When I received my March 2012 copy of Better Homes and Gardens magazine - I was instantly inspired! That great home decor layout on the cover was a perfect inspiration for a card!!
Here is the card that I was inspired to create. I'm not sure I've ever put so many different colors together! But with the neutral card base, it works!
The botanical images come from Pocket Silhouettes stamp set and they are heat embossed with Whisper White Craft Ink and White Stampin' Emboss Powder. The greeting, from the Sweetly Said stamp set, is heat embossed as well.
Heat Embossing Tip:
The individual colors are punched out using the 1" Square Punch and are mounted to a Postage Stamp Punch of Whisper White Card Stock. They are "popped" using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Welcome back to your Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.)! What makes creating a greeting card easy and simple? Grab a sketch:
Clean and Simple Stamping's Fall To Layout 179
And a color cobmo: Splitcoast's CC 363 - Basic Gray, Pretty In Pink and Pink Pirouette
And get to stamping!
The result is a very simple birthday card!
The balloon was stamped a second time on Pretty In Pink card stock, cut out and mounted using Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I added a little Crystal Effects for a bit of shine!
The triple greeting alignment was help by using our Stamp-a-ma-jig! Love that stamp positioner!!
Hope you have a fun and simple weekend.

A few Rhinestone Jewels set off the flower image and the Birthday Wishes greeting.

OK, now it's not what you are thinking!! But, something much better! Today's project features the Fresh Vintage stamp set and Everyday Enchantment Paper, Ribbons and Brads and combines two different challenges!!! Whew!
The first challenge is the card layout which comes from the Clean & Simple Stamping Blog Fall To Layout 178:
And the second challenge is Tie One On (Cards with Ribbon) CFC40 over at the CAS-ual Friday blog.
You can see the beautiful 1/8" Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral Organdy Ribbon on either side of the focal piece.
The medallion images are punched out using the 1 3/8" Circle Punch and their edges are sponged using Soft Suede Classic Ink and Stamping Sponges. The edges of the Very Vanilla focal panel are also sponged to add to the distressed look of the card and coordinate with the distressed edges of the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper.
Remember, this stamp set, Designer Series Paper, Ribbons and Brads can only be earned FREE with Sale-a-Bration!!
Check Sale-a-Bration Details!!
Now, both of these challenges come from blogs that are known for the clean, simple inspiration - and normally, I'm all about that! But, today I went a bit more embellished and a bit more fussy! But, I hope you like.
Stay tuned tomorrow because your Keep It Simple Saturday project will be back to clean and simple.
Thanks for stopping by this Friday!

Today I wanted to share with you a fun Matchbox Purse that was created by my downline, Beth Gale.
Beth shared this fun project with us at an Icy Inkers Stampin' Saturday in January.
Simply create a matchbox using the Matchbox XL Die for the Big Shot. Turn it on its edge, embellish with a strap and fasteners and VOILA - you have a little purse.
Beth used Mini Silver Brads and Pink Rhinestones for embellishment. Those fabulous pink rhinestones can be found in the Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit in the Occasions Mini Catalog!
Check Out Blossom Builders Kit!
This fun box can be used for so many things!! How will you recreate it for your upcoming event?

Are you challenged to create masculine Valentine's each year? I know I am! These masculine Valentine treat boxes will be given to my two sons today.
I went with the Extreme Elements stamp set and added some distress with our Crimper. The Crumb Cake belly band is crimped as well as the Full Heart Punch of Basic Black card stock. The Bravo Burgundy heart was die cut with the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die.
I'm guessing they won't care what I used on the outside....only that I filled the inside with chocolate. ;o)
I pray that you know the most extreme love there is - God's Love!
"For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

It's Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) and it's all about love! I love how the multiple expressions of love in the I (Love) Love Jumbo Wheel seem to echo the sentiment "True Love Stories Never End."
You have to love the POP that a little Red Glimmer Paper adds to your projects! Yes, the Red Glimmer Paper is still available along with a few other items from the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog.
View Holiday Mini Catalog Carryover Flyer
Remember, you projects don't have to have a bunch of layers and a ton of embellishments. Sometimes less is more! Keep It Simple!
I pray you have something fun and simple planned for your weekend. Have a good one.

I mean - Do You Own a Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and love it?!
Isn't this card gorgeous?! I can say that because this card was created by Karol Coleman, my mother-in-law. Karol has come to love her Big Shot Die Cutting Machine as much as I love mine!
Karol die cut the flowers using the Fun Flowers Die and then added texture with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. A Paper Daisy and Antique Brad finish off the center. So pretty!
Are you a Big Shot yet? Do you have one of these fabulous machines? I know some of my clients are just discovering all that they can do with the Big Shot. Would you like to learn more?

Welcome back to your Keep It Simple Saturday (K.I.S.S.) project. A feature that gives you a quick project idea for those last minute creative needs!!
This card is essentially just a single layer except for the one small embellished layer in the Whisper White Adorning Accents scalloped edge. But that little bit of detail, along with the coordinating scallop embossed edge are enough to make this interesting.
I hope you enjoy this simple project and I hope you have something simple and enjoyable planned this weekend.
