Lacking inspiration or motivation? Here’s what I do when I need a boost of inspiration. I turn to the Stampin’ Up! catalogs for card sketches and layout ideas. Today’s card is a case from the annual catalog found on page 27.   Let’s just say today’s card is my cup of tea kind of card.  I love simplicity and this card is definitely quick and easy.  I let the beauty of the Designer Series Papers do the work for me.

This layout is fun with stamp sets as well as the papers; but now that I’m looking at it; it reminds me of a window.  This layout would be great with a scenic stamp set or even scenic papers looking out the window to a snowy scene or mountains.  The possibilities are endless!   Great layout for masculine as well as kids cards.

All the supplies used on today’s card are from the Tea Boutique Suite found on page 12 & 13 of the annual catalog.  I used the Cup of Tea stamp set, the Tea Boutique Designer Series Papers and yes these papers coordinating with the new In Colors.  I used the Starry Sky ink, cardstock and the Sweet Sorbet cardstock.

Customer Appreciation for August Ending SOON!

Mystery Packages are still going out in the mail!

If you are a blog follower of mine then you know I have been working really hard to try and earn the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip.  We are in the final stretch and I’m coming in short of achieving my goal.  So I’m pulling out all the stops to try and achieve my goal.  Not only is it Sale-a-bration where you receive a FREE item with every $50.00 or $100.00 order BUT for this month I’m giving away a Mystery Package for all online orders of $50.00 or more and use the current Host Code: WVUXXEFE

What will you find in the Mystery Package?

When you place a min. $50.00 or more online order with me and use the current host code you will receive a package with a value equivalent to what you spent. These products will be used or slightly used or some brand new retired products; from paper, inks, ribbons, embellishments to stamp sets and dies.  Your package value will depend on the amount you spend in your online order.  Basically I will match the value.

Make sure to use the Host Code unless your order is over $150.00 then you are your own host and will receive all the host benefits and the Mystery package.

*Note:  Make sure to use the Order Numbers FROM THE FLYER  when adding them to your order(s); as that is the only way they will ring in as a FREE Sale-a-bration item; if you use the order number from the catalogs it will charge your full price for them.

These new Sale-a-bration items are my cup of tea; are any yours?

Finding inspiration from the catalogs is my cup of tea what is yours?

Have a Great Day and Happy Stamping!
