Julie's Creative Stamping: Quick and Easy Beauty of Friendship Card

Hello,

Hope your day is going great and thanks for stopping by my blog!

Today I am showing off a Quick and Simply card using products from the Beauty of the Earth Suite. This suite is so versatile I have designed several cards using this suite all on its own and also combining it with other stamp sets. It is one that will get you a long way on making cards!

For this card I used Beauty of Friendship Bundle (Stamps set and dies), Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, coordinating cardstock plus a few other items from our annual catalog. A full list of supplies will be listed below.

This card goes together really quick!
