A Quick and Easy Card to show :)

OK, so I didn't take pictures of making this card, only because its pretty simple! Now don't think because its simple that it lacks any fun and beauty! AND, as long as you have a set of Christmas Stamps that have at least 1 icon (because you can even pull it off with repeating the same icon 3 times!!!) you can recreate this card! It was very, very easy!!! Here is what the card looks like:

-1 piece of white card stock that's 4 1/4 by 11
-1 piece of patterned patter that is 4 by 5 1/4 (mine is fromMy Minds Eye "Be Merry" 6 X 6 paper stack)
-1- piece of matching patterned paper that is 1 1/2 X 5 1/4 (My Minds Eye "Be Merry" 6 X 6 paper stack)
-Coordinating Inks (mine of coarse are from Stampin Up-Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Real Red)
-Embossing power that is matched to your paper (I used Wild Wasabi from Stampin Up)
-Holiday stamps with icons (mine are from a retired set from Stampin Up)
-Square Punch
-Scissors (to finish cutting the rest of the white paper showing on icons)
-White Gel Pen

Not much too it! I really made this card in about 15 minutes!

Ok, thats all for now folks :)

The Earth Laughs In Flowers Card

Yea!!! My first card I made using items that I got from my Stampin' Up order yesterday! Its ALL items from the summer mini!!! Its stamp sets Flower Fest and Fabulous Florets. The card stock is Whisper White, Wild Wasabi, and Tangerine Tango Designer Series Paper. The ink I used is Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasibi. I used Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder and Framed Tulips Embossing Folder. You will also need: Sponge Daubers, Stampin' Dimensionals, and Snail Adhesive.

Now, I made a VERY sad attempt at making a tutorial for this card. Look for a link for You Tube to pop up hopefully in the next half hour!
