For this card, I took one of the 4x6 memory cards and cut it down to a 5/12 x 3 1/4. I then used the Come Sail Away DSP and just cut strips big enough to show on top and bottom. I adhered them to the base using Snail. I cut two 6" pieces of the Night of Nave/Sahara Sand bakers twine and made a sailors know, threading a Sail Away Trinket Anchor in the middle, and snailed them on the back of the cut down 4x6 card. Next, I used dimensionals to affix the card front to the card base. I found two stickers from the card pack that I really liked for the sentiment, the green anchor and the "Here's to making every moment count statement.

I can't wait to make this stamp set a hit! I literally got a tear in my eye when I read the sentiments.

Want to make cards but don't like stamping? Have room to store stamp sets and ink pads? This might be a good solution for you! I took the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Card pack and some card stock and made 6 cards in a matter of minutes. It was fun and easy! Most importantly, I lets you use up excess cards from the kits that you didn't need for your memory keeping pages.

Stampin' Up! created this wonderful new suite that is centered on crafting. I thought it would only be right to use my newest shipment box as my backdrop. Just in case you go looking for the Blushing Bride background, I made that myself using thin washi tape and sponge daubers. All the rest of this card is from the It Starts With Art Suite. This suite has the It Starts With Art Stamp Set, Arts and Crafts Dies, Follow Your Art DSP, Button Button Embossing Folders, Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit, Mini Shipping Boxes. Once it's released, the suite has an order it all item number or you can just order what you want at the moment. 

This card was CASEd for a Catalog Swap as well. I changed it from a belly band to an actual card. I did use the Sailing Home Bundle on it as well.

I have seen tons of cards using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits, and all have been beautiful. But, I hadn't seen any using Designer Series Papers. I decided to give it a go, and this is what I came up with!

The Butterfly Duet Punch is perfect with the Botanical Butterfly DSP. You can leave the butterflies plain, or watercolor them with Watercolor Pencils. Add the background stamps from the Beauty Abounds stamp set, and it's a match made in heaven!
