Welcome to another Two For Tuesday! I was stamping like a crazy woman this weekend getting ready for my Convention Demo, and this is one of the cards I was made. This one using the Playful Pieces hostess stamp set is a reject…. I like it, but it's not really what I was going for….BUT! I thought it was a great layout that is super versatile, so I sat down to use the layout again.

Here is the second card I came up with, using that Vintagy-shabby-chic look that I'm not too good at. What do you think? Anything you would have added or changed?
Another reason I LOVE Stampin’ Up is because you can DECORATE using your projects! The first photo shows a project I made awhile ago, remember this post HERE? I added the Valentine coffee cup candle to my 3-tier tray and it fits perfectly with the theme! This tiered tray is one of my favorite decorating. Trendy Trees by Stampin up with Kiwi Kiss card stock; Love Bandit birthday card by Stampin up for Ellie. Love Bandit and Occassional Quotes + Perfect Punch. I received 2 blog awards. Now how cool is that! Only 6 more weeks to order from the Stampin up Min. Wedding card by Stampin up; Stampin up: Friends never fade + Daffodil Delight.
I just changed the orientation of the first card, used a strip of the Newsprint Designer Series Paper and embellished it up.
I would love to see what you come up with using this same layout.
Here is a close up of the torn and rolled edge:
Here's a fun tip:
I used Cajun Craze cardstock to back the Newsprint DSP, but I knew I was going to need a 5 Petal Flower Punch of the same color…so, I punched it before adhering the Newsprint DSP over it to hid the punch!

Stampin Up Occasion Quotes
The ‘All a Flutter’ single butterfly stamp (shown below at actual size) is available only until the end of the month in the Summer Mini Catalog. It has amazing detail that is just crazy fun for someone like me who loves to color. And all that HAPPINESS for only $6.95!!!
And another MUST HAVE new accessory are all of the latest embossing folders but especially the ‘Elegant Lines’ embossing folder for the Sizzix Big Shot.
The card itself is Vanilla, and the panel on top is just shy of a quarter sheet embossed in Elegant Lines and adhered back onto the cardfront. The butterflies were stamped in Vanilla and colored in with my Aquapainter and watercolor crayons, cut out and adhered with Dimensionals for a 3D effect.
Another ‘must have’ set is this year’s level 3 set ‘Occasional Quotes.’
