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.

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.

As I am typing this post, It is pounding rain outside with some thunder in the background. I know these last couple of months have been difficult for most people weather wise. I just would like to have a week of no rain! I think this weather is what inspired today’s card! 😕
Fable Friends, 148670
LOL!! This is how I feel. I was looking through my stamps for inspiration and when I saw this one I knew it was perfect for this post. I may have gone a tad overboard with my rain drops, LOL!!!, but it is how I feel right now.
I do truly love this Fable Friends stamp set. It reminds me of my childhood reading, but the figures are just so adorable. And the “sunshine sentiment” is a wishful thinking sentiment!.
The Stampin’ Blends have really brought back my love of coloring. I find myself reaching for them quite often. I hope not too often for you folks! They were perfect for coloring these cuties though. The rain is from Touches of Texture. I inked the stamp with Balmy Blue and stamped off before stamping on the whisper white card stock. And the finishing touch was the “sun” sentiment with a couple of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.
Thank you for checking out my rainy day card. It is supposed to be cool but no rain for a couple of days now so I will try to refrain from weather related cards 🙂

The Artfully Aware stamp set is a wonderful stamp set and has the flexibility to show Support and Love for a number of reasons / causes. I have used it a couple of times but have never posted one of the cards. When I looked at it yesterday, I just thought how Inspiring people going through difficult situations can be to others. I know I admire them for their courage and determination. I also know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about! Sorry for the narrative, but this is where I got the inspiration for this card.
Artfully Aware, 149447
This sentiment is from the stamp set Part of My Story. I LOVE it!! That is an awesome set with several perfect sentiments. I saw this one as perfectly matching the Artfully Aware set.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you have an awesome weekend and will return next week for new projects.

I mentioned today’s card in yesterday’s post. It is a new type card for me. I love attempting something new. Even though this is an easy one, I still worry about getting it right. This one is hard to mess up. And I will give you the cutting directions as well.
Painted Season Bundle, 150349
I had a difficult time getting a good photo due to the window sheet and glare. I hope this shows you how adorable this card is. The Painted Season Bundle (stamps and DSP) are new Sale-A-Bration products. And on March 1 you can purchase coordinating dies for the stamp set. The stamps are all the delicate look as the flower in the center of my doily is. They stamp beautifully!
I wanted to be a bit different on what I used on the front of the card that shields your inside note and signature. I decided on the delicate doily from the Doily Builder Framelits. I love these!! I die cut the doily, and then punched a 2 1/4 circle from pool party card stock. If you have used a window sheet previously, you know the adhesive you use on the inside is going to show. So I used the pool party circle to adhere to the inside of the window sheet. I should have photographed it from the inside.
I stamped several of the flowers in a tight bundle before I decided to use the doily. So I went back and picked the one most alone and punched it with the 1 1/2 circle punch. It fit perfectly and allows the pool party circle to still show through.
I may not have explained my pieces very well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to explain in detail. I have included the measurements below.
MEASUREMENTS:
8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half
Cut off 1″ of one side of the card. This is now the front.
Make another cut at 5 1/4 (It leaves 1″ after the fold line.
Cut a Window Sheet to 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
Cut DSP two pieces at 5 3/8 X 7/8
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed this card. Please come back tomorrow for another new fold. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

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.
