Miracles Happen

Author: February 22, 2013 0 Comments

Before signing off for the evening I wanted to share another swap I got from Leadership. It's from Marlene Salvato. I shared a couple other swaps from her which you can see on this post HERE. I love how Sweet and Simple yet Elegant this card looks!


MSalvato SwapI tried to get the best picture but was having difficulties!

It's Whisper White Background with Whisper White Layer embossed with the new Cloudy Day embossing folder #127022 and Stampin' Up!s New stamp set called Rain or Shine #126-775 (w) or 126-777 (c) which can be found in the Spring Catalog and available til May 31st, 2013.

Well I plan on playing around this weekend! I've got lots of scraps laying around in neat piles and I really need to do something with them. That is one of my resolutions this year.  Use up the images, scraps and what not I've got.  Check back on Sunday to see what I've done!  Thanks for stopping by and as always…

Happy Friday all! Sorry to not have posted sooner been working on a few other things on my other site HERE.  But wrapping things up and wanted to share this with you.

So I have such a hard time just keeping a card simple.  I tend to overthink it ALOT! Well seeing tons of awesome and "simple" ideas at Leadership this year I realized it's not that hard! Here is one that was shared from Stampin' Up! I am showing 3 versions – Simple, Step it Up and Step it up some more!


Thanks CardFrom left to right:

Simple, quick and fast. Then you've got a stepped up version! A few punched out images and you still have a quick and fast card.

Samples are using all the New In-Colors and Stamp Set from SAB Vintage Verses! LOVE this set!



Thanks Card 1

Here is the final Stepped up some more card!

All I did was add some Pearls to the center of each butterfly. Just to give it that extra Bling!

I have to stop overthinking things so much! Will share another super easy card with you a little later!

Thaks for stopping by and as always….

Happy Stampin,
