Here's another of Pati Olson's wonderful cards!  Here are her comments...

This card made for Classy Cards 'N Such was so much fun to make. Don't you just love that peacock peeking out from behind the lattice fence? He is from the most wonderful 6x6 paper pack from Webster's Pages called Hollywood Vogue and Wonderful Fall. I have lots of plans for this super little paper pack!  The  French Pastry Doily and Exotic butterflies are made from a wonderful glossy paper. I wish it photographed as beautiful as it is but alas some things you just have to see in person! It is called Stardream Emerald and you can get it here. It comes in several colors. You will be so pleased if you try it. It is card stock weight and just sparkles.  Be sure to check out the Classy Cards 'N Such store. They have some super things and you can use my discount code Pati-10 until October 31st on your whole purchase.

A Bird Cage in a Tree

Do you ever search for just the right saying for your cards?   Search no more!  Earlier this week, I got a shipment of clear stamps from My Sentiments Exactly!   I have four sets so far - Birthday, Wedding, Sympathy and Love Mini.   None of these except Birthday are currently available as Rubz so I got them to help bridge the gap.  I think you will love the sayings as well as the elegant fonts!!   And...if you use the code STAMP10 at checkout between now and August 19th, you will receive a 10% discount on these new stamps!  More stamps, both sentiments and images, are on order from two other companies, so keep an eye on this blog and the Classy Cards 'n Such online shop.

I just got the new No More Shims from Scor-Pal!   You can see it here.

Welcome Jennipher Lowery!!!

Today is Jennipher Lowery's first post as a member of the Classy Cards 'n Such Guest Design Team!  It's a really pretty card which features some of the outline stickers in the Classy Cards 'n Such shop.   But I'll let Jennipher tell you about it...

Today's card is an example of how you can create elegant cards quickly using outline stickers and just a few other supplies. I started by creating my card base from Reich Shine Champagne cardstock. My card base is 5.5 x 4.25. Using the Labels 18 from Spellbinders and Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up, I die-cut the large and small labels. To the large label I adhered the Tulip Window gold outline sticker which I then colored in with my Copics to give it that "stained glass" look. On the smaller label, I stamped my sentiment. Both labels were inked around the edges with Gold ColorBox pigment ink. I adhered the large label to my card base and then popped up the smaller label slightly overlapping the large label. On opposite corners I added the Gothic Corners gold outline stickers for the perfect finishing touch. This was super quick and easy to make and is a great idea for when you have to mass produce "thank you" cards. To make it even faster you can leave off the Copic coloring. These outline stickers are gorgeous with or without color.

Daisies and a rose...

Linda and I each have a card to share this afternoon.  I used the Spirelli Technique from the August/September 2011 Technique Junkies newsletter.  I colored the flowers from Flourishes with Copic markers and cut them out with Spellbinders Circles and mounted on a Lacey Circle cut from Emerald cardstock.  They are mounted on pale yellow from my stash embossed with the Daisies embossing folder.   I used gold metallic thread to create the Spirella and gold outline stickers for the frame and corners.
