I'm featuring the lovely Very Versailles stamp set.  It's another one of those sets you may not have missed in the catalogue.

There was a reason for the title of my post - and it's because of what I used for each card, going from quick & easy to stepped up.  Two cards are pictured below, and the 3rd is in the YouTube video linked below.

Here's the quick & easy card! 

I used:

Paper - Whisper White Thick
Ink - Sahara Sand, Mossy Meadow
Tools - 1" punch

My second card - a bit stepped up

I used:

Paper - Mint Macaron, Whisper White, Basic Black, Garden Lane DSP

Stampin' Up! Amazing Life - Kylie's International Blog Hop Top 10

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by today!  I thank you for your votes, which put me into the Top Ten, and into this International Blog Hop!

My project today is a birthday card, that is quick & easy to make, even for new stampers!

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardstock base & layer.  I ran the layer through the Big Shot in the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is just lovely!   Before adhering the layer, I added some Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

Here's the Country Floral Dynamic TIEF

The stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate, then felt I needed a bit more.  That's when I noticed the sweet little butterflies in one of my fave sets - Needle & Thread.  How cute are they stamped in Flirty Flamingo!!

Did you know you can save 10% by selecting the Amazing Life Bundle? A fun stamp set AND Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies are a must-have for your crafting!!

I die cut the sentiment layer using one of the Layering Circles Dies.  These dies are awesome, and I'll tell you why!  Because it's a circle, you simple can't stamp crooked!  Yup - awesome!

Using my Stitched Shapes Framelit, I die cut the layer in Smoky Slate.  

Once assembled, I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels.  And there you have it - a quick & easy card!

Here's the card so many of you voted on, which I really appreciate.

Thank you again for stopping by!
