Aloha, all!
Simply Sent Card Kits provide just about the easiest way for anyone to make a quick card! The only thing that you need beyond the kit itself is a couple of stamps and some ink.
One of the kits in the current (2011-2012) Stampin' Up Idea Book and Catalog has just about the prettiest cards that I can remember!
The set about which I'm writing today is that very set, and it's called the Everyday Elegance kit. I cannot believe the gorgeous laser cut design on the bottom front of this card! And it's very effective whether the card is opened or closed. This card features the Baja Breeze color, and already has the printed graphic design on the front. The label on which the "Thanks" sentiment is stamped also comes with the kit, and it's a Self-Adhesive Die Cut Label. That means no adhesive is needed! Of course, I had to get fancy with this, so I added a piece of the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper that I had laying out on my table (have I mentioned that I have a hard time learning to put stuff away before I start on the next project??). I also added two Basic Rhinestone Jewels to spiff the card up even more! The stamp set from which the sentiment is taken is designed to go with this Simply Sent Kit; it's called Everyday Wishes, and will retire at the end of this month.
Here is the other card that's in this Simply Sent Kit. For this card, I stuck entirely with what's included in the kit and the complementary stamp set. See – no additions, and it's still a lovely card!
One additional note: BOTH of these cards may be used in either Portrait or Landscape orientation. I showed one of each so you could see how that works out!

I hope that by the time this blog post goes live this kits is still available – because I know it will be something you'd love to have some fun with before it goes away! I know I've been having fun with mine! For one thing, while I'm on airplanes – and I've been on a lot of them this month! – I like to take the "down" time to write notes to my friends. This is a perfect set of cards to use for this!
