As mentioned previously, I went to my first Stampin' Up! convention this year and one of the presents we received was a Workshop in a Bag.  We were given enough product to make TEN cards and how lovely, quick and special they are!  The notecards make it so easy and they come with the envelopes.  I just have to mention how beautiful our scalloped ribbon is as well.  It speaks for itself in the photo.

That is ALL you need to make this gorgeous card!  Head on over to my store and place your order:)

I received a beautiful card compliments of my friend in Maine and I just had to case it.  Hers was a "Get Well" card, but I thought sometimes friends need to know you are there for them too.  It has an actual tissue coming out of it.

Feel free to contact me if you would like to know measurements or better yet host a stamping party of your own.  It is a nice way to get the girls together and just spend a little "me" time with the ones you love.  I will say one thing….that 3D tissue box was incredibly easy to make with our new Simply Scored scoring tool;)
