Once again I have been busy cutting lots of paper. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Before I go to bed I need to unwind with E! TV as well as make a card just for ME! This just makes me happy and makes for great little bloggy posts. I have been doing so much Christmas and other holidays that tonight I wanted something rich and yummy in color and something easy! I decided on this card using Parisian Summer Designer Series Paper. Today, it’s my new favorite paper. Not to worry, tomorrow I am sure this will change. I was completely inspired by the Stampin’ Success Magazine that Stampin’ Up! publishes each month for it’s demonstrators. I love this magazine and the front cover had these colors and I loved it. I am not a Baroque Burgandy fan, however this paper is so rich in color that you cannot help but love it. 
I think I love every sheet in the pack. WOWSER!
As for stamp sets, I used Kindred Spirits and Only Ovals. I added a little Chocolate Chip cardstock between the designer papers just to break up the Baroque Burgandy. Loved this because it reminds me of truffles. Wish I had a few here right now. That Only Ovals set is fantastic and works GREAT with the Wide Oval punch! Lastly, I added some Baroque grosgrain ribbon for extra flare and I love how this finished the card.
Here is a close up look:
On a side note from my post yesterday… I just wanted to thank all of you with your amazing ideas and such kind comments. Each of you just made my day. You guys gave me such great ideas on how to use this little box! I love the idea of having friends and family write on little notes what they are grateful for. Very clever. Another great idea was to use it for nuts. Loved the idea to place an ink pad in the box as a gift. It would fit perfectly! Again, thank you so much!
Have a FANTASTIC Thursday!
