Always Creative, Always Fun Folds!

It's Saturday, but with the holiday, it feels like Sunday. My creative energy was high as I spent the afternoon in my stamp room. I needed quiet after a successful craft fair yesterday!
Here's what I made:

It's a Spring Fold Card. I got the tutorial from Splitcoaststampers. You can check it out here.
Stamps: Always
Ink: White Craft Ink
Paper: Almost Amethyst Prints Designer Series Paper, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White.
Embellishments: Pretties Kit, White Embossing Powder, Mini Glue Dots

This is not my usual style, but it was fun to make. In fact, this is the first time I used the Pretties Kit I bought in May. (I can hear a collective gasp from the readers). Every time I went to use it, the bling just didn't look right, so I put it away. Today, it just seemed right.

But that's not the whole story. When I first saw it, I knew what I wanted to do. I thought this would be a cool way to create an invitation for my annual Hostess Appreciation Party! If you get one of these:

in the mail in the next week or so, you're invited to this event on August 10th. My hostesses will be pampered with sweet treats, a special project, a sneak peak of the new Fall-Winter Idea Book and Catalog, and FUN!

Happy Stamping!
