STAMPIN' UP!'S "BIG TOP BIRTHDAY" PAPERS

The new "Big Top Birthday" Designer Series Papers, from Stampin' Up!, are a surprise favourite of mine.  I love the bold, bright colours, and gorgeous designs.  This is really quite an admission from someone who is not a circus fan, and has a downright dislike for clowns!!

Some of the papers have large designs, that would be great for scrapbooking.  Since I'm not a scrapbooker, I thought I'd show you how easy it is to make cards with little effort - letting the paper do all the work.  I was inspired by some cards made by my friend Tina.  By adding a few little embellishments, and a stamped sentiment, I was able to create some pretty cute and happy cards in next-to no time.
