Stampin with the Goddess

Thank You to a Great Administrative Assistant

 

Tomorrow is Administrative Professionals Day (aka Secretary's Day for us old timers) and even though I've gotten a gift for my wonderful assistant, I still needed a little gift card to add to the package.  This cutie is a quick and simple card, which is good since I didn't have much time to work on stamping tonight.

Supplies Used (all Stampin' Up!): Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, and Rose Red card stock, Bella Rose Designer Series, Basic Gray classic ink, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red, and Regal Rose Stampin' Write Markers, Oval All stamp set, Scallop Oval and Oval punches, Kiwi Kiss striped grosgrain ribbon.

Maximize Your Dime

MAXIMIZE YOUR DIME IN ‘09

 

In these tough economic times, commentators are consistently telling us that more and more people are staying close to hearth and home.  Many families will be taking "stay-vacations" this summer rather than spending the money traveling far from home.  In addition, more and more of you are making your cards, gifts, etc.  A bit of a return to the basics.  Well, in these times, how about creating 80 cards for less than $55, or just 68¢ per card….Yes, less than $55 when you order your Maximize Your Dime card kit.
