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.

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.
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.

I hope you have a great day and I appreciate you stopping to see my card for today. All of 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.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I greatly appreciate it and your comments. I hope you have a great day! The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s March Blog Hop! Today’s hop is filled to the brim with projects that celebrate Spring and Summer. With inspiration from Katrina & the Waves’ song “Walking on Sunshine,” we’ve created projects that share the joy and excitement that accompany warmer weather. We are excited to share our projects with you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Nothing says warmth like being out in the sun. So when I considered the theme of today’s hop, I immediately thought of the Sheltering Tree stamp set. A beautiful sunny day and relaxing beneath a big tree is what I was looking for.
Sheltering Tree, 137163
Taking a break under the tree is such a Summer thing, and I cannot wait for it to get here. So I was excited to make this card following today’s theme. I picked the colors to be bright and summery as well. The Crushed Curry from the Color Theory Designer Seres Paper Stack was perfect. I love the added texture the crackled look of the paper gives.
My sunshine is from the SAB set Amazing You. It makes the perfect sunbeams. The finishing touch was the Brights Enamel Shapes element of the heart to match the sentiment. This truly was a quick card. Since the stamp set is photopolymer it is so easy to line everything up.

I am doing a different look to one of the cutest sets in the Occasions Catalog. And Yes, I am referring to the A Good Day stamp set. I have used it quite a lot, but isn’t that why we purchase sets? I have definitely enjoyed this one!!
A Good Day, 145873
I CASED this card from a card I found when going through some old swap cards. I love finding inspiration in older cards. (And it justifies me having a bunch of stuff hanging around!) In truth though, it is another quick and easy card to make. So I hope you will CASE this one as well.
I stamped and colored with the Stampin’ Blends the cute little animals from the stamp set. I had already decided my second color was going to be Calypso Coral. So I gave each animal a touch of it and then used it as the scalloped circle color.
To give some definition to the Island Indigo base, I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool ( A Must Have tool !!) and scored around all four sides. Of course that didn’t seem to be enough. I then added the scores across the center. That made me happy and I was finished. Sometimes it is just the little things that finish a card.
Thank you for visiting today. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you like this card and will come back tomorrow for the InKing Royalty Blog Hop.
