When it was cute - make it smaller.

I did a card several weeks ago that had this same theme. I needed a quick gift card for a Thank you and with a few changes came up with this cute little 3" x 3" card and envelope. I think that when a card looks cute it may look really cute smaller - why is that? They do say that the best things come in small packages.
I also love to stamp on the envelope! I think that when you add a little hand stamped touch to the outside it gets people ready for the artwork inside!

I also realized that I hadn't ever posted this card that I made weeks ago to take to the regional meeting and swap. I thought that I would share it with you all as well. I think everyone should have this cute little Tart & Tangy stamp set it is just so cherry.

Bright Birthday!

Here is my newest creation. I love citrus colors but I don't always find myself reaching for them when I stamp. Sometimes it just takes a cute new stamp to remind me of colors that I love.

All Supplies Stampin' Up!: Tart & Tany and Eat Cake stamp sets; Green Galore, Only Orange, Yo Yo Yellow and Whisper White card stock; Green Galore, Only Orange, and Yo Yo Yellow Stampin' Write markers; Green Galore, Only Orange, and Yo Yo Yellow classis ink pads; White 1/4" grosgrain.

You can find the directions on how to make this cute box here. I can just see filling this little box with some sweet treats for happy birthday gift.

I have a lot to do today. I am part of a charity fashion show this afternoon which should be fun but will keep me away from stampin' stuff most of the day. I am glad that it is for a really good cause because if it wasn't it would be hard to leave the stamp room. Next post on Monday and there will be a couple of projects in that post with sale-a-bration sets. I just love sale-a-bration and we only have a few weeks left.

Fruit is fun.

I have a new set called Tart & Tangy. I have been hoping to find the time to really dive in and try it out. It will be in the Occasions Mini Catalog available March 1st. There is also a designer series paper that coordinates called Summer Picnic. I love how cherry the little cherries in this set are. I needed a quick and cute thank you card and here it is:

All Supplies Stampin' Up!: Tart & Tany and Much Appreciated stamp sets; Old Olive, Real Red and Whisper White card stock; Old Olive and Real Red Stampin' Write markers; Old Olive classis ink pad; Real Red Striped grosgrain ribbon; 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punch.

I was inspired by this card at splitcoaststampers.

There is also a cute citrus stamp. I think that it would make a great little gift box all bright and cherry. I will have to work on that to post tomorrow.
