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 in love with the second Sale-A-Bration release Designer Series Paper named Springtime Foils. It is probably one of the most beautiful ever. And if you are into 3-D it is the perfect weight for boxes, etc. I have simply used one of the pretty pieces and lightly colored sections with the Stampin’ Blends in Light Old Olive. It colors wonderfully as well.
Lovely Wishes, 145924
Isn’t that paper gorgeous?? It comes with the silver embossed stems and leaves and the addition of the gold touches. I merely colored the leaves with the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is from Lovely Wishes. I gold embossed it over the stamp, which seemed to mimic the paper design. Metallic paper is difficult to photograph. Especially when you do not have really good lighting. It is Gold Foil DSP behind the sentiment. And to finish it off, I added a Gold Metallic Shape.
I always feel like I am cheating a little bit when I do not stamp very much on a card. However, there is no way I could stamp and have it as beautiful as this DSP. This was a second release of SAB. Please do not forget that SAB ends on the 31st!! You don’t want to miss out on some of these great products.
I hope you hav a great day and will stop back tomorrow to see what I have for you. The complete supply list is at the bottom of the page.

Today’s card has the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper as the star of the show, or card ! This paper is so beautiful and the colors in it are fabulous. I hated to cover up the DSP, so I went with a little stamping and left most of it uncovered.
Celebrate You Thinlits, 146840
I chose Marina Mist and Rich Razzleberry to focus on the DSP. As I said at the top, I wanted to leave most of the DSP uncovered. I simply cut an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, stamped and snipped the flower from Amazing You ,and layered them with half of a white doily.
The die cut sentiments are the perfect size for the front of a regular A-2 card. I added the fabulous Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheet to the card stock prior to die cutting the words. This way all I have to do is peel off the backing and I have a sticker than easily sticks to even this slick DSP. The adhesive sheets are a must have in your stamping supplies if you have words or intricate dies to use.
And that is all it took! What a cute, but quick card. The longest time was taken paper cutting the flower.
Thank you for checking my post today. I very much appreciate it. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post.

I have a bright Birthday card for you today! What is better than Celebrating the Good Stuff?? I love that sentiment. I put together some bright colors to match the cheery sentiment.
I love Night Of Navy and believe it pairs with most other colors. Even though it is a dark color, it seems bright when paired with this Daffodil Delight. Making the bird blue tied the colors all together in my crazy mind. (The Bluebird of Happiness even 🙂 )
I have discovered that you can use the Stampin’ Blends with almost any base color for the outline. I stamped the birdhouse and flowers with Soft Suede Ink and then colored with the Stampin’ Blends. A nice surprise. And I am really disappointed along with you that the Blends being not orderable right now. But I know once the Chinese New Year is over and everything is back to running order, that they will be back. They are awesome tools to have !!
The base of this card is the Tutti Frutti Cards and Envelopes from Sale-A-Bration. I love these great cards with beautiful matching envelopes. I tend to not decorate envelopes too often and these are already decorated for you. To finish the card, I just add the birdhouse layer with a strip of ribbon.
NOTE: I am sure you know this trick, but in case you do not…..the ribbon is simply a strip that is taped down on the back. I then take a small strip and slide it under the front and tie a knot. It allows the knot and tips to lay perfectly. If I try tieing the ribbon all the way around with a knot in front, it is very lose. This is much neater and super easy.
Thank you for checking my post today. I greatly appreciate it. Remember that there are only 5 days left of SAB. I know you have some items you need to order. Why not do it before the end of the month and get FREE items to go with your order.

I know I have used the Hanging Garden stamp set quite a few times. It is so easy to use, and especially with Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils. I needed a quick Thank You card and grabbed this set because I knew it would work perfectly.
I went with a more Subtles color combination for this card. I usually use more of the Bright family of colors. I always have bittersweet thoughts at the end of a catalog year when an In-Color Group goes away. This time Sweet Sugarplum will be leaving and I really like that soft color. NOTE: If you really like any of the 2016-2018 In-Colors, buy them now. They will only be available as supplies last!
I stamped the baskets and butterflies with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is stamped a little different than normal. I decided to stamp it in Bermuda Bay rather than the normal Black. I believe that softens the card a bit as well. The embellishments I added to finish the card are very hard to see in the photograph. But it does add great texture and a little bit of unusual in real life. I added the Glitter tear/rain drops from the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes. It looks like raindrops on the card. (In case you have overlooked these super cute embellishments….they are on page 33 of the Occasions Catalog)
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a great rest of your day. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

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. If you are thinking about it, please contact me and let’s talk.
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.
