Make a Wish: Clean-n-Clever Card

I just love a clean and simple look . . . in my home decorating, in my scrapbooking, and in my stamping!  Ideas that are clean and especially clever always catch my eye.  So how about a Clean-n-Clever CLOcard today?  This one by Irene grabbed my attention and went right into my "CLOclub idea" file.

Nice clean look, right?  And this is what I thought was so clever . . . it looks like the Baker's Twine comes right through the center of the punchies and ties in a knot.  But it doesn't!  I just wrapped 2 pieces of Baker's Twine around the layers and taped it to the back.  Then I attached the punchies with Dimensionals. Last, I tied 2 shorter pieces of Baker's Twine in a knot and attached them to the flower center with a Gluedot.  Clean . . . and Clever . . . nice!

Sale-a-Bration is coming to an end . . .

Hello, stampers!  I am sad to say that my most favorite time of the Stampin' Up! calendar year . . . is coming to an end - Sale-a-Bration!  Have you enjoyed SAB this year and taken full advantage of the chance to get FREE product?  I hope so.  If not, there's still time!  Orders of $50 or more placed by March 31st qualify for FREE products - just visit my Online Store to see them!

Here are a couple cards I created using Sale-a-Bration goodies.  This first card was inspired by a challenge I saw in Take Ten Magazine and uses several SAB products.

The Summer Starfruit pancy and the Pool Party circle are both raised with Dimensionals, and the Crisp Cantaloupe cording is just knotted and attached in the back of the Sahara Sand layer . . .

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

This fancy little notecard is made with the Good as Gold Simply Sent Kit you can earn FREE with an order of $50 or more.  The kit makes 8 cards with envelopes that are lined with gold foil!  What fun - for yourself, or as a gift to another crafty friend. You can gift it as a kit, or you can put it together and gift it as a pack of finished notecards!

I mounted the word banner with Dimensionals, otherwise the only thing I had to add to the kit was adhesive!  I also trimmed the width of the card by about 1/16" so that it would slide into the envelope more easily.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.
