Who knew such a pretty card could be this easy? I used the Beauty Abounds stamp set and the Pretty Label Punch. A small linen thread bow finished off the card perfectly!
I used my Stampin’ Blends to add some color.
- Sahara Sand – 8 ½” x 5 ½”, score at 4 ¼”
- Crumb Cake – 3 ¾” x 5″
- Very Vanilla – 4″ x 5 ¼” and 3 ½” x 4 ¾”
- Linen Thread – small bow
Are you ready to create this elegant friendship card? I hope so! To order the supplies I used, just click a pic! I would LOVE to be your Stampin’ Up demonstrator!

I thought it would be fun to share a Creative Juice sketch along with today’s video. I was having a rough mojo day. Ever have one of those? I just couldn’t seem to find inspiration. That’s what I love most about Creative Juice sketches. Instantly I feel like I can create anything just by looking at a sketch.
If you love Creative Juice Sketches, I have a NEW tutorial collection for you. It’s a great way to have all that inspiration in one place.
The Creative Juice Volume 2 collection contains:
- (25) different sketches shown 4 different ways
- (3) photos of cards I created with each sketch
- Measurements for the cards
- Supply list for the cards
It’s going to be a GREAT week! My very best friend, Brenda, flew in from Idaho yesterday to spend the week with me. Yay!!! We don’t get to see each other as often as we would like so we’re going to squeeze in as much chaos and fun as we can for the next 5 days.
There WILL be stamping going while Brenda is here so I hope to have some wonderful creations to share with you in March.
Ginny’s high school production of “Beauty & the Beast” opens today and we are all super excited to see her shine as “Belle“. She will be amazing, I have no doubt. I asked her to get a picture of her in the the yellow ballgown but they got so busy, it didn’t happen. I will try to get a photo today and post on Saturday. She looks gorgeous in it! Due to copyright, I can’t video anything though. Boo. I wish you could hear her sing.
Rehearsals for “Noises Off” start today for Christina and I (Ginny will catch up next week). The first rehearsal is always my favorite! I know most of the cast but there are a couple new faces. Shows like this are like a family and that will definitely be the case for this show. We all have to work in-sync for everything to work correctly. Noises Off is a farce and that means that comic timing has to be perfect. It’s going to be a lot of work but I have no doubt it will be a show this theatre will be proud of.
Thank you so much for joining me today! Did you enjoy the card? What did you think of the colors? I loved those Daffodil Delight flowers. They were just perfect with the Sahara Sand cardstock.
As always, I appreciate you being here with me today and your sweet comments are always a nice treat. Thank you all for watching! See you all on Saturday for a new Simple Stamping video.

Cannot say enough about your tips & videos. I have learned so much from you & am now going back watching older ones. I like how you are right to the point & so cheerful in your videos. You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing so many wonderful ideas.
Awwww….you made my day Sherry! Thanks so much for those sweet compliments. Have a fabulous day!!
I enjoyed the video very much and think the card is really pretty. I love the way you decorated the envelope, too.
This was the first time I ever watched one of your videos and I have a question. Are you related to another Stampin Up demonstrator who has a YouTube channel? You remind me of someone else that I watch.
Thanks for watching Denise! No, not related to another demonstrator.
