I find the more I stamp the easier it is to get creative. Tip #8 of my Top 10 Ways to Get Your Stampin’ Mojo Going is to MAKE A DATE TO STAMP! Set aside a minimum of a couple hours each week of stamping “ME” time. Not only will you tap into your creative energy, you’ll de-stress in the process. You’ll love the happier YOU!
I “make a date to stamp” almost daily. However, if you are short on time, putting together a simple 3 x 3″ trio of cards can be done in less than 30 minutes! The Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Framed stamp set (a Hostess Rewards exclusive) coordinates with the Decorative Label Punch, another time saver!
ENVIE LINERS IN A SNAP! Adding an envelope liner to each Stampin’ Up! 3 1/8″ Whisper White Square Envelope is so simple with the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies. It’s just one of the 3 sizes in the Framelits collection that coordinate with Stampin’ Up! envelopes! See my personal demonstration of the liners dies HERE.
The sweet, coordinating prints for the envelope liners are from Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper. Here’s the full collection of patterns.

Darling cards, Mary – thank you for the inspiration! I am retired but some days I just cannot pull myself to the table…but now with your suggestion, I will do it! Thank you!

I totally agree Mary – “ME” time is very important. I do feel de-stressed when I am creating my cards. I love your creativity in making these 3 cards. What a nice little gift, too! Thanks Mary
