Stepping It Up!

Here are three cards that use the same layout. I've just taken each one a step further.
I started with the top card, nice and simple.
On the second card I added a layer of embossed card stock to give it a little more depth.
The third card I added a larger embossed piece of card stock and added some black gems to the flower centers.
Which is your favorite?
And that uses up that pack of Designer Series Paper. Now I can get the new design in this year's Holiday catalog. Ordering for it starts on September 1.

Lovely Layout

This is a lovely layout and great for using up some Designer Series Paper scraps. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I get to see previews of the catalogs before the sales begin. The new holiday catalog has some beautiful DSP in it! I especially like the new one for fall but had a little bit left from last year's fall pattern. So, I told myself I can't order the new until the old is gone.
So, I grabbed my 1-inch square punch and used up quite a bit making these two cards. The little squares are layered on 3-1/4" cardstack squre and that is layered on a 3-1/2" square.

Less Fuss

I used the same layout as yesterday's card but fewer layers and elements. The pink side panel is stamped with VersaMark and then sprinkled and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The doily is cut from one of the laser cut doily sheets in the Flirtatious Designer Series Pack and layered over one of the patterns from that pack. That same pattern is used to make the envelope liner. I used the Deco Labels framelits to cut out the image from the You're Lovely set from last year's Sale-A-Bration.
Speaking o Sale-A-Bration... there are so many great sets in the new Occasions catalog that it's no problem to earn some free items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Or if you have been waiting to get Blendabilites from the Annual Catalog you can use your Sale-A-Bration earnings to get them. It's a great deal!
