Lauri's Stampin' Corner

Quick and easy!! I've made two cards in about 15 minutes this morning and the kids are still sleeping! When you need something quick and easy, the simply sent kits from Stampin' Up! fill the bill. They are precut and color coordinated, so it takes all the guess work out of making a card. You can just add a sentiment stamped on the matching tags that are included, or do like I did and jazz it up a bit more. They're beautifully embossed and die cut and ready to send...simply! Then to top it off, Stampin' Up! is running a special on these for the month of October. Just choose two of the Simply Sent kits and get one of the coordinating stamp sets FREE ! I love FREE ! The envelopes are even included! Here's my version for the day:   Ingredients: Simply Sent Everyday Elegance Stamp Set: Everyday Wishes, Faith in Nature (Hostess set) Paper: Baja Breeze Ink: Early Espresso, VersaMark, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, How lovely are your branches! For some reason after making this card, that song just keeps playing through my head! What a fun and easy card to do.
