Today’s card is another one where the paper has done all of the work. The Fresh As A Daisy paper has such beautiful paintings included. I saw the actual paintings at a Stampin’ Up! Event. The SU artists are so very talented. And it makes for an easy and pretty card for us!
Papers
This pretty flower panel is from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. There are two pieces that have a variety of similar panels on a single piece. All you have to do is cut them apart. It could not be any easier! The striped section is a scrap that fit perfectly and added more color.
The card colors were pulled from the floral piece. I chose Garden Green as the card base but added the surprise of Moody Mauve. It is included in the floral and was a debate between it and a pop of Basic White as the thin layer. I also added the sentiment on a strip of the Moody Mauve for a different look.
Sentiment
This card could be part of a gift of cards, or just some to have on hand. So I went with a basic sentiment. “You are the best” works for so many occasions. The little sentiment is part of the Timeless Arrangements stamp set. There are several great sentiments in this set. And I love the size as well.
Finishes
To ground the sentiment I went with a soft layer of ribbons. The base layer is from the Real Red & Burlap Combo Ribbon. And the pink is part of the Sheer Ribbon Combo pack. Of course there must be bling! So there is a scattering of Iridescent Pearls. They not only pop, but add to the white of the flowers.

I am finally back to sharing cards with you! The trip to Norway was fabulous, and since it was a cruise, relaxing as well. But that travel home day was a killer! The time difference plus long flight seemed worse than ever. I have had jet lag for several days. But all is well and I am back with a fun card today. You all know how much I love the Stampin’ Up! critters, well here is a fun one with Hey Chuck!
Stamps
There are two different sets used on this card. The first is the best as it is Hey Chuck. The expressions on the faces in this set are so fun. He is giving the side eye at that birthday cake. I can totally relate because I have a large number birthday coming up myself. LOL!!!
The second stamp is the speckled around the background. I love the added definition that this sort of background gives. This stamp is from the Quiet Meadow stamp set.
Colors and Dies
A chick always has red of some sort. So I went with the Real Red for the layer. The layer is cut using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. These are so great and add a bit of texture and different look that is simple to do. A definite win / win!
The coloring of Chuck is something I have not done in a long time. I used Watercolor Pencils. There are some amazing watercolor artists that I have seen cards from lately and thought I would give it a try. Adding the different colors and working up the look I wanted really did not take too long. Sharp pencils and a newer Blender Pen were the key for me. Now that I have done it, I know I want to try it again. I remember when this was all we had for color besides the Stampin’ Write Markers.
Thank you for stopping in today! I will be back to normal posting now (hopefully!!).

I should still be on my trip to Norway! So these posts are done ahead of time. And I am sharing another of the quick Notecards I made as Thank You for the staff.
Papers
Today’s card is a return to the Kraft Notecards and Envelopes for the card base. This one has the added benefit of the gorgeous DSP from the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper. The sheet used here is a full one that looks like this. You could make quite a few cards from one single sheet.
Stamp and Punch
The sweet sentiment is from the Handmade Hugs stamp set. This set coordinates with the Handmade Tag Punch. The outline image is stamped using Azure Afternoon Ink. And the sentiment is stamped using Berry Burst Ink. Both are included in the stamp set. And I love the shape and size of the Handmade Tag Punch! It fits quite a lot of the larger size sentiments that most punches do not. I do not know if y’all have noticed that none of these notecards have added Bling! I left that off for ease of packing and travel. But it was so hard to not add some bling!!!

Today’s card features mostly the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper and a bit of fancy trim. This is a pretty, yet simple, Thank you card.
Tags
The tags are the best part of this card. It was a toss up between the tags and the DSP. But the tags won! The pretty edge on the top of the tag is from the Elegant Edge Punch. It is a 2″ wide tag with just enough detail for a fancy look. And you could punch each end for a beautiful and fancy layer on your card. I made a second tag of the Misty Moonlight card stock for a shadow look. They are tied together using a length of the Starry Sky Metallic Weave Ribbon. I love the bit of sparkle this gives.
Papers
This card could not get any brighter and that is all due to the papers. The Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper is so pretty. To get the torn look, one of the Stampin’ Up! Artists actually tore paper that had been dry embossed, stamped etc and then photographed it. This bright piece is fabulous. And it matches the tag piece which is also from the paper pack. To tie the layers together I found a complimentary color of Bubble Bath to use as the card base.
Stamps and Bling
To mix the two different DSP pieces, a solid color, and a punch is an easy and beautiful card. And to add a very simple sentiment is about all that is needed to complete it. The sentiment is from the Something Fancy stamp set. I love when I remember to try stamping directly on the DSP. And to complete the card I spread a trio of gems from the Tinsel Gem 3 Pack. I went wild and used one of each color!

My title means I am in Norway! The forecast was for rain every day. Hopefully they were wrong and we are enjoying sunshine.
Stamps
After checking the forecast for the tenth time, I am prepared to enjoy the rain. But again, I am hoping now when you see this on Tuesday that I will be not getting wet! However, this stamp set is a favorite of mine as I am sure you can see by checking out the gallery! I love the images and the expressions they have.
This little guy did not require a lot of coloring after stamping. His shirt is colored to match the background paper using the Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends.
Dies and Layers
To give the card a nice border, I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies. I love the design it leaves around the edge of the opening. The die cut layer is Real Red with a piece of the Stargazing Designer Series Paper behind the bunny. The card base is Night of Navy to match the darker part of the DSP. And to break up the dark colors I added another layer of Basic White. That ties the bunny layer in also.
Finishes
To complete this fun and celebratory card I had to add a fun sentiment. This YAY is from the Happy Labels stamp set. I really could not decide how to showcase it so it went through a bit of trimming. It began with using the star shaped punch from Inked & Tiled Bundle. But that was too large. So I decided it would work to simple trim straight across above and below the letters. It is an odd shape, but it screams happiness! And since Norway has been on my bucket list for a bit that is fine by me! The last touch is a scattering of the Classic Matte Dots in White.

I have a couple of additional Notecards to share with you today. These are made with Inked & Tiled Stamp set.
Stamps
The Inked & Tiled stamp set is one of my favorites. And here are two quick examples of the ease of using this set. The first one is Ink to Rubber technique. That simply means that I colored the stamp itself using Stampin’ Write Markers and then stamped the image. However this image looks great no matter how it is stamped!
The extra leaves at the base of the first card and all of the leaves on the second card are from an additional stamp in the set. This one is stamped using Pretty Peacock ink several times. Since the trip is a cruise, I knew I would need some less feminine cards for male staff. The surround of leaves works great for this quick card. And the Thank You is from the set as well.
Paper
These cards are the same Kraft Notecards and Envelopes that I used in
