Hello Stampin’ Friends ~ Let me wish any guys out there a “Happy Father’s Day” and a Happy Sunday to all of you. Today I have some great cards for you … If you are looking for some unique, pretty and simple ways to make cards, I have the answer for you today ….

Get yourself the “Create with Friends” stamp set, a package of “Expressions in Ink” Designer Series paper, and a package of “Guilded Gems” and you’ll be ready to create cool, quick cards!

Don’t you just love the pretty patterns of this paper, oooooh … then add gold and it’s irresistible. Now it’s time for the “Create with Friends” stamp set …

Now it’s time to get stampin’ and combine the two together … the hardest part will be deciding which one of the beautiful papers you want and what greeting you’d like on it. Maybe you want to send a card to a special friend, you can combine the stamps to create your own greeting …

I used Polished Pink cardstock and ink to coordinate with my designer paper. The watercolor splits perfectly in the center so you can highlight your greeting. It’s so pretty and so easy! #simplestamping

Let’s continue with another pattern, this time the designer paper was cut so the exposed area is on the side … a perfect place for our greeting.

I thought it would be pretty to emboss my greeting in gold to highlight the gold that is laced through the watercolor design of the paper. I think this card is perfect for birthday’s, a graduation, a new job … anything! On both cards I have decided to use the Gilded Gems, not only to coordinate but to add more depth and texture to the cards. They are way prettier than they appear on the cards.

I’m so happy you stopped by today to take a look. I hope you are having a wonderful day… Thank you.
