Simply Simple and Elegant: Simply Sketched

Today I am sharing this lovely, but simple card I made using Simply Sketched stamp set and some butterflies.  I love the way the Baked Brown Sugar leaves look with the Soft Sky butterflies and I used Blender Pens to color in the berries with Soft Sky.




Stamping with Scraps

Made these cards a while ago.  They are perfect for a Stamping with Scraps card!!






Storing Extra Stamping Scrap Pieces

When I stamp or prepare for a class, there seems to be extra pieces left over.  I hate to throw them out in case I need them for a future project.  So I store them in these little Stampin' Up! plastic containers.  They are perfect for little flowers, little punched pieces, greetings, etc.



When I use butterflies a lot... especially the Stampin' Up! Butterflies die cut and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits.  There are always extra pieces and I store them in these Stampin' Up! Acrylic Cases.  It's perfect...when I need a butterfly or a snowflake, I just grab my case and look for the butterfly I need.










Blooming with Kindness Birthday Card

I made this card for a friend's birthday.  She loves the combo of navy blue and white together and I think this card came out so lovely.  Simple and elegant.
