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.

This Flying Home stamp set is just adorable. At first glance I thought it was too similar to some other ones. But then I thought of each of the stamps in a small frame. A perfect Springtime sampler. I did not go that route today though. This is just a sweet little 4 X 4 card that would be great for almost any occasion.
Flying Home, 145929
Of course, the perfect companion to this cute stamp set are the Stampin’ Blends. I know I have been utilizing them quite a lot. They are just so darn easy to use so I find myself reaching for them over and over.
I kept this card super simple. It is a 4 X 4 with Night of Navy as the base, and navy layered with Whisper White is all I used. Of course I played with a variety of colors in my flowers and birdhouse. 🙂
This card would be perfect for a Stampin’ Up! Party. It would be easy for any level of stamper. If you do not have a demonstrator I would love to talk with you and help you with your stamping needs.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you have an awesome weekend and will stop back next week. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Before I get to the treat holder I have for you, I want to let you know about a special that begins today. The Fast Fuse Adhesive Mega Special is back!! Last year Stampin’ Up! had a promotion and it was so popular that supply depleted much quicker than expected. Therefore the special was shortened by quite a lot. It Is Back!!! From Today through February 12, when you purchase 1 Fast Fuse Adhesive, you will get 2 Fast Fuse Refills FREE !!! That is an awesome deal! I hope you will take advantage of it.
Now for the cute little treat holder I have made. It is super quick, simple, and easy to make multiples of. I used the Diaper Fold and 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to create it.
Tutti Fruiti 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, 145606
I just adore this Tutti-Fruitti DSP. The colors are very vibrant and there are so many different designs. The sentiment is from the Yay You Host set from the Occasions Catalog. That set is wonderful and unfortunately gets overlooked being in the back of the little catalog.
I fit a Ghirardelli Chocolate into my little holder. But I know there are a lot of other candy, tea, etc that would fit in one of these. You can also make them larger. Just continue using a square sheet of card stock or DSP. The hardest decision to make is which direction you want the DSP to go!!
For a more finished product, I wrapped this treat holder up. I did not have any of the 3 X 6 Gussetted Bags, so I used the 6 X 6 bag and folded it. My tag is from the carried over from Holiday Catalog set, Labels To Love, and the Everyday Label Punch. I think this is a sweet little treat to give to someone.
Labels To Love, 144967
Thank you for stopping by today! I very much appreciate it and hope you will tell your friends to take a look at my creations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Remember the FAST FUSE SPECIAL !!!!
