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!

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.

I have tried the Brusho Crystal Colour a couple of times (And yes that is how it is spelled in the catalog) but this is the first time I was fairly happy with the results. I used the great Beautiful Day stamp set, which is on the same page in the Occasions Catalog (page26). All I used with the two was an Aqua Painter and a spritzer
.
Beautiful Day, 145915
I stamped and embossed the butterfly first. I then spritzed the paper with water and sprinkled two of the Brusho colors. This is something that you just have to try. It is a fine line, at least for me, with not enough water or too much water. I did get it to where I liked it and then took a fairly dry Aqua Painter to “paint” the butterfly wings.
My banner blue dot was a pleasant surprise. I used the White Accents. They come in a variety of sizes on one sheet. And I colored it with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends. It only took a minute to dry and I am in love with it! I tried the Stampin’ Write Marker and it would not stick to the glossy surface. So skip that step and go straight to the Stampin’ Blends.
Public Service Announcement: Sort of 🙂
We are in the final couple of weeks of Sale-A-Bration. With that I wanted to let you know a great tip. If you think you would like to try the Brusho, and it is a lot of fun to play with, now is the time. With the purchase of the Brusho Crystals, Aqua Painter, and Spritzer…..you are at $50.00. And these items are not use a couple of times and you are out. Oh No! These items will last you forever!! So they are great investments for your stamping/crafting years to come.
Thank you very much for visiting today! I greatly appreciate it. And I love to hear your comments. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have a question.

The title of my post is a bit misleading! I am NOT Awesomely Artistic. I wish!!! But it is the name of the stamp set I used today. It is an oldy but goody. It features great stamps for a variety of background and collage type cards. Here is how I used it.
Awesomely Artistic, 139950
This is another of my quick and easy card. My intent is for it to look like a wreath. I am not sure it made that, but I still like it. It was stamped by punching a piece of copy paper with the 2 1/4″ circle punch. I temporarily adhered it to the center of the card. Then it was just a mater of stamping around.
The center is the sentiment from the Fabulous Host Rewards Set – Yay You! I love this sentiment. It will be in my keeper stamp box. The ones that you just cannot get rid of. The butterfly is from Awesomely Artistic as well, and was for the added color and dimension.
Thank you so much for visiting today. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the post. I hope you have an Awesome Weekend! Please stop back here on Monday for a new project.

I have the matching partner to the Tutti Frutti Pinapple card from last week for you today. These are just so darn, quick, easy, and most of all they are super cute!
Tutti Frutti Cards & Envelopes, 147242
Between the Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper Stack and the matching Tutti Frutti Cards & Envelopes, there was nothing to do but add a sentiment. Of course the sentiment is from the stamp set Fruit Basket! I have made up a couple of gifts from these products. They are just perfect. And to top it off, they are full size cards and envelopes. So no problem in mailing them. Easy Peasy!!!
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will give these products a second look. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
