I hope that you will see the humor in today’s card. If you have followed me for very long, you will know that I love animals. When I first saw the new dog and cat stamp sets (Happy Tails and Nine Lives) in the Occasions Catalog, there was never a question of would I purchase them. I got them as quickly as I could. I love the stamps, but the sentiments are fabulous as well.
My favorite sentiment is the paw print, and next is “Keep Calm and Wag On” . We have had several dogs over the years and the last two were Labs. And they wag ALL The Time!!! So that was my beginning to this card.
Happy Tails Bundle, 150631
I really hope the tails look like they are wagging!!! At least that is my intention. Sometimes my vision doesn’t always work for others.
To make my wagging tail, I stamped and punched out the puppy. I then stamped two more tails on scrap paper and fussy cut them. I used glue dots to place them and then layered the puppy over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This one made me smile and I hope it did you as well. I have listed all of the supplies at the bottom of the post. Please consider the join promotion going on now.

It is made of a great heavy weight canvas. And it is so Pretty!!
I hope you have looked at the new releases from Sale-A-Bration. Plus, the Organdy Ribbon was restocked and is available, while supplies last! But one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration sets is the Part of My Story stamp set. I really love the sentiments. For today’s card I have mixed some Annual Catalog products with that stamp set.
Part of My Story, 149719
I LOVE this sentiment! I feel this way about so many people and I believe it would make for an “anytime” type card. Or as a pick me up type card. Did you notice the new punch with the sentiment? It is the new release companion products to SAB. It is the Story Label Punch. Another great Punch, YAY!!
The stamp set I used is the Love What You Do stamp set from the Annual Catalog. It is a favorite just because of the simplicity. And I don’t think you can go wrong with a flower over a soft background. The splatter is a technique of flicking the tip of a Stampin’ Write Marker with the inside of it’s lid. It takes just a bit of careful practice and you will love it.
For this card I paired Powder Pink and Poppy Parade. I wasn’t sure at first but I am happy with the finished product. I do love playing around with all of the Stampin’ Up! colors. I am often surprised at what looks good together. To add to the colors, the Ombre Ribbon is actually Calypso Coral! Surprise 🙂
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you will come back tomorrow for a new project.

The title of today’s post may be a bit misleading. I was hoping for sunshine as I made the card I am sharing with you. I am ready to see some blue skies and sunshine! We have had rain for several days. I know there are people up north who have a lot of snow and freezing conditions. I am certain they would like some sunshine as well.
My little touch of Spring and sunshine is in a fairly simple card. I used the Incredible Like You stamp set. The card is made with only stamps from that set. I love to do this sometimes. It shows how well the sets can work alone. Plus this set has some really sweet sentiments.
Incredible Like You, 148708
For this card I used shades of green and shades of yellow. The flower is a Two Step flower. The base color is Daffodil Delight and the definition layer is Mango Melody. The greens are Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzaz. The Old Olive Linen Thread (which is super nice!!!) was a last minute addition and sort of covers the bit of whimsical stripes I had placed on that end.
I did add a butterfly from the Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper Botanical Butterfly for a little added texture and pop. The DSP is still available even though the Butterfly punch is out of stock at the minute. Truthfully the butterflies are very easy to fussy cut, but the Butterfly punch is going to carry over to the next Annual Catalog. That is only a couple of months away! Wow, time is flying!! Get the Designer Paper now and FREE during SAB, then you will have it when the punch is available again. You cannot beat FREE products.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend and will return on Monday. And as always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

Sunday afternoon I spent a bit of time making several cards. I realized once I finished that I had done quite a bit of coloring with the Stampin’ Blends. I do love to color. Especially when I have enough time to really enjoy it. In that situation it is rather relaxing and I like to see the completed project.
For this card I broke out the Sale-A-Bration set Lovely Lattice. I went with soft colors, sort of. The coloring is done in soft colors, but the card base is BRIGHT! You know me, I love Bright. See what you think.
Lovely Lattice, 149730
I layered the DSP so that there is not a lot of the base card, but just enough to blend with the center of the flowers. The base is Pineapple Punch card stock. I was afraid to go with Daffodil Delight in that it might just fade away.
I really enjoyed coloring the flowers here. More so than I thought I would. I got to practice my blending of the two shades of Stampin’ Blends. It seems odd to me though. The two shades show less blended in the photo than in real life. Hhmmmm…….
I almost forgot to mention the stamped image. I know it has been stressed that we should use the Memento Ink to stamp the image that we are going to use the Stampin’ Blends on so that it does not bleed through. But….Stampin’ Up! did a video when the Blends were first debuting, that you can do a “No Line Coloring”. Or a similar look as that. It was done by stamping in the color you were going to color with. Well, for today’s card, I stamped in Smokey Slate. I wanted it to have a softer look than the Black of Memento Ink. I was thinking soft, Victorian, romantic, etc. So I tried it and it worked wonderfully! I hope you will give it a try as well.
Anyway, thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will let me know your method for blending the shades. And please return tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop! I cannot wait to see all the beautiful projects.
A NOTE about yesterday’s post: I used a Paper Pumpkin stamp set on yesterday’s card. You can see it HERE if you missed it.

Today I am sharing with you a Paper Pumpkin Kit card. At least the stamps are from the February Paper Pumpkin Kit. I did not use the cards provided. I do not normally share these because if I have received mine, then it is too late for you to sign up to receive it as well.
If you are not familiar with Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up!, it is a monthly subscription and you receive a box that you open to discover the month’s surprise project. Usually they are cards. Occasionally they are some type of treat holder. The January PP was a kit with quite a few pillow box treat holders that you decorate ( all decorations included). Also, you receive one or more Stampin’ Spots of ink. These are mini stamp pads. Hint: if you collect a number of these, they are perfect for use with the Stamparatus! Or you can purchase the “Uninked spots” available in the Annual Catalog.
Anyway, I totally fell in love with this month’s kit and especially a few of the sentiments. The one I used is probably an all time favorite sentiment. Here is my card.
Gingham Gala 6X6 DSP, 148554
Is that not just about the best sentiment ever? “You’re The Reason I Smiled Today”. That just makes me smile to say it. Maybe I am just being crazy with the rain and needed to smile!
The February Kit is about succulents. This Succulent in a cup was just screaming to be colored. And I had to use that sentiment, so here we are. If you have any questions about Paper Pumpkin, please contact me. It is a great way to get started as a new stamper. I also know several people who bought the kit for themselves and a friend who lives away. They Skype or FaceTime and put the kits together at the same time. I love that idea!
The Paper Pumpkin link is on my Shopping page at the bottom, or my Demonstrator Page under events. Or, you can get to my Paper Pumpkin link by clicking (This takes you to the protons and SAB is first, Paper Pumpkin is a just a bit further down the page) Click Here For Paper Pumpkin
Thank you for visiting today! I know this was a bit different in that you cannot purchase the stamped image or the sentiment. But you can purchase the other pieces I used. That list is at the bottom of the page.

I am playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #306 today. Brian King was who inspired this sketch. Of course, I had to give it a try. My first thought after seeing the sketch was that the Frogs would be perfect. Here is my card.
Part of My Story, 149719
Here is the sketch I am CASEing:
As I said above, I decided on the frog from Hoppy Together, A SAB stamp set, right away, and then the Lemon Lime Gingham was a perfect match. But I could not find the sentiment that seemed to be “Just Right”. Then I ran across the Part of My Story stamp set, another SAB item, and new I had found the correct sentiment. “I’m So Glad You Are a Part of My Story” is one that I loved the minute I saw it. It makes me think of dear friends, loved ones, and especially the friends and family we can just be our super silly self with. The perfect pairing for the crazy frog!!
Other than finding the perfect match, the card was super quick and easy. I stamped in Tuxedo Black and colored the frog with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I love that you can see a touch of the Gingham check through the coloring. It adds a bit of dimension to his body.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return tomorrow for a another new project. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.
