This super easy layered card uses River Rock textured cardstock, Early Espresso ink and cardstock, and Whisper White cardstock. I thought the color in the Attic Boutique DSP palette contained So Saffron, but it is Daffodil Delight. If you were going with a plain cardstock to stamp the images on, I'd choose So Saffron. It's more...well, Subtle!

  At last, another card that uses current sets! This is a cute little package concept from the Simplicity blog and an easy, enchanting workshop make and take.Sometimes just letting the stamps be the stamps and the paper be the paper is the best course of action, eh?

Playing with more retired sets. Sorry! This one uses textured Neutrals white card stock for the base and Whisper White for the elevated layer. The oval "vase" is elevated with Dimensionals as well. This could be easily adapted for a make and take.Sorry it's blurry. Try to recreate it, you'll love it in hand!!!!

Another highly desirable retired set that I was able to snag in a trade! This is going to be an Easter card for my mother, my favorite stampin' pal. Just black ink and markers from the Soft Subtles family. I layered So Saffron and the softest pink markers to get the orangey little beaks. Cut out the chickies with an Exacto knife. Mounted on Pool Party cardstock.

It's the home stretch for Sale-a-bration 2012! Here's a simple card you can make with your free Everyday Enchantment decorative paper and a set from the Starter Kit. I used Crystal Effects atop the duckies and the cuckoo clock. You can't really see it in the photo but it is VERY attractive in hand.

I recently acquired this set in a trade and although it is retired, I could not be any happier to have it. I used my Color Coach to find Cajun Craze to pair with Pear Pizazz. "About You" is stamped in black on the inside. I've been really into cutting up images with an exacto-knife and just letting the stamps be the stamps. It's very therapeutic. Wish Stampin' Up! would renew its relationship with the craft knife.

At last, a chance to post some items. This uses the Tagtastic hostess set,  Bitty Box and Envelope Die, Color Spritzer tool and a few circle punches. Use Sticky Strip to assemble this one. Good demonstration project.
