Gift of Love

This year Stampin’ Up! has some AWESOME
Hostess Only Stamp Sets.
Today’s card features one of the sets — remember
you can only purchase the stamp set when you host
a private class, party/workshop or have you own
book party.  This stamp set is Gift of Love.
It’s a three step stamp — that means you
stamp three times to get the completed image.
Here you stamp the flower outline with
Tip Top Taupe ink, next is Island Indigo
for the flowers and last is Mint Macaron
for the leaves.  Isn’t is beautiful.

Gift of Love
This fold is one of my favorites.
It is quick and easy to do and just give you
a little different look for your card.

One last Christmas card (for now anyway).
I saw this double z-fold card and knew I had to do it.
I really like different folds and this one is great.

I used the Thinking of You Hostess stamp set
and the This Christmas Special Designer Paper.
