Promised Doilies

I promised my customers that we would have some doilies in our August camp.  Teamed up with the Sizzix Delicate Doilies Sizzlet, the Lacy & Lovely stamp set fashions a very classy card.  The sentiment in this stamp set and Basic Pearls really add the finishing touch.  This is truly an all occasion card.

My Burlap Bag

  A  long time ago, I heard a story about putting all your worries in a burlap bag and leaving them.  When I saw this card, I thought of that story.  Stamping is my burlap bag.  When I stamp, all my worries seem to disappear putting my mind at peace and surely lowering my blood pressure.  Great therapy–I highly recommend it.

Papillon Potpourri

Whew!  Thank goodness for Wikipedia to figure out the name of this darling stamp set.  Papillon is another name for a butterfly.  Easy peasy.  So now that I know why it’s named this, I can tell you that I have milked this card for all it’s worth!!

First, I featured it a s sneak peek for my July Stamp Camp (they loved it).  Then I featured it as the make & take I did at the 7th Annual Luxury Mid-Summer Crop.  Perfect card to introduce scrapbookers to cardmaking and Stampin' UP!   Next I featured it at a Workshop earlier in the month.  (The hostess saw the Stamp Camp sneak peek and asked for it.)   The ladies that came to the Christmas Cards for Soldiers event got to do it as a make & take.  And lastly, I sent this card out to several friends and potential customers.

Stunning is all I can say about this card.   Those pearls are beautious!!
