Got Silk? The 9 beautiful satin ribbon colors from the Occasions Mini (and continued in the Summer Mini) offer this silky and sultry Basic Gray color. Other satin ribbon colors include: Basic Black, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla and Old Olive.- Line up your brads like soldiers at attention . . . I use the Paper-Piercing Template from the Stampin' Up! Mat Pack and my Paper-Piercing Tool to plot out precise placement.

I love the idea of stamping this design on patterened paper. Wish I remembered to do it more often. Unusual color combo, very interesting.
What a simple stunning look! Love the colours!
I love it Mary. I have stamped on pattern paper and it does look nice. SU has a stamp that is a bunny that looks really cool stamped on pattern paper. You have great ideas. I love the colors too!!!!
I guess b/c the base of the card is so dark, how do you sign the card. I wasn’t sure how you signed it and the ink show up? I didn’t know if you put a piece of lighter card stock in the inside (“a box”…ha ha). I have wondered on cards that have a darker base how people do it. Hope this makes sense….
Dear Mary,
Your emails are a delight! After a hard day at work it makes me smile to open my email and look at your beautiful cards or the cards of your guest stampers. I know it must be time consuming to keep up with the postings but it is inspiring to new demonstrators like me and I thank you!

So classy Mary, as always, you are something else!
Classy color combo!
Wow! This card looks amazing! I love what you did with the flowers!
Love it Mary! The combo of the colors and accents is dynamite.
This is just simply beautiful Mary. What a great idea…I never thought to stamp on DSP! I need some creative coaching! LOL
hi, Mary.
Love the card sample. It catches the eye and holds you
there. Wow!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the inspiration.
I love it Mary…I have this set…I just might CASE. Question…Do you have a box on the inside to write in? Do you use a white gel pen? Just curious…
Miss Steph . . . I’m not 100% sure what you are asking. I have and use a white gel pen . . . but not on this card. Hugs, M
I just love this card. It is so crisp, clean and bright. Really nice combo.
Thanks for the reminder to stamp on dsp. I often get in a rut and forget to do these things; your card is gorgeous!
Very nice, Mary. Simple and elegant. Love how the flowers turn out. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
Clean and classy! Love the colors and the paper piecing!
Oooh, so pretty, Mary! I love these colors together and your flowers are stunning!
So pretty, Mary. I love the image stamped on DSP… those colors are awesome. Hugs,
Your paper piecing is divine, and that envelope is so perfect! This is modern and stunning, clean and simple. XO
And why don’t I ever stamp on DSP? The results are fabulous here for sure – love it!
Wow! Simply stunning … A great example of “less is more”!! Hugs, Andrea xxx
Beautiful color combination, and I love the paper piecing you did with these flowers!
