Simple but Elegant

Today's card came out quite elegant I think. I am still using up retiring items... as I went through my supplies to sort out the retiring stamps etc. so I thought one more share with "old stuff" LOL

So long...peacock

Today's card will post while I am travelling. Due to all of you my dear stamping friends and Stampin' up! I am able to go on a Mediterranean Cruise..How neat is that.. Thank you all so very much for your support.  I am going and try to post some pictures to Facebook if we have internet...
Rest assured the house and dogs are going to be watched and well taken care off during this time and you won't miss me too much because there will be posts to the blog every day...

So...let me show you my last card with the retiring stamp "Perfect Peacock":

Now you might think this card looks familiar.. and you are correct! I used some left over supplies from one of the Stamp-a-Stack cards this month :-)

And I really like it when all you need are 2 colors to make a pretty card... and they looks so good together...

O-M-G! Really? I was sitting on this awesome kit like forever and didn't realize what great value it has! It comes with EVERYTHING you need to make 20 (TWENTY) cards in no time! I am going to post some of the cards, not all since I made some in multiples... but I wanted you to see that with very little effort I was able to whip them all out...

I did want to point out that I didn't even use the stamp set that's included, since I want to gift that to my hostess basket ;-) The last card has a flower that I had left over from stamp club and it seemed the perfect little embellishment... so you can add your own spin, by doing that!

Here is a list of at what's in the kit:

Hooray for quick, handcrafted cards! Includes 20 printed card bases (10 ea. of 2 designs), 5 sticker sheets, 20 Kraft envelopes, 1 sheet of Stampin' Dimensionals¨, 18' Whisper White Baker's Twine; 10 mini paperclips; 3-piece Hip Hip Hooray Stamp Set & clear stamp block; 1 Basic Gray Stampin' Spot.
