Stampin' Up! Burlap Ribbon Cards
Using burlap ribbon in cards Stampin' Up! style is a fun way to add texture to your projects. I have received several different burlap ribbon cards recently and wanted to share some of them with you. Burlap has been a popular trend for some time so I'm glad we can include it in our cards too.
Kathie Rotti make this card using Stampin' Up!'s By The Tide, Perfect Pennants and Hardwood stamps. Pool Party and Brown Sugar are a wonderful color combination. In addition to the burlap ribbon, she also used the Natural Chevron ribbon from the Occasions catalog.
Janet Holmes was quite creative in the way she used the burlap ribbon. See the threads under the button? Janet unraveled some ribbon and used the threads. That way you get the color and texture without the bulk.
Kim Judice made this card using Stampin' Up!'s So Very Grateful stamp set and the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper.
The next 2 cards are a wonderful example of serendipity. While it wasn't planned, two of us used the same basic layout. You can see how to make different cards by changing out the colors and stamp sets. Michelle made this first card using Apothecary Art.
This was my Leadership 2014 swap card using the Lots of Thanks stamp set and Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up!'s Happenings Simply Created Card Kit
One of our make and takes at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership 2014 was the Happenings Simply Created Kit which is a wonderful way to make some quick and easy cards. The kit comes with everything you need to make 15 notecards except adhesive and a sentiment stamp set. At Leadership, we made these cards were made using the Thanks and Hello stamp set.
I have to confess that this was one of the items in the Occasions catalog that didn't look all that exciting in the catalog. The actual cards are much cuter in person. I plan to buy a second kit. It's the perfect way to make some quick thank you and thinking of you cards.
This Stampin' Up! video shows you everything that comes with the kit and gives you some simple instructions for making the cards. In the video they used the Says It All stamp set (133173 $10.95). Just about any sentiment stamps will work as long as they fit on the white banner.
