I am sharing with you today the card that I made for a card swap with other demonstrators over the weekend. I received a similar card several years ago in a different swap and have used variations of it several times. I love it and I hope you will see the versatility of it as well.
Beautiful Bouquet, 143666
This stamp set has such gorgeous and sweet sentiments. The entire stamp set is wonderful, from the different fonts of the sentiments, the variety of flowers, and of course…..the matching framelits! It is definitely a keeper. The sentiment I used here is my favorite though. Who would not feel extra special receiving a card with that sweet thought on the front.
I went a little over my norm in terms of the amount of layers and embellishments. The embossed background is the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. It is a great folder in that the impression is great on either side. The splatter on the Wild Wasabi layer is from Touches of Texture stamp set. I used it again beneath the flowers on the top layer. The edge of the white layer is the Ticket Tear Border Punch. This is an awesome punch that I need to use more often. The ribbon is from the Occasions Catalog and is the Whisper White Organza Ribbon. And of course the elegant pearls at the bottom just finish it off.
Since this is a CASE card, I would love to see a CASE that you do of my card! I think that would be so fun. If you will send them to me, I will add them to a post.
Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a good week ahead. The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the page.
Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418
It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
Do any of you remember Crazy Quilts? It was a frequently made quilt made by using leftover scraps of other quilting pieces. That is what today’s card reminds me of. Although I did it on purpose. The idea came to me when I saw the card I made in the last week or two that was a CASE of Brian King’s patented leftover strips of card stock card. You can see my card HERE. Then I saw the Tailored Tag Punch, and this is the result of that combination.
Lovely Inside & Out, 144011
It is Crazy!! I punched several pieces of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack with the Tailored Tag Punch. The two different papers you see are actually both sides of one sheet. I then just taped them to a piece of Whisper White card stock. When I got to the edges, I merely turned it over and trimmed the pieces off with my Paper Snips. Some of those pieces were then reused to fill in gaps. It was actually fun, and quite quick to make.
For the sentiment, I decided to make it like a crooked sign to go along with the Crazy theme. It is taped down and has an Enamel Shape to replace the nail or tack. How fun is this?? Now I want to make a bunch more in different colors and different designer series papers.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this card and will let me know what you think. I love reading your comments.
The supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page. Today there are not that many! That is a good thing in my opinion!!

The card I have today is made using the stamp set that coordinates with a kit. It is Hello Friend and is on page 17 of the annual catalog. I think of it as a “sleeper” stamp set. It really has great pieces that work great together and separately.
Hello Friend, 144059
I love this wreath. It is a 4 Season type wreath I believe. You could add the flowers, as I have, or leave plain, add berries, etc. I chose a wreath for Spring. The base and flowers are stamped in Melon Mambo and the wreath is Wild Wasabi.
The designer series paper I used is from the Color Theory paper stack. It is a variegated green. I cut off the lightest color in making it fit the card. I wanted a simple way to add texture or more emphasis without really adding anything. ( I know that sounds crazy!) Between the variegated DSP and by placing the wreath over to the side, I think I succeeded. It also allowed me to wrap a piece of the beautiful Whisper White Organza Ribbon and add a bow.
This is a layout that can definitely be used quite often. I love versatile layouts, cards, etc. Thank you so much for visiting today! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Today’s card is a bright and happy card. The designer series paper and the little stamp are the stars. I also made it a 4 X 4 card. It would be perfect to give as a Random Act of Kindness. You could also use the same items and make it a 3 X 3.
I have recently used quite a bit of Night of Navy as a grounding color. Today though I have changed it up a bit and gone with Pacific Point. It is definitely another of my favorites. And of course, who doesn’t love Calypso Coral. This beautiful DSP is one of the Sale-A-Bration FREE items. It is on the reverse side of a piece from the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper. I fell in love with it immediately.
The stamp set is one of the Host sets from the Occasions Catalog , called Yay You! It has Amazing sentiments. I have used one of the others and this one a couple of times. I believe this is the first time I have used other stamps though. It will be a keeper for me, even after it retires. I love good sentiments. And to finish it off, I added a matching heart from the Metallic Shapes Embellishments.
Remember that there are only two days left on Sale-A-Bration! If thee are still items on your Wish List, now is the time to order. And think of the retiring In-Colors as well. They usually go out of stock before the new catalog arrives. That means stock up on them now and reward yourself with FREE product at the same time.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you have a great rest of the day and weekend. Please stop back on Monday to see what I have for you.

I am CASEing my Stampin’ Up! Team Leader, Brian King, on today’s patchwork card. Brian has created several different cards using leftover strips of card stock. Since I have been cleaning lately, I found I had quite a lot of little strips of card stock and DSP to either throw away or use. I chose to use them of course.
A Good Day, 145873
And yes, that is the much used by me stamp set “A Good Day”. I cannot apologize though. It is a favorite and I keep going back to it when I am looking for something small. I did not want to overwhelm the quilted look layer, so I went with a cute little design and a simple sentiment.
To adhere the strips, I covered a piece of whisper white with the Multi-purpose Adhesive sheet. Then I just layed the strips down. Once I had the paper covered, I simply trimmed off the excess strips with my paper snips. The hardest part of this is deciding which strips to use and then the color to use as the background layer. I like those kind of difficulties. 🙂
The card base is the Tutti-Frutti Cards and Envelopes that are a Sale-A-Bration item. These are wonderful. I wish there would be something similar in the annual catalog. It makes putting together a great card with matching envelope a piece of cake.
Speaking of SAB……there are only a few days left for you to take advantage of this annual offer. It is also the absolute best time to join Stampin’ Up! You can get quite a lot more in your Starter Kit for the same price. I would love to have you join my team. Hobby Demonstrators are the core of Stampin’ Up! . That is how most of us begin. I just wanted the discount to support my stamping habit. Who doesn’t love a discount. Plus you would have access to exclusive projects and ideas created by other demonstrators.

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.
