Secondly, I wanted to make sure you all knew that since Stampin' Up!'s 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog will be coming out July 1 (featuring new color families in addition to new products!) - and between now and then there are all kinds of stamp sets, inks, accessories, and more that are retiring.
If you have a favorite SU color that is retiring (see the "Fond Farewell" list HERE) now is the time to stock up on ink refills and cardstock before it's too late. Some colors are ALREADY sold out! Shop "Last Chance" stamps, inks, accessories and more HERE. Some items are up to 50% off catalog price, and once they're gone - they're gone for good!

And finally - today's tutorial! (yes, this may be the longest blog post EVER! Hang in there with me!)
I recently picked up some packs of paper from Stampin' Up!'s Clearance Rack (find it HERE) - these paper packs are regularly priced at $9.95 or higher and I got these retired designs for just a few bucks a pack! They are simply gorgeous - and reminded me that with our Designer Series Paper, making a beautiful card is easy - you don't need many supplies or much time... the paper speaks for itself!
To make these cards, I used the following tools: A pair of small scissors, SNAIL monadhesive, an ink pad (I used Old Olive), and a sentiment stamp.
To start, I cut a piece of cardstock (I used Old Olive) 4.25 x 11 inches, a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) 4 x 5.25 inches, and a piece of cardstock in a matching color (I used Certainly Celery) 1 x 3.5 inches. I also used a scrap of Bashful Blue 5/8inch Grosgrain Ribbon.
Fold your large piece of cardstock in half, and attach your piece of DSP to the front of the card.
Ink your sentiment stamp and stamp your greeting on your small piece of cardstock. Tie your ribbon around the end of the cardstock in a double knot, and trim the ends.
Attach your small piece of cardstock to your cardface on the bottom right side and you're done! Could that be any easier?!
You can use any color combinations, cardstock, or DSP to make a card like this. I made up a set of these in 15 minutes... seriously!
Remember, card-making doesn't have to be fancy to make you say "Wow!"
Have a great day, everyone!
