5X7 Relax and Renew

This card is very simple...I wanted to keep it that way since it seems to have so much going on with the DSP...but it's still an eye catcher.

 

 

I love the sketch this week...it was so much fun to play with...and easy too.

 

 

 

I used this ribbon a lot a long time ago...and I love it just as much now as I did back then...it's so soft and the colour is Soft Moss.

 

 

 

I love Cupcakes...so I will relax with a Nice cup of coffee and my cupcake...Yum!

Make A Wish

Isn't this ribbon simply gorgeous...I had just enough left over to make these two lovely cards...I really needed (LOL) to use this beautiful wrapping paper that wrapped a lovely gift for me from Japan...I told you that you'd be seeing lots of projects with it till I used it up...both the ribbon and the paper are my favorites.
 

I glued the paper onto the very vanilla card stock using my snail adhesive...I then ran it in the cupcakes folder through my big shot...so easy peasy...lol.
 

Both of the cards are mirror images of each other...it was fun doing that...you can see it in the photo...but the little dot of stickles on the candle glimmers in the light.

 Here is the quick recipe:

Stamp: A cupcake wish.

*****

Card stock: very vanilla...assorted scraps...and cream printer paper.

*****

Ink: early espresso.

*****

Markers stampin' write.

*****

Punches: cupcake folder.

*****

Additional supplies: gorgeous green linen ribbon...s/u mini glue dots...snail...big shot...fiskar...simply scored plate...and yellow stickles glitter glue.

 Thanks so much for dropping by this chilly morning and sharing my card with me...it's cold here this morning...what a difference a day makes...enjoy the rest of your morning...and I hope you all have a stampin' good time.

 Thanks so much for droppin' by today...I hope you like my card as I much as I do...it's been a beautiful weekend...I'm sipping a cup of very hot tea right now...it's freezin' here this morning...but I won't complain...saving it for the snowy winter days...lol...as long as it's dry I will handle it...enjoy the rest of the weekend...have a beautiful day...and I hope you all have a stampin' good time.
