Here for You

I have a soothing card to share with you today. Sometimes people go through rough patches in life and it's nice to send them a handmade card letting them know you care. I wanted the feel of this card to be comforting so I paired a couple neutral colors with Baja Breeze and used the Friends 24-7 stamp set from Stampin Up. The stamps did all the work to pull this creation together. Gotta love Stampin' Up!

I hope you are enjoying the weekend and taking time to relax. Enjoy your day and happy stamping!

It's A Circus Around Here!

It's a circus of circles here at Tiffany's Cardtique today! My most forgotten Stampin' Up! set that I own . . . Circle Circus. It's a really fun and adorable set, but for some reason quite often forgotten. I created my circus card using some of the gorgeous in colors from Stampin Up: Pear Pizzazz, Concord Crush, and Peach Parfait. What a yummy combination of colors I cannot take credit for . . . I used my Color Coach. I just love that handy little tool.

What a nice long holiday weekend. I've been scrapbooking and making cards this weekend. My stash of cards has gotten quite low. I always like to have a bunch of birthday and thank you cards on hand and ready to go.

Enjoy the long weekend and happy stamping!

Tri-Fold Valentine

Have you ever tried making a tri-fold card? It's very easy and makes your card appear really fancy.

Simply take a 9.5 x 5.5 piece of card stock. Score at 2.5 and 6.5 inches. Whola! I wrapped Stampin Up Whisper White Satin ribbon around the entire outside so when you first open the card it's not so boring. Just adding little touches like that can make a big difference.

I am still working on my Valentines. I must admit, I've been addicted to scrapbooking since the New Year. I am bound and determined to get caught up (smile). My goal has been to create a two-page layout each week. So far, so good. I work on it a little every night. I am a very slow scrapbook page creator. It doesn't come as easy as cards do. I'll share some pages with you soon.

Don't forget, Sale-A-Bration is on now through March 31st. You get free products for every $50 you spend. E-mail me for a FREE brochure or more details.

Happy stamping!

Botanical Gazette

If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you are probably thinking I must have a guest stamper today. This card design/style is totally out of character for me . . . but it's me!

This card was totally inspired by the gorgeous Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper in the new Stampin Up Occasions Mini Catalog. Right across the page from this paper in the catalog is the coordinating stamp set Nature Walk. A match made in paradise. I love it!

Don't forget to stamp your envelope to make it complete.

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!

Friends 24/7 - Vintage Style

Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? WOW. Time flies. December is especially busy for me because we have two birthdays in the family to celebrate in addition to Christmas. It's all good!

I wanted to share a Stampin Up Friends 24-7 vintage style card with you today. I love this stamp set. I paired it up with the En Francais background stamp. I think they complement each other nicely.

I've seen a lot of ribbon ruffling on cards lately and wanted to give it a try. How easy! Just grab some Stampin' Up! Sticky Strip and cut a piece long enough to cover the area you want your ribbon to cover. Peel one side off and stick to your paper. Peel the exposed side and start adding your ribbon making as large or wide a ruffle as you desire. That's it!

Be sure to check out the Stampin' Up! Online Spectacular going on now through November 30th. Deep discounts on some great products! It's worth your time to check it out. Remember, you can order from my Stampin' Up! website 24/7.
