Stampin' Up! Presto Patterns Specialty Paper

I just love the new Presto Patterns Specialty Paper by Stampin' Up! It is 12" x 12" white paper with white embossing. It comes in a package of 12 single sided sheets (2 of each pattern) for $11.95.
You can add ink with a brayer, a sponge, or an Aquapainter™. The embossed pattern resists the ink.

On this card (that I CASE'd) I used a sponge to add Certainly Celery and Tempting Turquoise Classic ink to the Presto paper. The flower was made with the Floral Fusion Sizzlet™; the leaves were cut with the Little Leaves Sizzlet. The butterfly was embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and sponged with Tempting Turquoise.
The great thing about this paper is it can
be inked to coordinate with any project!

The Smooch Spritz™ also works great on this paper!

Another Quick & Inexpensive Gift

Here is another quick gift for Christmas or any occasion. You could also give a tin of Christmas thank you cards to be used after Christmas. I decorated yet another skinny tin; this time with note cards to match. It is hard to tell in the photo but behind the cards are envelopes that have been stamped. I didn't want the cards to be too "bumpy" so they would fit in the tin so I just wrapped the ribbon around without tying. These note cards are smaller than the regular A2 quarter fold cards but they are a great bargain. For only $5.95 you get 20 cards and envelopes. Four cards and envelopes fit nicely inside the decorated tin. I think I will make several sets of these in different colors to have on hand as a quick gift. You could sneak a little cash inside, place them inside a basket with some lotion & body spray or just give them alone.
