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.

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!!

I really love this sentiment so I could not wait to ink it up. I got this card layout inspiration from Pinterest and went with this entire set. It could be made into a Simple Stamping card or multi-layered very easily. My card is somewhere in between those.
Flowering Desert, 148700
There is not much to comment about in this one. I added the flowers to give it more texture and depth. And the sentiment needed some background. So I used Touches of Texture to stamp and stamp off with Sahara Sand beneath the punched out sentiment. I also did some around the edges for the desert floor.
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop and will come back tomorrow for a Non Card project. Although the layout could very easily be used as a card. Now you will be guessing!

Welcome to the Pals monthly blog hop. We’re so glad you’re here! January is all about making “Art from the Heart,” featuring projects for Valentines Day, Thinking of You, Get Well, or Sympathy. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Cards that dislike having to make are Sympathy and Get Well cards. These are usually sad times. But I thinkI should send more Get Well cards since making people feel better with our chosen craft is part of the reason we make cards. So today that is the card that I chose to showcase. Although the sentiment on the front does not necessarily mean that. What do you think?
Dear Doily Bundle, 150616
I believe this sentiment is perfect for a variety of reasons and would definitely make the recipient feel special. I hate to tell you that I used two bundles and an additional stamp set to make this card. All of the new products were right at my fingertips so looking for just the perfect touches was so easy.
The doily cut out and flower are from Dear Doily Bundle. The sentiment with the stitched shape is from the Needle & Thread Bundle ( along with the Pretty Label Punch) And the inside sentiment for the Get Well is “Hope you feel better really soon” from the Humming Along stamp set. I do try to stick to two sets at a time for a card, but with all the new just laying there begging to be used, I could not resist. And I really did want it as a Get Well card.
I also did something else that I rarely do. That is heat embossing. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the sentiment is heat embossed with White Embossing powder. And yes, it still amazes me when the powder begins to shine!! I just love that . Something I do try to always do is to stamp on the front of the envelope. I think it gives the recipient an idea that there is something special inside the envelope!
Thank you so much for hopping along with us today and stopping at my post. I very much appreciate it. I have all of the supplies I used today listed at the bottom of the post.

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.

Today I have another card using Retiring Products. I have included some retiring designer series paper as well as a stamp set. The set has been great for small cards. I used it several times for Fall Thank You cards and some table decorations. I also adore the name of this stamp set, Many Blessings! The sentiments in the set reflect that name too, which is part of what makes the different pieces so versatile. Here is my project for today.
Many Blessings, 147775
And after mentioning the cute sentiments, I did not put one on the front of the card. Duh! I love this gorgeous Country Lane Designer Series Paper. Especially these two which are Blackberry Bliss. For me at least I find myself preferring the “back side” of the DSP as much as the fronts. I think of them as having backs and fronts, doesn’t everyone? LOL!
I was showcasing the DSP as well as the cute stamp, so the card is fairly simple. I stamped the image in Gray Granite and colored it with the Stampin’ Blends. I finished with going over the flowers and pot with Wink of Stella to give it a little shine.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I hope you have enjoyed these last minute cards. The 2019 Occasions Catalog and the 2019 Sale-A-Bration Catalogs go live tomorrow! I know I have a long list and hope you do as well. If you need catalogs, and do not currently have a demonstrator, I would love for you to reach out to me. I can get one to you quickly.
I have the measurements for today’s card just below this and the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
