Welcome to this month's Tour de Freaks blog hop! Our theme this month is "Simple to Stepped Up" which is right up my alley. It's fun to make quick and easy, simple cards, and then take the same card to the next level by stepping it up a bit. My three cards today are simple, stepped up, and almost over the top, LOL. If you arrived here from Julie's blog, Julie's Stamping Spot, howdy! Just follow the links to take the whole tour.
Since I hadn't yet played with the Band Together bundle, I thought that would be a good one to use. I really am trying to be better about using ALL the stamps I buy - it's just that there are so many pretty stamps and so little time!
For the simple card shown at the top, I stamped with Memento ink on Shimmery White cardstock, colored it with Stampin' Blends, adhered it to a Whisper White card base, and that was it - easy peasy, and a good example of a CAS card!

The stepped up card started out the same, but I added an Old Olive foil belly band (Noble Peacock Foil Sheets) and popped the greeting up on dimensionals to make it a bit more interesting.
This one has the same basic layout as the others, but this time I used the Scripty 3D embossing folder (love that thing!) on the image panel, stamped and colored an extra blossom to die cut and pop up on dimensionals, added white highlights to the petals, Old Olive rhinestones to the greeting, and adhered it to an Old Olive card base. THIS one is a little more my style (must be the bling, LOL)!
