About As Easy As It Gets

I made this quick little card today using a new stamp a dear friend got me a few months ago. I had not used it yet but some scrap paper I noticed lying on my desk caught my eye and thought it would work well with this stamp. I always try to include a few cards in each of my larger orders and I had just finished one and wanted to include this card with it. Since I was on my way to the post office, I made this real quick and added it to the box. After looking at the photo, I wish I would have added a strip of paper under the ribbon. Oh well, the card was already at the post office so there was not a lot I could do at this point.

Baby Shower Gift

I have a dilemma. A friend of mine is pregnant with her second child. She is strongly adamant about not wanting a baby shower. And it is not like she is saying she does not one but really does...she really does not want one. Another friend of ours set up a week long gift giving system where everyday several of us send her a gift to work. It is a wonderful thought because she is going to need stuff for the new baby but I am worried she is not going to enjoy this. So...what to get her. I figured she is going to need a bunch of thank you cards so that is going to be my gift for her. I picked the first day to take my gift so that she would have the cards at work and ready to fill out on the spot.

I embossed the blue paper with my Cuttlebug and cut out the scalloped oval using the Cuttlebug and a Spellbinders Nestabilities die. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and the little foot prints are from a pack of stamps from Hobby Lobby, I don't know the brand.

A Nice Little Set

I had to throw away few when I was working on this layout. I finally got one that I was happy with. Then I just made a few more with different sentiments on them. It is pretty versatile and is probably something I will make more of when I need a matching set of cards. I also really like making one layer cards. They are very quick and neat looking.

I used Stampin Up! ink and stamps on these cards. The stamps are from Close as a Memory, Sweet Little Sentiments, and Friendship Blooms. I used Really Rust and Old Olive ink.
