Quick and Classy

It has been a long time since I have shared on my blog. This card was created to be part of a mixed occasions card box set. I love how this card is simple but
elegant and can be used for male or female.

Two craft favorites merged together to create

I love using Elizabeth craft design outline stickers a favorite craft item of mine. I found that using different color glitters are very messy. Not anymore thanks to Stampin' Up blendabilites. I place the sticker on whisper white card stock and dip in warm highlights micro fine glitter and color the glitter with the alcohol markers.

Be card ready

It has been a long time since I posted  on my blog. I recently participated in a  sentiment ready card swap with GR, "creating something handmade" Facebook group. 

It made me think? I have lots of scraps and retired Stampin' Up paper and it would be nice to 

BE CARD READY instead of making a card every time I need one. So this weekend at a scrapbook

retreat I made some cards and all I will have to do is at the sentiment and something inside.
