The Artfully Aware stamp set is a wonderful stamp set and has the flexibility to show Support and Love for a number of reasons / causes. I have used it a couple of times but have never posted one of the cards. When I looked at it yesterday, I just thought how Inspiring people going through difficult situations can be to others. I know I admire them for their courage and determination. I also know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about! Sorry for the narrative, but this is where I got the inspiration for this card.
Artfully Aware, 149447
This sentiment is from the stamp set Part of My Story. I LOVE it!! That is an awesome set with several perfect sentiments. I saw this one as perfectly matching the Artfully Aware set.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you have an awesome weekend and will return next week for new projects.

The title of today’s post may be a bit misleading. I was hoping for sunshine as I made the card I am sharing with you. I am ready to see some blue skies and sunshine! We have had rain for several days. I know there are people up north who have a lot of snow and freezing conditions. I am certain they would like some sunshine as well.
My little touch of Spring and sunshine is in a fairly simple card. I used the Incredible Like You stamp set. The card is made with only stamps from that set. I love to do this sometimes. It shows how well the sets can work alone. Plus this set has some really sweet sentiments.
Incredible Like You, 148708
For this card I used shades of green and shades of yellow. The flower is a Two Step flower. The base color is Daffodil Delight and the definition layer is Mango Melody. The greens are Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzaz. The Old Olive Linen Thread (which is super nice!!!) was a last minute addition and sort of covers the bit of whimsical stripes I had placed on that end.
I did add a butterfly from the Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper Botanical Butterfly for a little added texture and pop. The DSP is still available even though the Butterfly punch is out of stock at the minute. Truthfully the butterflies are very easy to fussy cut, but the Butterfly punch is going to carry over to the next Annual Catalog. That is only a couple of months away! Wow, time is flying!! Get the Designer Paper now and FREE during SAB, then you will have it when the punch is available again. You cannot beat FREE products.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend and will return on Monday. And as always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.

Today I am sharing with you a Paper Pumpkin Kit card. At least the stamps are from the February Paper Pumpkin Kit. I did not use the cards provided. I do not normally share these because if I have received mine, then it is too late for you to sign up to receive it as well.
If you are not familiar with Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up!, it is a monthly subscription and you receive a box that you open to discover the month’s surprise project. Usually they are cards. Occasionally they are some type of treat holder. The January PP was a kit with quite a few pillow box treat holders that you decorate ( all decorations included). Also, you receive one or more Stampin’ Spots of ink. These are mini stamp pads. Hint: if you collect a number of these, they are perfect for use with the Stamparatus! Or you can purchase the “Uninked spots” available in the Annual Catalog.
Anyway, I totally fell in love with this month’s kit and especially a few of the sentiments. The one I used is probably an all time favorite sentiment. Here is my card.
Gingham Gala 6X6 DSP, 148554
Is that not just about the best sentiment ever? “You’re The Reason I Smiled Today”. That just makes me smile to say it. Maybe I am just being crazy with the rain and needed to smile!
The February Kit is about succulents. This Succulent in a cup was just screaming to be colored. And I had to use that sentiment, so here we are. If you have any questions about Paper Pumpkin, please contact me. It is a great way to get started as a new stamper. I also know several people who bought the kit for themselves and a friend who lives away. They Skype or FaceTime and put the kits together at the same time. I love that idea!
The Paper Pumpkin link is on my Shopping page at the bottom, or my Demonstrator Page under events. Or, you can get to my Paper Pumpkin link by clicking (This takes you to the protons and SAB is first, Paper Pumpkin is a just a bit further down the page) Click Here For Paper Pumpkin
Thank you for visiting today! I know this was a bit different in that you cannot purchase the stamped image or the sentiment. But you can purchase the other pieces I used. That list is at the bottom of the page.
I also wanted to remind you about the ULTIMATE BUNDLE! Yes, it is the Join Promotion. There is NO Obligation for you to do any more that order your Starter Kit. And you have the option to get the Tote Bag, which this is the only way to currently purchase it is with a Starter Kit. I promise it is a very nice bag.

I have shown you this card fold previously. Before, I used the thick DSP from Share What You Love. Today I have used DSP from Nature’s Poem, which is regular weight. So I added a twist and gave it a backing. Are you intrigued? Here is the different version.
Country Home, 147678
And here is the open view.
Can you see the thin border of Mint Macaron on the back panel? Because the Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper is a more normal weight of DSP, I felt it wasn’t strong enough to stand as a card. So I added the 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 piece on the back. If you have been stamping a while you might remember prior to SU giving us the Thick Whisper White. We used the regular Whisper White and add a layer of colored card stock as the base like this.
I do love this DSP. The colors are great and I really like the stripes next to the leaves when it is folded. I did adhere the center of the front fold before adding the oval and flowers. The flowers are stamped in Gray Granite and colored with Stampin’ Blends. I was so happy when this Country Home set carried over. And I hope it carries over into the next Annual Catalog as well. I love the milk can and pitcher, and that the colors can be adapted to whatever you need. Another Thank You to Stampin’ Up! for these great stamp sets.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed today’s twist on the Tri-Fold. I have included the measurements below as well as the supply list at the bottom of the post.

I am playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #306 today. Brian King was who inspired this sketch. Of course, I had to give it a try. My first thought after seeing the sketch was that the Frogs would be perfect. Here is my card.
Part of My Story, 149719
Here is the sketch I am CASEing:
As I said above, I decided on the frog from Hoppy Together, A SAB stamp set, right away, and then the Lemon Lime Gingham was a perfect match. But I could not find the sentiment that seemed to be “Just Right”. Then I ran across the Part of My Story stamp set, another SAB item, and new I had found the correct sentiment. “I’m So Glad You Are a Part of My Story” is one that I loved the minute I saw it. It makes me think of dear friends, loved ones, and especially the friends and family we can just be our super silly self with. The perfect pairing for the crazy frog!!
Other than finding the perfect match, the card was super quick and easy. I stamped in Tuxedo Black and colored the frog with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. I love that you can see a touch of the Gingham check through the coloring. It adds a bit of dimension to his body.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you will return tomorrow for a another new project. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

I have finally broken out the Rectangle Stitched Framelits and OH MY !!! I am in love!! These are now my favorite Layering Framelits. Be warned, I will be using these often I believe! And I played with the Home To Roost rooster from Sale-A-Bration. I have seen some beautifully colored roosters, as well as some just stamped roosters. I like the look of both. Today though, I went with a brightly colored rooster.
Rectangle Stitched Framelits, 148551
I was not so sure about this guy at first. We had a rooster show up in our neighborhood last year. And he was a pain. (I live in a subdivision and not in the country!) So I was not too fond of chickens after that. I am over it due to this cute fellow. I now LOVE him! And I am very happy with the coloring and how it works with the card stock layers. I wasn’t sure on the colors at first, I am sure this is not a normal looking rooster! But the bright layers of card stock makes the rooster pop. Plus it gives the opportunity to see the beautiful Rectangle Stitched Framelits in action!!
To give a bit of texture to the white around the rooster, I used the splatter stamp from Beauty Abounds. I love using small background stamps to add texture or just to soften up the stark white sometimes. The sentiment also came from Beauty Abounds.
A last note about these framelits, They put stitching on the layer it cuts out, but also on the piece that is left. Sort of a two for one deal! And we love those….. For these layers, I used the largest die, skipped one, used the next die, skipped one, and used the next die. I had planned on three consecutive sizes but when I saw how close together they would be, I opted for more card stock showing.
