BRIGHT BLOSSOMS 3 x 3

It's the little things that can mean so much.  A smile.  A hug.  A phone call.

Today's share is just a little something to let someone know you care, a fun little card that should brighten anyone's day.

The Bright Blossoms and Ciao, Baby stamp sets make this little card just as cute as can be.
The Happy Day tag is popped up on a dimensional and acts as a latch to keep the card closed.

Gently release to reveal the inside with room for your personal note.

Then slip it into your embellished envelope, ready to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

The Petite Curly Label punch used for the sentiment "latch" will be available during Sale-a-bration, Jan 22- Mar 22.  Contact me to learn how you can get one free!

Happy stampin'

FOR MY FRIEND

Hi Stampers!
What a treat it can be and a lift to the spirits to receive and unexpected card in the mail -- especially from a friend.

Today's post is the 1st of 3 cards made at this month's stamping club (we call it "Cheaper than Therapy" and it is!)

I love cards that use materials I have readily available, require a minimum of tools and go together quickly and easily.  This one fits the bill.  (note:  The colors in the card are much prettier and truer my photo shows. For example, the little vase is stamped in Crumb Cake and matches the card base, which is plain not mottled. )
