Sneak Peak #3 - Just a Note

Here is another little sneak peak of new product!   I made this fast and simple 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" card  with the new Lucy Level 2 Paper Pack (X7149B).  I have to admit, the Lucy paper was not at the top of my list for the 8 new paper packs but when I got pack I had to change my mind!  It is so pretty!  This shows only one of 6 beautiful designs included in the pack.


The stamp is from the new set - Card Word Puzzle (C1494).  I love this set!  It has 4 different flower stamps (I used two here), a butterfly, a leaf and over 50 words that you can put together to make your own original phrase!  I used "Just A Note" for this card.   I used blending pen with Cotton Candy and Pear ink to color my flower.  I added the Sweet Leaf Stitched Grosgrain ribbon and Pearl Opaque Adhesive Gems.    The card pattern is Corner Shop from Jeanette Lynton's How To Book for cards - Originals.

I'm going to enter this card into 2 challenges....
Crazy 4 Challenges - Layer it on.  This card has lots of layers.  The other challenge is Friday Mash Up - Use Something New in Your Stash.  I did't get a chance to use the sketch to 'mash it up' but I did use all new products in my stash!   Be sure to check out both blogs!

Be sure to come back Sunday night and hop on our New Product Blog Hop.  Over 25 consultants will be showcasing something new from our 2012 Spring Summer Idea Book that goes live on February 1!

Now, I want to share with a cute way to make a gift card holder!  I used the Artiste Cricut Cartridge to make this holder.  It was very simple!  The Cricut cuts the card and it folds so that you can slip a gift card inside! I set the cricut to cut at 5".  I recycled an old gift card so my card is a little thick. This size worked well.   If inserting a regular card you can use 4 3/4" measurement.  "Merry Christmas" is also cut using the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  I set the measurement to 2".               To re
