Card Making Magic and a Little Formal Wear!

Hi, Stampers!

Card Making Magic At the Art Gallery!

I can't wait to share Monday's card making ideas with you so I'm giving you a little hint today!  You've already gotten a sneak peak at our valentine project for Monday but here it is again.  I love that it's crisp and fresh with a Real Red and Whisper White color combo.

Well here's our inspiration for our second card.  I've done tux cards before but it's been awhile and I love Colleen's method of layering the white paper for the shirt pleats.  I usually use the Stripes embossing folder but I like this realistic effect.  Our card will have a birthday greeting on the front, a fabulous inside card and a bee-yoo-tee-ful and special envelope, complete with texturizing, stamping and a liner to boot!  We might as well make it over-the-top since we CAN!  :-)  You can find more of Colleen's ideas at

More soon!!  I may be venturing into the video world for my blog.  Stampin' Up has lots of terrific videos and I'm such a ham that I think I'm ready for the small stage!  Haha!!!
