Prego cards

I did about 15 cards this weekend! These cards are pregnancy cards. There are 4 here. I sit back and look at these and even though it's the same stamp, changing the hair, skin and clothes colors really makes the cards look different. Having the tools rather than the stamp sets is so much more important. You can take a really great stamp set and make them look completely different with the right tools!

When I decide to build my business (not yet, I am having way to much fun and the timing just isn't right for me), I will definitely show my customers just what I discovered. Tools are where it's at! With all the great tools in the Stampin' Up! arsenal, you can make such beautiful things with few stamp sets.

Isn't it amazing. Yes, all the cards are similar but they are all different! I have even more cards to post... holy cow! I was a busy girl. I am not sure if I will post more today or not... probably later on tonight, will be the next time I will get to post. I am working on 4 hours of sleep so who knows when I will wake up... LOL
