Loving this fun, festive and colorful holiday card!  This sweet ditty may take a touch of extra time, but the person opening the envelope will certainly cherish it...

Happy Birthday in Soft Suede

I'm loving today's Idea of the Day! The neutrals are clean and crisp and the Designer Paper is lovely with the paisley print.  I discovered a few hints when making the card so you'll be able to pull it off in a snap. See the helpful hint picture below! You can make your ruffled fold as 'dense' or 'spread apart' as you'd like, but I used a 12" x 1-1/4" piece of Designer Paper (it was actually a scrap piece of paper) and I liked the results. 

Here's your Supply List:

• Card Stock: River Rock (for the base of the card), Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz & Very Vanilla
• Designer Series Paper: Spice Cake
• Ink: Versamark
• Punches: Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border
• Sassy Accessories: Antique Brads (love these!), Sticky Strip, SNAIL adhesive and a Mat Pack to make putting the brad in super easy!

One Sassy Witch!

Today's Idea of the Day is borrowed from Heather, a 2011 Stampin' Up! Artisan Winner.  This is so fun and cool!!

There are a few neat components that I'd like to show you.

1. Heather uses the new Simply Scored Tool to create the Rosette on the top.

2. There's a lot of subtle texture going on from the Snow Burst Embossing Folder (#124096). You'll find it in the topper that's holder those little witch legs, in center of the rosette and on the witches shoes.

3. The basic jewels are a sparkly accent to the rosette.  Easy to apply and quick!

4. Awesome Value Alert!  The 1"x8" cello bags (#124134) come in a set of 50 for only $2.50 and are used as the witches legs.

5. Creative A-Ha!!  Heather used the new Stocking Builder Punch (#124095) and transformed a holiday stocking to the witches super sassy shoes with a couple of simple snips.

6. My fav punch is the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border (#119275).  Heather punched a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock, then bunched it a bit to create the ruffled look on the boot.  Ooh lala! A few more snips from the same punch makes the front boot strap accessory.  LOVE!!

Ribbon Flair!

I'm just crazy over this little 'ole card!  So feminine with a touch of 'look at me!' flair...

I was inspired by Erika Cerwin of Pink Buckaroo Designs and borrow her design. Her sassy spirit shines through her work and the way this little lady can use ribbon makes me envious!  Additionally, thanks to the Stampin' Up! Color Coach, I had absolutely no fear when it came to matching up these colors.  And... may I say that I may never had the confidence to partner Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Tempting Turquoise; nope, never in a million years.  Yet, I love the results and want to dance a jig!

I'm also so pleased to tell you that I used a small handful of items to create this beauty.  oh la la!
