For the second card using the You’ve Got This stamp set, I used almost the same products plus some DSP. I added the Delightful Daisy DSP, another favorite. It works perfectly with both the Peekaboo Peach, and Night of Navy (yesterday was Dapper Denim).
You’ve Got This, 139575
When I use DSP, I like to put a layer between it and the base layer. I don’t want it to fade into the base. Instead of Dapper Denim, I went with Night of Navy due to the little pieces of it in the floral DSP. Other than that, I used the same inks and ribbon. I left off the glitter dots from yesterday. I think the bow is more than enough for the decoration. As I said yesterday, this ribbon is a dream to work with. My bling for this card is that I went over the entire flower with Clear Wink of Stella. In person it adds quite a bit of shimmer.
I hope you like today’s card. It has more layers and a bit different layout. I hope I have I have given you pause in considering some of these retiring items. Please place your orders soon to insure that you get the items you want. You can click on any of the items and be taken directly to my online store, or click on the Shop button at the top of the page.

A card for Spring is what I have today. Flowers, birds and a sweet sentiment. I am trying to use my designer series paper that will be retiring. Plus, I love the springtime feel of this Daisy Delight DSP.
Flying Home, 145929
I adore this stamp set, Flying Home, and am sad to see it retiring. I have used it several times, but this is the first time I have focused on the birds and nest. The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage stamp set. I thought it went well with the Mama Bird and her babies.
As I mentioned in the beginning, I love this DSP but I also wanted to give the card some more texture. I looped Linen Thread under the bird’s nest and then a loop of Burlap Ribbon comes from beneath the sentiment. It gives some depth and texture and plays off of the nest. I am trying to expand on my normal cards a bit.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I greatly appreciate your visits and comments. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

This card is “amazingly” simple and quick! Did you catch that? It actually is true. Other than cleaning the stamp to change colors, it is a couple of stampings and done. Take a look and you decide .
Amazing You, 147215
Do you see what I mean? This was so quick that multiples of it would be a piece of cake. I simply stamped the Heartfelt Blooms stamp in Smoky Slate, cleaned it, and then stamped in Night of Navy. The “Amazing” is the thinlit die from Celebrate You Thinlits. I did use the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet, which turns the words into a sticker. A definite Must Have in your tool box of supplies. No more making a mess with glue for detailed dies. WooHoo !!
I do have to admit to CASEing this from a card I found in my swap box. It came from one of the ladies in my Stamp Club in one of our swaps. I love going through these occasionally. They are perfect for giving inspiration.
The center of the flower is the White Perfect Accents. It fit “perfectly” (wow, I am on a roll today) with the muted tone of the Smoky Slate. And a tip for you: you can color these with the Stampin’ Blends to get any color accessory that you need. How awesome is that? To finish off this cute card I added the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon with just a little knot.

I met with my monthly card club yesterday and we made a card with the wonderful Stamparatus. I believe it was a hit! I showed the versatility of the design of the Stamparatus by doing a 3 step stamp. We used the Amazing Congratulations stamp set from the Occasion Catalog. None of the other stamp positioning tools are able to do a three step stamp without removing stamps. Due to the two plates , you can use three or even four stamps with no problem. One of the many reasons I LOVE the Stamparatus !!
Amazing Congratulations, 145938
I love the variegated look of the stamps as well as the outline. The ladies commented how many occasions this card could be used for. (babies, weddings, etc.) I love that it is quick, easy, simple, and most of all pretty.
As I mentioned at the top, having the two stamping plates made this card work perfectly. I placed one of the partial congratulations on one side and the other on the opposite side. By turned the plate around it lined up without being in the way. On the second plate I placed the outline and the “to my friend” stamp just below it. It was especially easy to align with the photopolymer stamp set. Woohoo!!
A Stamparatus Tip:
I saw this somewhere else and I apologize to whoever it was that I cannot give them credit! .. Because the Congratulations is almost as long as the card, you would need to place a shim up against the left hand hinge area to get a clear stamped image. To alleviate this, I cut a piece of SU grid paper to fit the inside of the Stamparatus. I then aligned my white card stock in the top/center of the Stamparatus. By taking a pencil and marking the bottom corners, I could then easily place the next piece of card stock in the correct place. Easy Peasy for making multiples.
Special Mention: The Stampin’ Up! Grid Paper. Oh My!! I hope you use the SU grid paper. A pad of it lasts what seems like forever. It is a great “PAD” for cushioning the stamping with photopolymer. It has a built in ruler. And the grid marks have a 101 uses. I find myself finding new uses all the time. I could do a blog post on just all the uses for this item. And now is a great time to add the additional item to get you to the next SAB item!!
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you liked this card and my tips. Please come back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop. It is a Spring Theme.

I am feeling the Spring in the air today. So I have made another flowery card. Once the Daffodils begin blooming, I start looking for other flowers (and my antihistamines!). The one for today is a quick and easy card using the Blooms & Wishes stamp set from the Annual Catalog.
Blooms & Wishes, 141784
The sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. Instead of adding a layer in the center with the sentiment, I cut an oval using the Layering Ovals Framelits. I cut the oval from copy paper and used a repositionable adhesive to hold it in place while I stamped. How easy is that?
My colors were mostly from the Brights Collection, with a couple of Enamel Shapes added in. A quick and easy card the could have such a variety of uses.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed my bright springtime card. Please let me know if you have any questions. I love to hear from you. The supplies I used are at the bottom of the post.

The Amazing You and Celebrate You in the Sale-A-Bration catalog are both fabulous items. They work wonderfully together or seperatly . I have joined them on today’s card.
Celebrate You Thinlits, 146840
The Amazing You stamp set is free with a $50.00 order and the Celebrate You Thinlits are free with a $100.00 order. I know that for me, meeting these order qualifications was not at all difficult to do! HaHa…. I hope seeing them together will excite you about getting one or both of them.
I was trying to do a different layout for today’s card, and I did manage that. I also rarely use all Subtle family colors. I may use one and pair it with a Bright or Regal, but this is the first totally soft color card I have made in a very long time. It makes me wonder why that is????
I want to point out the Glittery & Clear Epoxy Shapes that are on the upper part of the card. This is the first time I have used the tear drop shaped ones. I wanted to give the upper section a little something and I believe these fit the bill.
The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the post. Thank you for visiting with me today. I really appreciate your visit and comments. I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend!
