Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you all did something special today!  I should have posted these a couple of days earlier for ideas but oh well!  These are still great basic templates for any card, any time!  I am really loving this little elephant from the SAB set, Patterned Occasions.  It has a sentiment below it that says, "thanks a ton" but I sliced it off and now can use either the elephant alone or just the sentiment.

The rick rack here is one of my favorites.  It's an easy way to add that something extra and I often use it instead of ribbon if I am mailing a card to keep it more mail friendly since it lays flat.

OH, HELLO!

Happy New Year!

I've got a simple card to share that I made for a swap with my Stamp Ladies group.
This card high lights a few new products from Stampin' Up!  The elephant comes from a Sale-A-Bration set called Patterned Occasions.  Yes, it's Sale-A-Bration (SAB) time now through March 22.  With every $50 purchased you get to choose an item from the SAB brochure free.  The link to both catalogs are there on the left.

The paper I used here is also a SAB choice.  The Oh, Hello sentiment comes from a set called "Oh, Hello and it's a set from the Occasions catalog.  This set also includes a Thanks So Much and a You're Invited sentiment and I've found the set very versatile.  I have a few other cards I just made that I'll post this week.
