I am running around like crazy these last couple of days. So I have the Ultimate Quick and Easy card to share with you. It really cannot get any easier than this.
This really sweet card is just perfect for a fellow traveling friend. The best part, there is NO Stamping on it. Well, there is on the inside. I know…..It’s shocking that I would share a No Stamping card. Well, sometimes they are just called for. This is made with the Fabulous Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack. These are double sided cards in two sizes. You get a lot of them. There are also stickers, some with place for writing if you are using it for scrapbooking. But they are all gorgeous.
This one is 4 X 6 and I cut it down to 4 X 5 1/4. The only thing I did to the front is to add the gold Metallic Pearl to the center of the compass. I debated on using the silver one, but decided the old time compass would have been brass, so gold fit better.
Please don’t overlook products like this in the new catalog! They are those hidden gems that you come to love. Tomorrow I will have another of the Hidden Gems to share, so I hope you will return.

Happy New Catalog Day!! I made that up of course, but I am so thrilled to be able to order more new products. And I am sure you are as well.
There have been quite a lot of samples of this Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. Last night I only had a few minutes to get today’s project ready. So I tried to do a quick and versatile card. I am very happy with what I came up with.
I see this layout as a group of Thank You , and just Hello type cards for a nice gift. I already have that picture in my mind with a cute decorative box to match.
I went with subtle colors for the magnolia to pair with. The speckle around the magnolia is, surprisingly, from the Birthday Backgrounds stamp set. I stamped off in Petal Pink to get the really soft splatter look. I felt that it needed just a bit of “something else”. So I added the two falling leaves. I like the way it turned out.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow. The complete list of products is at the bottom of the post. There are not very many items used on this one though!

Today is one of those days that you can be happy and sad. It is the last day of the current Annual Catalog. Some items are still available in the Retiring List, and have even been discounted. Tomorrow is the NEW Annual Catalog. It has awesome new products and carry overs of others. Personally, I cannot wait to start exploring the NEW stuff!!
Today I am saying a fond farewell to one of the stamp sets I really love. It is Amazing Life. I like the sentiments and the little “accessory” stamps. The one I am sharing is a super easy card, my favorite type of card.
See how easy this card is? It is the perfect card layout for large sentiments or designs that you want to be the focal point. And it doesn’t hurt that the designer series paper is gorgeous!
I chose all the colors from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper Stack. The base layer is Soft Sea Foam. The frame for the DSP is Shaded Spruce. I decided to go with a third color to frame the sentient layer instead of sticking with the Shaded Spruce. So I added Pacific Point for that layer. The sentiment is stamped in Shaded Spruce as well.
Thank you for stopping in today. I really appreciate it. As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

I have a quick card to share that got a laugh from my Stamp Club last weekend. I had given it another name though. I named it “Kick Butt”. They saw the humor. This card is for those days that you really have to get up and get going.
I believe most of us can relate to this card in some way. For me, I am trying to get into better shape and spend several mornings a week at the park walking the trails. I feel like raising my arms and cheering when I am finished each day. Can you relate in some way?
The hardest part of this card is stamping the image to show behind the window. I punched the circle with the 2 1/4 Circle Punch. I then adhered the white piece on the inside of the card and made a small tick with a pencil to the top of the circle. Since this set is photopolymer, it was easy to insure my background went a bit above that mark. Then I knew where the silhouette needed to be. Easy Peasy.
For a bit of depth to the front, I chose to stamp and then punch the Tailored Tag Punch and I turned it longways instead of side to side. The sentiment may not be appropriate for everyone, but I love it. It is the only thing raised with dimensional.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have an awesome Memorial Day Weekend. Please remember those who gave their life for us.

I have another new stamp set (bundle) I am breaking out for you today. It is the set It Starts With Art! It is adorable in every way. This set would work for almost any crafter. I love flexibility.
I fell in love with this sheet of the Designer Series Paper. It is named Follow Your Art DSP, and has everything in it that is in the stamp set. This piece just screamed out to me. I love the bold strokes of color!!
Other than the bright colors I chose, the card is pretty simple. I stamped the stack of ribbon and colored each one with Stampin’ Blend Markers. I had to add some Wink of Stella to make them Sparkle! , since that is what the sentiment says. How cute is that??
Did you notice the little charm hanging from the paperclip? Those are both from the Follow Your Art Embellishment Kit. I normally am not too excited about the embellishment kits. I tend to stick to ribbon and bling. These were just too cute to do without. I ran a piece of White Baker’s Twine through the loop of the charm to tie it to the paperclip. Just for good measure, I added a glue dot beneath the charm to keep it from moving around.
Thank you for stopping by today and always! I hope you will return next week for some more ideas.

Welcome to the Pals’ May Blog Hop. We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects with “More Than One Score.” You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
My “more than one score” card is a Double Pocket Card. It has a few scores and a few folds, but it needs very little adhesive to hold it together. The added bonus is that it can be made in quite a few sizes. I made mine today to hold a tea bag and a note card. Of course, I used the retiring Tea Room Designer Series Paper to go with the tea bag!
Tea Room Designer Series Paper, 146894
I mixed and match with my products used. I have the Tea Room DSP, which is retiring, the Frosted Bouquet Framelits, which are carrying over, and the Free As A Bird stamp set, which is new for the upcoming catalog. One of the best about Stampin’ Up! products is that they mix and match so well.
I got this inspiration from a Splitcoast tutorial from Claudia Rosa. It was from several years ago. I played around with paper size until I got what actually fit the tea bag. For an unknown reason, that was my original idea for it!
Here is the card pulled out. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to make the ribbon hole. It is just the perfect size!
I should have mentioned above that my card is 4 X 4. So with the tea bag adding some thickness, it would still fit into a regular size envelope. At the bottom of my post, along with the supply list, I will add the directions on how to fold this. It is super easy, and I have some photos to go along.
More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 12, 2019 when our Hoppin’ Pals share their “Anything with Wings” projects. Don’t miss the fun!

8 X 8 piece of card stock or DSP, scored at 4″ on two sides with your desired pattern facing up
Fold and burnish, then lay flat, again with your desired pattern facing up
Cut along the left side score into the center intersection
Take the top left corner and fold it approximately 3/4 of the way down, but keep straight with the score lines
Take the bottom right section and fold it up along the score lines, so that it is now a triangle
Fold the top left over on top of the top right
Fold the bottom left underneath the bottom right
Fold the now bottom right corner up over top of the fold that is on top of it
Burnish all of your folds
Finally, fold the bottom section up and on top of the top section
You will need just a bit of Tear & Tape for the right corner of the center pocket and one section of tape along the left side to hold the front piece in place.
