Hello Everyone,

After much research on Pinterest, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and Google, I have finally come up with a project to give to my friends at my first official business launch workshop. I decided to create this cute little notepad cover from a combination of Tranquil Tulips ( New Hostess Set) and Colorful Seasons stamp set. These new sets a will be featured in the new Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog and can be ordered June 1st.

I must say, it took me a few hours to come up with the design.  I was having a hard time trying to figure out not only the layout but after gluing the piece of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock and looking at my limited paper supply, I finally came up with this creation.

I didn’t decorate the inside but there is a little pocket on the from side of the cover. I think this would make a beautiful card as well. I really love the effect that using a  two-step stamp provides.

I used the following to create this card:
