I had lots of fun playing with my versatile new Hello, Lovely Set the other day. Here are a few different ideas I came up with. Enjoy!
At Leadership back in January, one of the presenters said that she liked the use of the ampersand on cards and packages because it made her think you were saying the recepient was all kinds ofwonderful things. As in, "You are lovely and talented and kind and friendly and awesome and ..." So, I used that idea on this simple, modern feel card. I think it would be great for a guy or a girl! Of course, you could use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to carefully line up the ampersands across the background, but I just free handed mine. Y'all know I'm too lazy to pull out the Stamp-a-ma-jig unless I absolutely have to!

It was really easy to create the Pool Party chevrons I used on this card. I just punched part way into a scrap of card stock with the new Hexagon Punch and then slid the card stock over a bit and punched again. Voila, a perfect chevron!

I went a little more feminine and frilly with this next card. I love the color combination and thought the ampersand after the sentiment helped to say "thank you and more!"
