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.

I mentioned today’s card in yesterday’s post. It is a new type card for me. I love attempting something new. Even though this is an easy one, I still worry about getting it right. This one is hard to mess up. And I will give you the cutting directions as well.
Painted Season Bundle, 150349
I had a difficult time getting a good photo due to the window sheet and glare. I hope this shows you how adorable this card is. The Painted Season Bundle (stamps and DSP) are new Sale-A-Bration products. And on March 1 you can purchase coordinating dies for the stamp set. The stamps are all the delicate look as the flower in the center of my doily is. They stamp beautifully!
I wanted to be a bit different on what I used on the front of the card that shields your inside note and signature. I decided on the delicate doily from the Doily Builder Framelits. I love these!! I die cut the doily, and then punched a 2 1/4 circle from pool party card stock. If you have used a window sheet previously, you know the adhesive you use on the inside is going to show. So I used the pool party circle to adhere to the inside of the window sheet. I should have photographed it from the inside.
I stamped several of the flowers in a tight bundle before I decided to use the doily. So I went back and picked the one most alone and punched it with the 1 1/2 circle punch. It fit perfectly and allows the pool party circle to still show through.
I may not have explained my pieces very well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to explain in detail. I have included the measurements below.
MEASUREMENTS:
8 1/2 X 5 1/2 folded in half
Cut off 1″ of one side of the card. This is now the front.
Make another cut at 5 1/4 (It leaves 1″ after the fold line.
Cut a Window Sheet to 4 1/8 X 5 3/8
Cut DSP two pieces at 5 3/8 X 7/8
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed this card. Please come back tomorrow for another new fold. All of the supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

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 enjoyed yesterday’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop! There was some fabulous birthday cards there to inspire you. Today I have a much softer card. It is my first time using the Wonderful Romance Suite of products from the Occasions Catalog. They are gorgeous. I made a simple card for the first one but have plans for a more elaborate card to try soon.
Wonderful Romance Bundle, 150592
The designer series paper I used in the center is a vellum and the photo definitely does not do it justice. Oh My!! It is really gorgeous. I paired Fresh Fig and Petal Pink , which I never would have done without the DSP having it.
I know you may not be able to see it but the pink is embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I really adore that folder in that it gives the “linen look” to paper. Usually that is just enough texture without overwhelming.
The sentiment die cut is included in the bundle and is a bit different from the norm. I like the frame it makes. The little flowers above the sentiment are from a scrap of the vellum DSP. Tiny flower dies are also included in the framelits that perfectly cut out the little flowers. So of course I had to give it a shot. They are so delicate looking!
Thank you for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate it and love to read your comments. As always the complete supply list is at the bottom of the page.

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 will use mine other than just to carry my supplies to workshops. The next paragraphs explain the two Join Options. I hope you will think about it and contact me so we can chat about it.

I am back to my Bright colors today. I love getting my inspiration from the Designer Series Paper. I hope you do that, or will now give it a look next time you sit down to create. If you have been following me for any amount of time you know that I lean towards the bright colors. The DSP from Happiness Blooms is definitely right up my alley.
Incredible Like You, 148708
The stamp set, Incredible Like You, is not the set that is part of the Happiness Blooms suite. I think it matches perfectly anyway! The flower looks very similar. I used the colors from the DSP to stamp the flower in my center panel.
The beautiful DSP is actually both sides of the same piece of paper. I love when it works that way. I feel like I am getting more bang for my buck.
This stamp set also has a matching Kit you can purchase to make some gorgeous cards. I occasionally love those kits, but almost always really find the stamp sets to be perfect ones. So please do not overlook a kit if you prefer making your own cards.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I do really appreciate your visits. And if you ever have any questions about a project, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Measurements:
Base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2, folded in half
5 1/4 X 4
DSP is 2 X 5 1/4, and 1 X 4
center panel is 3 1/8 X 2 5/8
white is 3 X 2 1/2
