As I am typing this post, It is pounding rain outside with some thunder in the background. I know these last couple of months have been difficult for most people weather wise. I just would like to have a week of no rain! I think this weather is what inspired today’s card! 😕
Fable Friends, 148670
LOL!! This is how I feel. I was looking through my stamps for inspiration and when I saw this one I knew it was perfect for this post. I may have gone a tad overboard with my rain drops, LOL!!!, but it is how I feel right now.
I do truly love this Fable Friends stamp set. It reminds me of my childhood reading, but the figures are just so adorable. And the “sunshine sentiment” is a wishful thinking sentiment!.
The Stampin’ Blends have really brought back my love of coloring. I find myself reaching for them quite often. I hope not too often for you folks! They were perfect for coloring these cuties though. The rain is from Touches of Texture. I inked the stamp with Balmy Blue and stamped off before stamping on the whisper white card stock. And the finishing touch was the “sun” sentiment with a couple of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.
Thank you for checking out my rainy day card. It is supposed to be cool but no rain for a couple of days now so I will try to refrain from weather related cards 🙂

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.

I hope you had a good weekend and are ready to get some more card making ideas. I have returned to the Annual Catalog today with a little bit of the Occasions Catalog thrown in.
I loved the Jar of Love stamp set from the first time I saw it. I grew up with Ball Jars used for just about everything, including drinking glasses! So this was right out of my childhood. I added some LOVE to today’s card with just a small touch. Here is the card.
Jar of Love, 141587
Did you pick up on my LOVE? I do adore the different words that just happen to fit on the jar! I think this card could be used for a variety of reasons, and obviously could be done in almost any color you wanted. That is always a win and one of the things I look for when searching for card ideas and layouts.
Everything on the jar and the stamped flowers are included in the Jar of Love stamp set. The punched flowers are from the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack in the Occasions Catalog. The Heart Epoxy Droplets are in that catalog as well. Remember, they are the clear ones that can be colored with the Stampin’ Blends.
I have a tip that I used for the punched flowers. I used the Paper Pierce Mat and the Paper Piercing Tool to give some dimension to the punched flowers. Place the flower on the mat and use the handle end of the tool to press down into the mat. It bends the flower pretty evenly. And of course adding the pearl to the center is just the finishing touch!
Thank you for visiting today. Please return tomorrow for another card idea. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the page. And a gentle reminder about the Join Promotion and the awesome Shopping Spree you get with it. I do promise that there are NO pressure sales to do more than join and place that original order.

I have a super quick and easy card today! It is the definition of #SimpleStamping. It can be done quickly, great for multiples, and is wonderful with almost any designer series paper. Can you guess what the layout is? I will not keep you in suspense.
Butterfly Gala Bundle, 150599
How cute is this? And with FREE Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper (Botanical Butterfly DSP), you just cannot do better. I chose the Lemon Lime Twist as the base color because I did this card with my Stamp Club. Of all of the colors of butterflies, the Lemon Lime Twist was the most prevalent. Since I used all of the two sheets with this pattern I went with simplest to match.
For the little butterflies, they also came from this same DSP, just a different sheet. And I LOVE punches for quick and easy. It was super simple for my ladies to punch the butterflies and add to their cards.
I hope you will give this layout a try. Any DSP that Stampin’ Up! has would work in this configuration. I will suggest that you stamp the underneath sentiment prior to adhering the paper. Can you guess why I know that? LOL!!
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you will return tomorrow for another quick and easy project. I have the complete list of products (although there are not very many with this cutie) at the bottom of the post. And please read through the Join Promotion details I have listed below. I would love to talk with you about joining my team. I can give you a lot more reasons than I have listed here.

Have you thoroughly flipped page by page of the Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Catalogs? Mine are already dog eared from being flipped through so many times. But then I have had a head start on you. Please remember that you have access to the online catalogs by clicking on the catalog on the right side of my page. It takes you to all three current catalogs and you can open the pdf of each. So they are always at your fingertips!!
Now to share a new project with you. This is a great new stamp set that pairs with an existing punch and stamp set. Can you guess which one? Yes, it is a match to Mary Fish’s Million Dollar stamp set and punch named Varied Vases. This set coordinates with the punch and has great sentiments and fonts. For me anyway, pretty fonts are a must have. So here is my card
Vibrant Vases, 148656
I love how vibrant this Night of Navy card and envelope are. And yes, it is a new item as well!! It is on the bottom of page 26. The cards and envelopes come in two sizes in the package of 20. So you get ten of each size with matching envelopes. I especially love the striping on the inside of the flap.
This card, and the layout, are super quick and easy. It would be great for any smaller stamp. I chose to go with the one single vase of flowers and a beautiful sentiment.
I hope you enjoyed this first day of the new catalogs! I will have more new ideas fo you next week. All of the supplies I used are at the bottom of the page. But please do not stop here. I have outlined all the great reasons for becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator right now. Of course, this offer is good during Sale-A-Bration, so you have from now through March to consider it. I hope you will jump on the opportunity now and begin experiencing all the great products you can choose from.

I am back from my awesome sightseeing tour down the west coast. We went from Seattle to San Francisco. I must say the Oregon Coast is simply breathtaking! All of the scenery and sights were wonderful.
Today I have a pretty quick card for you. I am trying to get back in the groove and have a lot of cards to make. So we will get right to it this morning.
I used the beautiful Tropical Escape 6X6 Designer Series Paper Stack as the main color scheme for this card. I am really in love with this paper. The colors are so bright and are some surprising combinations. The colors I have used today are not something I would normally have put together. So keep this combination to try yourself.
The three triangles, or squares if turned another way, are a great way to have a different look with stamp sets. I chose the Dandelion Wishes set and stamped them very subtly with the Gray Granite. I used the Layering Squares to cut them and the Blushing Bride scalloped background.
Thank you for coming back to see me today! I really appreciate it.
There are two fabulous promotions going on right now.
