Today I found the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack on my desk underneath a bunch of stamping stuff, so I thought why not use this somehow? I realized I hadn't used it much, but gee, the paper inside is beautiful! This green print on the bottom of my card is from the other side of the top design!  So easy to coordinate!

If you want to make an easy card, this layout is the simplest ever! The card base is made with a  5.5" x 4.25" piece of Very Vanilla card stock folded in half. Next I cut two pieces of the Print Poetry paper and adhered together.  At that point, I should have wrapped a strip of the ribbon around just the designer paper….but I forgot and glued it down to the card base! Since there are no mistakes in stamping(!), I just wrapped the 3/8" Primrose Petals Stitched Satin Ribbon around the front of the card and attached a separate bow.

For a little greeting, I stamped the word "friends" from the stamp set Sweet Essentials and layered it on the Ticket Duo Punch #126883.  You could use any greeting and any coordinating punch and you have an easy to make card for any occasion!

Stay Tuned!!  RETIRED LISTS coming this Wednesday,

April 24!

If you are new, what does that mean?  Each year around this time, Stampin' Up! retires stamp sets and accessories in order to make room for NEW products in the NEW catalog coming out soon! It's an exciting time and a time to stay in touch with me so you can purchase any retiring products you really want but haven't gotten yet. This won't be the time to procrastinate! In fact, I would suggest not waiting for the list, but getting the products you really want NOW before there is a run on them.  No one can predict what will be retired and what won't…or what will sell fast and what won't.  Just fair warning!  

If you have any questions, please email me at Karen@KarenStamps.com…..and make sure you are on my Mailing List here!
