I have created a cute, clean-and-simple Christmas card using the Whimsical Trees Bundle and Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Clean-and-simple card making is about clean lines, areas of unadorned white space, minimal layers, and few or no embellishments.

How sweet is this cute Christmas notecard!  I have dressed up a Basic White Note Card using the fun Whimsical Trees Bundle and pretty Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I am loving these non-traditional, soft pastel colours!

I created this fun angled z-fold birthday card for my niece using the Sweet as a Peach Bundle and the gorgeous You're a Peach Designer Series Paper.  And, this one has a story behind it!

When I saw the Delivering Cheer stamp set in the new mini catalogue, I knew I needed it for creating Christmas cards.  It is delightful and different from the traditional imagery you normally associate with Christmas.  However, the first card I made with this versatile stamp set was not for the festive season... it's a birthday card!

Sympathy cards can be difficult to create and often at a tough time.  Pastel colours and floral imagery are a good rule of thumb when creating a sympathy card.  Here I have paired the elegant Delicate Dahlias stamp set with a soft polka dot patterned paper from the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper pack.

Here is one of my first Christmas cards of the year...  This Christmas card was created using the amazing Merriest Moments stamp set and coordinating Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder.  The very pretty, non-traditional colours for this card were inspired by the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Have you seen the beautiful Strong of Heart stamp set?  This is a special charity stamp set where Stampin' Up! will donate $4.50 NZD to support heart health for every Strong of Heart stamp set purchased.  I just love the brushstroke heart image from this stamp set and have stamped it on a Polished Pink Ombre Gift Bag...

Happy Father's Day to all those men who have courageously nurtured and intentionally influenced our future generations.
