Do any of you remember Crazy Quilts? It was a frequently made quilt made by using leftover scraps of other quilting pieces. That is what today’s card reminds me of. Although I did it on purpose. The idea came to me when I saw the card I made in the last week or two that was a CASE of Brian King’s patented leftover strips of card stock card. You can see my card HERE. Then I saw the Tailored Tag Punch, and this is the result of that combination.
Lovely Inside & Out, 144011
It is Crazy!! I punched several pieces of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack with the Tailored Tag Punch. The two different papers you see are actually both sides of one sheet. I then just taped them to a piece of Whisper White card stock. When I got to the edges, I merely turned it over and trimmed the pieces off with my Paper Snips. Some of those pieces were then reused to fill in gaps. It was actually fun, and quite quick to make.
For the sentiment, I decided to make it like a crooked sign to go along with the Crazy theme. It is taped down and has an Enamel Shape to replace the nail or tack. How fun is this?? Now I want to make a bunch more in different colors and different designer series papers.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this card and will let me know what you think. I love reading your comments.
The supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page. Today there are not that many! That is a good thing in my opinion!!

It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
The card I have today is made using the stamp set that coordinates with a kit. It is Hello Friend and is on page 17 of the annual catalog. I think of it as a “sleeper” stamp set. It really has great pieces that work great together and separately.
Hello Friend, 144059
I love this wreath. It is a 4 Season type wreath I believe. You could add the flowers, as I have, or leave plain, add berries, etc. I chose a wreath for Spring. The base and flowers are stamped in Melon Mambo and the wreath is Wild Wasabi.
The designer series paper I used is from the Color Theory paper stack. It is a variegated green. I cut off the lightest color in making it fit the card. I wanted a simple way to add texture or more emphasis without really adding anything. ( I know that sounds crazy!) Between the variegated DSP and by placing the wreath over to the side, I think I succeeded. It also allowed me to wrap a piece of the beautiful Whisper White Organza Ribbon and add a bow.
This is a layout that can definitely be used quite often. I love versatile layouts, cards, etc. Thank you so much for visiting today! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

I am late to the discovery as usual. But I found a beautiful piece of “wood” designer paper on the back of the Coffee Break DSP. I paired my discovery with the Hedgehugs stamp set for a little bit cutesy card.
Hedgehugs, 145879
I made another happy discovery in completing the card. I was wishing for the old oval punches to use for the sentiment and trying to find a punch to use in place of that. I found the Build a Bow punch. Yes, the unusual shape the sentiment is punched out with is the loop from the Build a Bow punch. I debated on cutting off the ends, but decided to make them banner points instead. It made for a very unusual , but unique, shape. Remember, good or bad, you saw it here first !!
I paired Soft Sky with the Early Espresso and then added Rose Red as the highlight. The squirrel is stamped in Early Espresso and colored with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. I added the loops of Linen Thread beneath the sentiment layer to add a little more texture.
This is a little bit different card than I normally do but I am glad I made the discovery of the wooden DSP. Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will continue to check out my cards. I love to hear from you and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Today’s card is a bright and happy card. The designer series paper and the little stamp are the stars. I also made it a 4 X 4 card. It would be perfect to give as a Random Act of Kindness. You could also use the same items and make it a 3 X 3.
I have recently used quite a bit of Night of Navy as a grounding color. Today though I have changed it up a bit and gone with Pacific Point. It is definitely another of my favorites. And of course, who doesn’t love Calypso Coral. This beautiful DSP is one of the Sale-A-Bration FREE items. It is on the reverse side of a piece from the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper. I fell in love with it immediately.
The stamp set is one of the Host sets from the Occasions Catalog , called Yay You! It has Amazing sentiments. I have used one of the others and this one a couple of times. I believe this is the first time I have used other stamps though. It will be a keeper for me, even after it retires. I love good sentiments. And to finish it off, I added a matching heart from the Metallic Shapes Embellishments.
Remember that there are only two days left on Sale-A-Bration! If thee are still items on your Wish List, now is the time to order. And think of the retiring In-Colors as well. They usually go out of stock before the new catalog arrives. That means stock up on them now and reward yourself with FREE product at the same time.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you have a great rest of the day and weekend. Please stop back on Monday to see what I have for you.

I know I have used the Hanging Garden stamp set quite a few times. It is so easy to use, and especially with Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils. I needed a quick Thank You card and grabbed this set because I knew it would work perfectly.
I went with a more Subtles color combination for this card. I usually use more of the Bright family of colors. I always have bittersweet thoughts at the end of a catalog year when an In-Color Group goes away. This time Sweet Sugarplum will be leaving and I really like that soft color. NOTE: If you really like any of the 2016-2018 In-Colors, buy them now. They will only be available as supplies last!
I stamped the baskets and butterflies with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with the Stampin’ Blends. The sentiment is stamped a little different than normal. I decided to stamp it in Bermuda Bay rather than the normal Black. I believe that softens the card a bit as well. The embellishments I added to finish the card are very hard to see in the photograph. But it does add great texture and a little bit of unusual in real life. I added the Glitter tear/rain drops from the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes. It looks like raindrops on the card. (In case you have overlooked these super cute embellishments….they are on page 33 of the Occasions Catalog)

This card is “amazingly” simple and quick! Did you catch that? It actually is true. Other than cleaning the stamp to change colors, it is a couple of stampings and done. Take a look and you decide .
Amazing You, 147215
Do you see what I mean? This was so quick that multiples of it would be a piece of cake. I simply stamped the Heartfelt Blooms stamp in Smoky Slate, cleaned it, and then stamped in Night of Navy. The “Amazing” is the thinlit die from Celebrate You Thinlits. I did use the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet, which turns the words into a sticker. A definite Must Have in your tool box of supplies. No more making a mess with glue for detailed dies. WooHoo !!
I do have to admit to CASEing this from a card I found in my swap box. It came from one of the ladies in my Stamp Club in one of our swaps. I love going through these occasionally. They are perfect for giving inspiration.
The center of the flower is the White Perfect Accents. It fit “perfectly” (wow, I am on a roll today) with the muted tone of the Smoky Slate. And a tip for you: you can color these with the Stampin’ Blends to get any color accessory that you need. How awesome is that? To finish off this cute card I added the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon with just a little knot.
