KISS: Creative Elements in Calypso Coral

One of my favorite sets from the new Idea Book & Catalog is wonderfully called 'Creative Elements'.  There are countless things that can be done with this one stamp set... borders, frames, background artwork and a beautiful sentiment that reads, "Treat yourself like your own best company."  How simply delightful is that!

I wanted to share this beautiful set and one of the new 'In Colors' with you, but in a capacity that was quick and what I like to call, 'KISS' or 'Keep It Simple Sister!'


Check out the supplies that I used... Pretty basic!


Card Stock: Whisper White & Calypso Coral
Stamp Set: Creative Elements
Classic Ink: Calypso Coral
Important Extras: Clear Block "E", Bone folder, SNAIL adhesive, Hemp Twine

Texture Tip - You may notice the frayed or rough edges on the white card stock where the pretty stamps are.  So easy!  Simply take your finger nail and 'scratch' the card stock until you reach the effect that you like.  If you can't stand the feel on your nails (!) use a Stampin' Up! sanding block . 
That will also work beautifully for you.

Savvy Savings Tip: Card Stock - The featured card is 3" x 6". This sizing allows you to use 12"x12" paper and divide it into quarters. You can really make your card stock go the mile while using this size! Click here for a visual from a previous post.
How about envelopes, you ask?  Got ya covered!  Stampin' Up! offers Small Open Ended Envelopes in Whisper White that will fit any 3"x 6" card nicely.  (Item #107286, $7.50)
