I have another Springtime card to share today. I have also used another one of the products from the Early Release Suite, Ornate Gardens. Yesterday I used the Designer Series Paper. Today I am using the Ornate Layers Dies. At this one at a time rate, I will have used them all by the end of the month. 🙂
The Ornate Layers Dies are fabulous. The newer dies also seem to be, at least to me, sharper than the old dies. It makes for an easier release of all the little pieces. I also had a Wahoo find for the sentiment layer. The smaller of the Stitched Rectangle Dies fits perfectly inside this Ornate layer.
Here is a picture of the die I used.
The sentiment is the only stamp I used from the Free As A Bird set, but I believe it is a great one for so many people during this unusual situation. From the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper, I used two different sheets. They are layered on a piece of Whisper White, and then onto a piece of So Saffron to match the Ornate Layer.
I used the Braided Burlap Trim to ground the sentiment and join the two pieces of DSP. It also gives a little nod to the bird colors.
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you find some crafting time over the weekend, or whatever you can do to relax.

Stampin’ Up! has a new Early Release Product Suite that I wanted to share with you. I know if you are on the internet you have seen several projects from other demonstrators using this suite. It is gorgeous and I wanted to share and quick card I made using the Designer Series Paper that is included in this suite. You know I love the Stampin’ Up! DSP !
Before we get to the card, here is the flyer for the suite of products.
And here is the card I have made.
There are gorgeous and very detailed dies as part of the Ornate Garden Suite of products. However, I had it in my mind to use the Perfectly Framed sentiment. And since that stamp set pairs with the Ornate Frames Dies that carried over from the Holiday Catalog, I decided to go with my original plan.
When I first saw this Designer Series paper, I thought of the two daisy stamp sets that are in the Annual Catalog. I looked at both and thought the Daisy Lane stamp set was a perfect match. The angled daisy matches the daisy in the DSP.
I layered my card with colors from the DSP. I know that is a big shock to you!! I always do that. I chose the Old Olive as the card base and then went with Rococo Rose for the coordinating color. The DSP says it is Terracotta Tile, but I found that the Rococo Rose was a perfect match as well. I used the Rococo Rose stampin’ Blends to color the daisy on the sentiment band.
Thank you for stopping in today. Let’s all pray that this virus is over quicker than expected and we can all take back our lives. I love staying inside and crafting, but I know there are many people feeling huge hardships from this.

I have a quick #simplestamping card to share with you today. I was playing with the Follow Your Art Designer Series paper for a different project and had the idea for this card.
This is such gorgeous designer series paper. I love this sheet especially. The little cross band is a piece from this pack as well.
The sentiment and flowers are from Parcel & Petals stamp set. I stamped off with the flowers before stamping on the paper. I love the sentiment itself so wanted it to be front and center.
I pulled all of the colors from the DSP . They are Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, and Daffodil Delight.
Thank you for stopping in today. We may prefer the more layered or dimensions to a card, but I think it is nice to just sit down for a quick break to make one as well. This card is a great way to use some of the leftover or retired designer series paper.

Today is the last day of Sale-A-Bration. I am sad to see these great products, that we can earn FREE, going away. Double check your wish lists and see if you need just one more order today!
I have a cute Easter Fun Fold to share today. I also have my first ever Video!!!!! I have said several times in my posts that I would do a video for some cards and I never had. Well, now I have. I hope you will let me know what you think. I still need to get some lighting so I do not have the shadows. I know I am my worst critic, but please share your thoughts.
The Easter Fun Fold is using the Welcome Easter stamp set and SAB Small Blooms punch as well as the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper.
Base card is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, scored at 2 1/4 and 6 1/4 (It ends up as 5 1/2 X 4 instead of 4 1/4)
NOTE: The two “flaps” are the same measurements, it does not matter which you choose as the top.
Front flap bases are 5 1/4 X 2 ( you need 2)
Front DSP is 5 X 1 3/4 ( you need 2)
Inside card is 3 1/2 X 4 3/4
When securing bottom flap to hold inside card, lay the card in place before peeling off the Tear & Tape to secure the flap. This ensures you have room to easily slide the card in and out. If you are adding a gift card, lay it down there as well prior to securing.
Thank you for stopping in today. If you have any questions, please let me know. I would be happy to assist you.

Reminder: There are only today and tomorrow left in Sale-A-Bration!! There are some great items left that you can get Free of charge with a qualifying order.
For today’s card, I am focusing on two items from Sale-A-Bration. They are the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the matching Lily Impressions Designer Series paper. The paper is absolutely gorgeous. I love bright colors and the paper has several bright colors in it.
The DSP is the star of the card, and I loved being able to pair Granny Apple Green with the Blackberry Bliss. As I said at the beginning, I adore this Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment layer is a mix of a water lily from the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the Thank You from Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. The stamps in the Lovely Lily Pad are dual sided. So the flat side is the shading and the raised side is the definition. I stamped the lily pad with the background of Pool Party, and the definition in Bermuda Bay. The same works for the lily itself. The background is Flirty Flamingo and the definition is Lovely Lipstick. I think that is an awesome method to get the perfect shading to a stamp.
My prior planning did not work out for the sentiment layer. I had planned to use a certain die to cut out the lily and Thank You. It did not fit after I had stamped everything. Then I could not find one that I did like. So I turned to my paper snips and just free form cut it out. I was not too unhappy with the result. I believe the abstract of the DSP lends a help there!
Thank you for stopping by today. Double check your wish list and see if there is a need for another order before the Free items are gone for another year.
