When I designed this set - I wanted something that would make for quick and easy cards. Something that you can reach for time & again to create unique, yet beautiful cards. 

Here is my first card. The sentiment looks like money to me! Ha! That is why I stamped it in pine green!

 

A scrap of designer paper and a dressed up ribbon pair so nice with this sentiment. The possibilities are endless, don't you think? Kids may actually want to make their own cards! No fuss!

The small elements can combine for some simple cards! The fleur de lis is my daughter's favorite!  Pair it with Merci for a card that is très chic!


Sometimes you just need a card with no sentiment. The elements in this set allow your to combine pretty things to create classy cards!



Spice up your holiday gifts with a little Celebration Diva! This wine topper was simple to make and the Diva makes it perfect for that holiday party or New Years Eve celebration gift!


This clean and simple card is just the right thing to give for an anniversary!  Let's Celebrate sentiment paired with the adorable bottle with the heart...that will remind that special someone during the hustle and bustle of the season that you have to make some *couple* time!  Date night here we come!



I love the excitement and promise that the new year brings! Maybe a friend had a rough 2013 and needs a special note to know that you will be there for them in the coming year! The streamers and sentiment are from Celebration Diva and the 2014 is from Lots of Dots Alphabet!

I have a LOT to share! I'm starting off with Elegant Flourishes by Cammie!

This monochromatic card is so elegant! It's hard to see the 3 black gems next to the sentiment. Sentiment is from Lots of Lines


 This second card uses the same set, plus the sentiment from Lots of Thanks! Kraft ink on kraft paper. Some copper gems give it some pop!



This color combo was unusual, but I wanted to try it! Honey Mustard, Black and Red Hot!  Sentiment is from Lots of Thanks.

Next I will share the Stamper's Favorites set by Melanie. I used the feather from her set with Honey Mustard ink, colored in a bit with copics. The background is stamped with Lots of Dots in versamark.



This white on kraft card was super simple, but the white gives the details of that beautiful feather. Sentiment is in chocolate. White strip is dry embossed with swiss dots.


The leaves from the set were stamped and colored with copics, and then some Prima flowers were added. Sentiment is from Lots of Thanks.
 


I call this faux stained glass. I stamped the butterfly in black, then colored it in with random copic markers to mirror the strip of designer paper.

I am starting by showing Becky's adorable It's The Little Things setThe first card is a 4.25 square card which I stamped with circles from Lots of Lines and small circles from Lots of Thanks. I stamped the sentiment and hedgehog from Becky's set in black in. Super simple!


 If you have not heard the "What does the fox say?" song yet, you have probably been hiding under a rock (next to the fox).  This is just a fun card - sentiment is typed on computer

This is a card for my friend who had a baby girl last month!  The elephant is so fun to color in.  


Theresa's Vertical Greetings combines some pretty images with some fun sentiments. I used the leaf bunch with a sentiment from Lots of Thanks to make this simple card. 


This is a card I created using copics in various hues of blue. I stamped the poppies in white and colored in the edges with blue.



I have been seeing these crazy angle layer cards all over pinterest. Here is my version using Theresa's sentiment & dragonfly, along with dots from Lots of Dots.

I tried to keep it simple with this set - to allow for some clean & simple card designs! I was on a pink/black kick!

I had a ton of punched out stars from Karen's birthday cards, so I stamped the star from Lots of Lines in pink on the scrapped star. I used the "I love it!" sentiment from Lots of Thanks.  Very simple!  Endless possibilities with color combinations!

This card was simple and customizable for my needs.  I stamped the Thank You in pink, the rest in black and simply took a pink marker and checked off the boxes.  The card is now perfect for a friend who was there for me! 


 Stop by next week to see more samples, but for now - check out these fabulous blogs!

Sneak Peek: Lots of Thanks

I am always looking for that perfect stamp to make thank you notes! I am constantly making thank you notes for the kids. I try my best to make them send out a thank you note before they actually use the gift. From now on, this set is going to be my GO-TO thank you note set! It has some fun details in it which will allow you to make "cool" thank you notes for teens/tweens and elegant thank you notes for yourself.
