When I first saw this stamp set I thought elegant, education, sophisticated and then…. what the heck am I going to create with it? Then I saw the Simply Elegant paper and knew these two would tie together for a fantastic elegant card. I thought this Path to Greatness is Simply Elegant for a male or female. Notice I used the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon and tied a knot, not a bow. This allows the card to stay elegant for a male or female I think.
I like the look of stamping the image on top of a more solid looking DSP.

Stamp N Storage Organization
I am asked a lot about my craft room organization. I 100% LOVE all of the storage pieces I have from Stamp N Storage. Although my husband did create my stamp shelf, Stamp N Storage also has shelves for your stamps. They also have a couple of different storage solutions for the new Stampin’ Up Blending Brushes. Don’t forget to check out the punch storage too.
I am asked often about my magnetic cards and pouches. Click on this link(s) below and it will take you through my affiliate link directly to the product. They have awesome ink pad, paper, punch and ribbon holders too, among many other amazing products.
I watch a lot of your videos on YouTube, and have learned a lot as a new demonstrator. One day I was watching and you announced a paper share coming out with the new catalog. That was the first I had heard of a paper share and I joined. Now I have my sampling of papers. I really enjoyed your YT video on gorgeous sunflower with watercolor background. Thanks for inspiring me.
Thank you so much for writing and letting me know. I appreciate that and it means a lot. I hope you do some fabulous things with the paper. I’ll be doing another one with the new catalog. Be on the lookout for the announcement.
