Classy Cards N Such: Blessings, Count Yours

Hello Everyone.
I'm back with a fall card to share with you today that I made with fabulous products from the Classy Cards N Such online store.

I'm certain that many of you are already off to a great start on your fall cards. But for those of you that are looking for a quick elegant design, that is what I have to share.

 

I started off my card with a base of Stampin' Up!® cardstock. To that I added some of the WonderFALL designer paper by Webster's Pages. I chose this particular pattern because the sentiment "Blessings Count Yours" was built right into the pattern. I adhered a Sunflowers Silver outline sicker to a Lacy Oval die-cut piece of the Burgundy side of the Plum Iridescent Specialty Paper. I layered that onto a larger Lacy Oval die cut. For finishing touches I added some Webster's Pages Whimsies Mini Petals and two lines of the Fine Border Thick Thin stickers in Silver. 

If you haven't tried the outlines stickers yet, you should. They come in really handy for making quick classy cards and you can stock up on them by taking 10% off using my discount code: JENNIPHER-10. Beverly has a great selection in her store to choose from. You can find links to all the products I used on the Classy Cards N Such Blog.

 

On a slightly different note, this was scheduled to be my last card for Classy Cards N Such but, I'm excited to say that Beverly has extended an offer to me to stay on awhile longer and I'm truly honored to except and well, like my card says...It's a blessing and I'm counting it! Looking forward to sharing more great products with you from Classy Cards N Such.

Stairway to Heaven

Hello Everyone. It's been awhile since I've posted and I'm way behind on returning comments but, I have a good reason, I promise.

First, I want to share my card I created for Classy Cards N Such.


I've been wanting to try some of the unique folding techniques for creating cards and I decided to give the Stair-Step fold a try using the tutorial available here at SCS.

The challenge this week at Tuesday Throwdown is Pearls. I think my card fits that requirement, don't you?

Many of you may remember me posting about my Mom falling and breaking her hip and wrist and you all left me such wonderful words of comfort and promises of prayers and I thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. She recovered from that injury and is back at home with me and walking well with the assistance of a walker or cane. At that time, I didn't tell you that Mom had Congestive Heart Failure because the disease was under control. Unfortunately, things have changed. Her CHF is back in full swing and her heart has gotten considerably weaker. I really don't know how much time we have left with her and I am trying to make the most of it. Some days, I just don't feel like creating and blogging so please pardon me, if I don't post for awhile. On the other hand, there are days when creating is how I cope with all of it. I made the above card the day after Mom saw the doctor and it's why I used that scripture. I need the "oil of joy" for mourning and a "garment of praise" for the spirit of heaviness as she slowly climbs the "stairway to heaven".

Thank you for reading. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for your prayers.

Classy Cards N Such: Easy Elegance

Hi Everyone! Today is my first post as a Guest Designer for Classy Cards N Such! I'm going to share with you how to make easy elegant cards using outline stickers and just a few other supplies.

I started by creating a 5.5x4.25 card base out of Reich Shine Champagne cardstock. Using Spellbinders Labels Eighteen and Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up!® I cut out the larger and smaller labels.
To the largest label I adhered the Gold Tulip Window outline sticker and then colored it in to give it that stained glass look. On the smaller label I stamped my sentiment, "with gratitude" from Verve Stamps. I inked the edges of both labels with Gold Colorbox pigment ink. I adhered my larger label to the card base and then popped-up the smaller one, slightly over-lapping the large label. On opposite corners I added the Gold Gothic Corners to create that perfect finishing touch.
This was super quick and easy to make and is ideal for when you need to mass produce "thank you" cards. To make it even quicker you can leave off the Copic coloring. The outline stickers are gorgeous with or without the coloring. If you've never tried the outline stickers I hope that you will.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed my easy elegant card.
