Quick & Easy Cards

Today the team is sharing some Quick & Easy Cards with you. Now let's see a show of hands, who is ever busy with family, job, or just life in general? You want to stamp and share a card with others and just don't have the time to make an elaborate card. 

If this describes you then our quick & easy cards are just what you need. I know I have felt that way and stamping should never be stressful. Don't forget to pin the cards so you have them to reference in the future.

Christmas Cards

There are just a little over 2 months left before Christmas!  This means that it might be a good time to start your Christmas cards so that you aren't stressing at the last minute (like I tend to do)!  I think I sent some of my cards out AFTER Christmas last year.  

A few of our Design Team Members created some AWESOME cards for you today!  Check them out, visit each of our blogs to see details about the card!

Blendabilites

Are you not just LOVING these new alcohol markers?!  The Blendabilities make creating fun and colorful again!

Here are a few tips when using Stampin' Up!'s newest coloring tool.

* Always use Momento Ink for stamping your images as it will not blend/smear when using these markers. (NOT staz-on!)

*Layer color upon color for best results!  Do not feel like you have to color with just one color!  There's a reason they put 3 shades in one package!!  Shading and color variation add depth and dimension to your image!

* Nothing is off limits!  Color paper, fabric, wood, tin, leather, ribbon, buttons, people, pets, and tables.... whoa...I mean, you could, but maybe you shouldn't

Most importantly:  Have fun!

Check out what our amazing designers came up with for today's post.  Want to know their secrets?  Check out their blogs for more details!

Also:  Did you know you could join us on Facebook and Pinterest?!  Check it out!  And come back tomorrow as Darcy will show you some Quick and Easy CASE cards!

Stamp Set Focus: Starburst Sayings

Have you ever wondered how many different cards you can make with one stamp set?  The thing I love most about Stampin' Up! is that they sell most of their stamps in sets!  So you have multiple images that coordinate and you can create SO MANY different cards with just one set!

The stamp set that we chose this time has been around for a while but it's a favorite for many people...Starburst Sayings!

And here are the cards the Design Team created for you today...
