KISS Card: Pocket Full of Posies!

It's time for a new KISS (Keep It Simple, Sister) Card!
The idea of a KISS card is to keep things nice and easy.  You'll only need a few items to complete your design and typically, they can be done in a snap!

This sassy little Stampin' Up! exclusive design is a hit with me for a few reasons...
1.) I love the simplicity of the nicely spaced circles.
2.) I love the idea that you can crank several of these cards out to send to your special peeps in only a few minutes!
3.) The Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set gives you several options for personalizing the card for the occasion that you need  - there are 24 different sentiments,  in fact!

Here's your supply list:
