Pretty Doilies Card

So a couple of weeks ago I was released from my calling at church as the Laurel Advisor (teaching & working with the 16-18 year old young women). I have to admit this was probably the first time I have been released from a calling that I've actually been really sad about it! I have LOVED spending time with these amazing young women & getting to know them better. Their faith is inspiring & I have grown spiritually myself so much throughout the 18+ months that I served them. I wanted to make some simple cards to send to each one with a little message from me. These cards turned out very pretty. I like how girly they are with the doilies & the lace border. And I didn't even use a single stamp on these! Now I'm off on a new venture in a new calling in Relief Society (the women's program at my church). I will be in charge of planning the monthly Relief Society meetings. Luckily I have a large committee to help me so I know we will come up with some great ideas!

Blank Card

I put 10 greeting cards in the Mother's Day gift box, so this is the last one I did. It's just a blank card. These are great because then you can always customize it for whatever you need at the moment-birthday, thank you, thinking of you, hello, etc.

And I love this design & these colors together:

I think this card is beautiful, and I think because of the colors it would work for a male recipient as well.

Circle Circus Trio

I had these 3 leftover stamped, punched circles from the Circle Circus stamp set & wasn't sure what to do with them. Then I saw this card on Splitcoast Stampers which inspired me to make this card. It's a very simple card, but I love these colors together!

Soft Suede Razzle Dazzle

Here's a card for you with some brand new Stampin' Up! product! The brown card stock is a new In Color-Soft Suede. At first I wasn't sure about this color (it reminded me too much of Close to Cocoa), but it's really grown on me. It's a really warm brown color, almost like it has a hint of gold in it or something, but not shimmery. Does that make sense? :) And I used a brand new stamp set-Razzle Dazzle. This stamp set is so pretty! I love the simple Soft Suede & Very Vanilla together!
