Happy President’s Day everyone!  I hope you are one of the lucky one’s and get to have this day off.  I count my blessings and am glad I am out and about visiting family and appreciating life because today is the present and I have received it as a gift. =)

Today’s card is brought to you by Freshly Made Sketches #73.  It was designed by Ms. Jen B. and what a pretty sketch she gave to us to make our own.

 I have very seldom used the Doily and am so glad I pulled it out of my inventory.  It’s so pretty and delicate I don’t know why it makes me want to have a cup of tea… literally… LoL.  To make the butterfly pop a little and make it look like it is flying a cut up a small piece of Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it the in flight appearance.

A Twitterpated Sale-A-Bration

How much more simple can this cute little simple layout get?  I cut out this very pretty and delicate Paper Doily Sizzlit (125592) when the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper (DSP) was first announced and shown to us.  I just put it in my pile of “use it later” scraps and tonight I figured I should start using my scraps to make quick & easy cards.

The Old Olive button came from the Brights Designer Button (119747) and was added just to add a little simple dimension and depth to the lace.  I fell a few weeks behind on my birthday cards and decided I would show you how to quickly throw a simple card together that had little bits of bright colors.


I added a peak of the Pretty Petites Stamp Set (C129642/W129639) that you could earn for FREE with any $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  If you buy $100 worth then you can get the complete bundle, which includes the Petite Curly Label Punch (129405).  It comes with a total of EIGHT mini stamps, which if you think about it, translates to an additional EIGHT different cards.


A close up of the Paper Doily shows off it’s intricate cuts and fascinating twirls.

Blessings to you and thank you for stopping by.  Be on the lookout for more Blog Candy this month.  I’m fixin’ to clean out my stash of Stampin’ Up! paper.
