Do you want to see a different type of card?  One that takes less paper, but is still a WOW!?  I have just the thing!!

Here is a sneak peek!............................................




I LOVE the new set from the Occasions Mini!  It is called Great Friend.  I used my homemade glitter glue to put on the wings, I had an empty versamark bottle that I cleaned out, filled with Crystal Effects and added 1/4 tsp Dazzling Diamonds.  Voila!!  Glitter Glue!  I put a half piece of a dimensional under each wing to keep it popped out.    The other stamp set that is around the butterfly is from the stamp set (also from the Occasions Mini) Matchbox Messages.  I stamped both the butterfly and the border in Baja Breeze on Very Vanilla and then I sponged the edges.  The 'For You' stamp is from the Great Friends stamp set, I stamped that in Basic Black.


Here is a picture of the card open and the card closed.




 

I got the idea for this card from PEW.  I copied the card exactly as she had it, because when it is already perfect, you leave it perfect!!

The only thing that is different about this card from other ones is that the bottom layer is adhered to the base of the cardstock and the top is hinged by the silver brad.  Cool, huh!?   I don't know about you, but I would love to receive a handmade card like this!!

Now that I have shown you some stamp sets from the Occasions Mini, I don't want you to forget about the special that Stampin' Up! is running the month of April.  If you purchase $40.00 worth from the Occasions Mini you get to pick out a stamp set or kit from the Under $10.00 page in the Idea Book and Catalog on page 208 for FREE!!!   These very versatile sets are awesome, so don't miss out on getting one of these for FREE!!!   You can also have a workshop where you invite your friends over and I plan a stamping event where they get to make cards like the ones you have seen here on my Blog and earn free stamp sets that way!!  Call me now to schedule your stamping party.

My class is on Monday for making 5 cards for $15.00 using the stamp set Inspired by Nature.  This set is on the Dormant list but is still available for purchase for $23.95.  I have shown you many cards and scrapbook pages using this set, so just look for the title using that set.  You MUST sign up for this class by this Friday April 17th before 2:00 p.m.    These cards have many layers and embellishments and you are definitely getting your $$ worth in this class!! 

Hope you have a great Stamping Day!!
