Lovely Take 2! Founder’s SWAP

Alright, time to share my SWAP for Founder's Circle featuring Lacey & Lovely that I talked about in this post : )

This stamp set SERIOUSLY makes simple stamping SO EASY! I've found it's actually harder to make a stepped up card than a simple card with it. Go figure!

Now to go make 120 of them….! Good thing the focus is simple – I might actually have a shot at finishing them!

SUPPLIES USED: Lacey & Lovely Stamp Set, Raspberry Ripple Cardstock & Ink, Wild Wasabi Cardstock & Ink, Pumpkin Pie Ink, Jet Black StazOn Ink, Whisper White Cardstock, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Pierce Mat, Paper Piercing Tool, Stampin' Dimensionals and Brights Glimmer Brads.

This Stamp Set is the stamp set of the month for The Stamp Subscription – so you can get this stamp set shipped direct to you with 2 cards to go along with it! CLICK HERE for more details. Just a few days left to get in on this month's and this set!

Such an awesome company!

A couple of months ago I received this order in the mail…. and was delighted by and reminded of what a wonderful company Stampin' Up! is! Their staff seriously cares, and always goes the extra mile. When I opened up the order, this was on top!

It was this cute little hand stamped note:

So sweet! I'm SO glad to be a part of such an awesome company…. and count my blessings for it every day!
 

Another Simple Set!

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you my Woodland Thanks set of simple cards… today I'm going to share another batch! These are the same Notecards that you can purchase already folded with envelopes – they just work wonders for quick and easy! But they can't do it alone… our Designer Paper is a must in order to add interest to the card but still have simplicity. Then I tied some ribbon around and on goes an image – easy peasy!

Now THAT'S the kind of stamping I'm taking about for the "Mom on the Go!" If you're anything like me and think that you just don't have time to put together some cards… Think again! Buy these items and you're good to go!

Here's a peak at these Note Cards… Priced at just $5.95!

These pre-scored cards make creating unique cards a breeze! Each card is scored for easy folding, and the packet comes with 20 cards and matching envelopes.

- 5" x 3-1/2" card (folded)
- 5-1/8" x 3-5/8" envelope
- Whisper White high quality cardstock
- Exclusive Stampin’ Up! envelope flap design

Paired with some Designer Paper I've made some of the quickest cards in my history of stamping…. yet so darn cute!

Designer Flowers of Thanks

This card was actually a card that I had made a while back that inspired my August Card Kit of the Month (available for just 10 more days!). I thought I would still share it with you, even though it's so similar, so you can see a different take on color, accessories and sentiments.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• Black is a wonderfully rich, vibrant, neutral color that I think we take for granted all to often. We're so quick to stamp our outlines and greetings in black, but I think rarely do we pull the black into different areas of our card to accent with embellishments in cardstock. This card is a wonderful example of how far black can take a card – doesn't it just make things pop off the page!?
• I'm in a rut with these Flower Brads! And it's not a BAD thing – but I just can't stop sticking them on top of this stem image from the "For Everything" stamp set. I just love the look!
• Have you given our new Patterns Paper Stacks a try yet? If not, you should! They are a fantastic assortment – a girl doesn't need much more than her Polka Dots and Stripes! And to have them in EVERY color for an entire collection? Oh yea! That's what I'm taking about!!! Shown here in Razzleberry and Turquoise.
• Both the Designer Paper and Flower Brads featured on this card are available in my NEW PRODUCT SHARES only available for 5 more days!!! Click Here for more information on ordering!

Woodland Newsprint

I'm in love with this new stamp set, Growing Green. It's fabulous for watercoloring! I paired it with one of our newest designer series papers, Newsprint, to give it a different look!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• To achieve the watercolored look shown here, load your Rich Razzleberry ink into an Aqua Painter and color 1 petal at a time, allowing it to run out before reloading – that way, each of your colors are a different tone! For best results, use Watercolor Paper.
• The sentiment "Thanks so much" is from a stamp set in the Summer Mini Catalog called "Watercolor Trio". My reason for loving it? Because all of the sentiments in the set (3 total) fit PERFECTLY in the Designer Label Punch/Hodgepodge Hardware accent!
• Vintage Brads are a DELICIOUS new accessory, I used one here on the right hand side of the Designer Label Hodgepodge Hardware piece. Order the full pack or get a sampling as part of my New Accessory Share – click here for details! You'll also find a share that includes this lucious 1 1/4" Striped Black Grosgrain Ribbon shown here.

WHAT TO ORDER:

Watercolor Trio Stamp Set (Wood – 117050, Clear – 120084), Growing Green Stamp Set (Wood – 118758, Clear – 120624), Rich Razzleberry Cardstock (115316), Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink (115658), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Basic Black Cardstock (121045), Basic Black 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon (115615 – share also available), Watercolor Paper (105019), Crumb Cake Cardstock (120953), Newsprint Designer Series Paper (117166 – share also available), Antique Brads (117273 – share also available), Neutrals Brads (119736 – share also available), Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware (111325), Basic Pearls (119247), Linen Thread (104199), Designer Label Punch (119862), Photo Corner Punch (119878) and Aqua Painters (103954)
