I do love a good deal!!

Well, hey there y'all!  I have some serious questions to ask you today!  Do you love paper?  Do you appreciate all the colors and textures and beautiful patterns? Do get excited at the thought of a new paper pack?  Are you like me and have oodles of the flat, fun stuff?!!  I must admit I loooooove paper!!  I love collecting it and leafing through it and using it on all sorts of fun projects!!  I used to be a serious paper hoarder, but I am trying really hard to get better about using up my stash! (Which let's be honest...means I can replenish it!)  I loooooove paper!!  (Did I mention?!) 

Good news!!  Stampin' Up! is having a super, duper don't wanna miss it paper sale!!  For the entire month of July you can buy 3 packs and get a fourth for FREEEEE!!  They know exactly how to whisper those paper loving sweet nothings to me!  My project today uses paper from a stack that I got for free! Take a look:

I made a sweet little card and a matching envelope!

My card base is Pineapple Punch and my layers are Garden Impressions 6" x 6" paper and Very Vanilla.

I stamped the sentiment from the Courage of Hope stamp set in Call Me Clover and cut it out using the Layered Circles Framelits set.  I cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the same Framelits set to mat the circle onto.  I hand cut some rectangles to mount both circles on and to add some visual interest. Finally, I fussy cut one of the flowers from the DSP and added it on with a Dimensional.

I made a matching envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.  I started with a 6" x 6" square and scored it at 2 5/8" and then followed the instructions on the board.  It made a perfectly sized envie that measured 3" x 4".

Here they are together.  The paper is double sided so the inside of the envelope is just as pretty as the outside!  Win, win!

Here are all of the goodies that I used today to make my card and envelope:

Ok, I am off to work on my To Do list.  I hope you have a wonderful day!  I will be back soonest with more to share!
