New Catalog Favorite ~ Jar of Love

I finally received my box of new catalog goodies yesterday...and just in time as my card night is TONIGHT, so I have been busy getting my four cards ready for everyone to create. My challenge was to create all four cards using the new stamp sets and goodies I ordered. So fun, but lots of work on a time crunch!

My NEW favorite that I am looking forward to playing with even more is the set called Jar of Love. This set comes with SO MANY stamps! And, even better?! It comes with coordinating Framelits called Everyday Jars.

To help me with my card making mojo, I used this week's Freshly Made Sketches #240.

SSINK Card Sketch - April

Last Tuesday was one of my monthly card nights and I had some cards to plan, so I needed a little bit of inspiration. For one of the cards I used the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration April Card Sketch to help me put together a card that the ladies would love (I know many of them love purple and butterflies!)

Quick & Easy with Washi Tape!

I needed one more card for my monthly card making night last night and since my first three cards had a few more extra steps, I knew that my fourth card needed to be a little more simple. So as I went into planning mode for this card I knew it needed to be QUICK & EASY! 

{We are sharing quick and easy cards over at the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration, so head on over to see some more designs you can put together in a snap!}

To help with my design, I headed over to Freshly Made Sketches for their sketch of the week (FMS174). Once I saw it, I KNEW it was going to help me put together my quick and easy card!

When I saw that diagonal stripe, I instantly thought of WASHI TAPE! Washi tape is the perfect embellishment you can use to create a quick card...and it goes such a long way! The best part is that you can fold the ends of the washi tape over the edges of the card. Voila! Hidden and no need for scissors to trim off the ends!
