Hello Everyone!
Welcome Back for a Special Peek at Today’s Card!
It is Special, because it combines 2 Challenges
AND
I did the same Card with a ‘Stepped Up’ Version!
First to the Challenges!
Challenge #1
Make a Clean And Simple (CAS) Card!
The Second Challenge
A Birthday Card!
Here is my Clean and Simple Birthday Card!
This Stamp Set hadn’t seen Ink for awhile…I always liked this Stamp Set…so
I went looking in past catalogs for ideas…and low and behold the
Cards made were few…I must be thinking of all I saw, on other blogs, when this
Stamp Set made it’s debut!
Here is the inside of my Card!
When I do the inside of Cards, I like to bring the colors AND some of the
front elements to the inside!
Here is my Card with it’s stamped to match envelope!
I love the simplicity of this Card…sweet and natural looking!
Stock and Measures:
Cardstock:
Whisper White Thick-card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored @ 4 1/4″, fold in half on the score

And Then There Are Times When You

Here is the ‘Stepped Up’ Version!
I used the other flower in the Stamp Set, colored the flowers and stems and leaves,
stamped and then punched out the butterflies!
The inside of the ‘Stepped Up’ Card!
The inside is the same as the above Card…I used a darker orange!

These are cute!
Pretty and very fresh! Thanks so much for linking up this week at JUGS!
I love all the natural elements on your lovely card. I must say I love the second one too, and it’s still CAS in my mind. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls this week.
Beautiful cards! You used one of my favorite SU sets. I love your designs. Thank you so much for joining us this week at Stamp Ink Paper 🙂
