This box with four 3″ by 3″ notecards and envelopes makes a great gift — something for a co-worker or friend that would just make their day a little brighter. The Designer Series Paper is from the Affectionately Yours set. I love the warm tones of Watermelon Wonder with the Copper Embossing Powder. I used the Flourishing Frames Thinlits to makes coordinating ‘flourishes’ for each notecard, and of course on the box. The box is super easy to make. I’ve attached the instructions from Susan Wong’s blog, where I got the inspiration for this cute little set!
Sympathy with a Copper Flourish
I played the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge 308 this week, using a beautiful sketch designed by Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Ann Schach. I used Tip Top Taupe cardstock for the base, and then added a layer of textured Pumpkin Pie card stock from the May Paper Pumpkin Kit. I love the added dimension! I embossed the large floral design from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set with my FAVORITE Copper Embossing Powder on Chocolate Chip card stock. Doesn’t it add a rich finish to this earth-toned card? The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases set as well. I finished the card with a combination of copper metallic thread and twine.

Awesomely Copper!
I have always loved the rich look of copper. I even use it for decorative accents in my home. That’s why I was so excited to see the Copper Heat Emboss Powder in the new 2016-17 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. This card uses the dragonfly and “Friend” stamp from the stamp set “Awesomely Artistic.” I embossed those accents and then added the copper thread to ‘tie’ it all together. I stamped and embossed one more dragonfly on scratch paper and then cut out the wings to make the dragonfly a little more 3-D. The paper is from the Botanicals Designer Paper Series. Old Olive ink is still one of my favorite greens!

Twice as Nice!
Celebrating twin girls born to a former student of mine….I used parts of this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit and the darling stamp set called “Made with Love.” I accented the card with a little pop of Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon.

Hello, Shaker Cards!
I can’t say enough about the new Foam Adhesive Strips from Stampin’ Up! found in the 2016-17 Annual Catalog. These thin strips of foam with adhesive on them make it so easy to make your own shaker card, and who doesn’t love a card that sparkles when you shake it?? This one is done in Flirty Flamingo, hands down my favorite of the new 2016-18 In Colors from Stampin’ Up! The sentiment is from the Tin of Cards stamp set — love the boldness of the font! The inspiration for this card came from Pinterest, a great source of ideas. Stay tuned for a Shaker Card class coming soon!

Affectionate Owls for PPA!
I tried utilizing the awesome Pals Paper Arts Design 306 by my upline, Mary Fish. I thought these sweet little owls with dresses from the “Affectionately Yours” Designer Series paper would be cute. The sequins make the tree branches ‘pop’ a little!
