For All You Do. I love this stamp set I am using! I hope you do too. Here are some ideas for you. Please BOOKMARK this page now so you can return later. After the tour is over, I will be posting a step-by-step tutorial on my post below of the Venetian Blind card.
Art from the Heart
I enjoy turning our wonderful colors of our coordinating paper that Stampin' Up! offers into art! I love butterflies. My inspiration for this came directly from our brand new 2009-10 Idea Book & Catalog. Call or email me TODAY to get your new catalog. Our catalogs are back to being current for ONE Full Year! Yay!!! This frame has four different pieces of glass to layer.
Here is my recipe:
Stamps: For All You Do
Card Stock: Old Olive, Orchid Opulence, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP
Inks: Old Olive, Orchid Opulance, Rich Razzleberry, Craft Whisper White
Accessories: Sizzix Sizzlits Lots of Tags, Word Window and Modern Label Punches, 1/" Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain, Button Latte, Pretties Kit, Linen Thread
Thank You Card
I will post a couple of tips on how I got dots on my flower and butterfly after the tour is over. Make sure to bookmark this blog NOW :) I will also be posting a tip on tying my knot! Inspiration for this card came from Julie D. I used markers to color in the smaller flower centers and the body of the butterfly.

Another way to show off our new In Colors. These are little 3"x3" mini cards, ready to go to top that gift or give with that special thought from you. Once again, Julie D. was my inspiration. Outstanding!

Venetian Blind Card
And last, but not least, I used this set doing a Venetian Blind card. Yes, don't forget to Bookmark this blog now! Come back and I will have a step-by-step tutorial with pictures for you to download. It really is an easy card to make.
When you take the pulls at the bottom and pull them directly outward to each side, the blind pulls up to reveal your message. I also like mounting this card on top of a card so that I can write more inside the second card.
