In planning today’s card, I was thinking of using DSP that will be retiring quicker than we think with the end of the Annual Catalog or Mini Catalog. With that in mind, I was looking for a sentiment or focal image that would work alone. I have only used this lovely sentiment one other time. Now is a perfect time for these lovely words.
The sentiment is a favorite that I do not believe I will be getting rid of when it retires. It is perfect for a variety of occasions. It and other equally wonderful stamps are in the Positive Thoughts stamp set in the Mini Catalog.
The DSP is the Perennial Essence and was chosen because I wanted to use my favorite Stampin’ Up! Color. It is the Seaside Spray. I went a bit crazy with it when it first debuted and have made myself use other colors for a while.
I paired the Seaside Spray with my second favorite color which is the Purple Posy. I , like everyone else, was so bummed when the ink color could not be formulated to SU specifications. That did not deter me though. I use it regularly with the card stock as well as the marker and Stampin’ Blends.
The Old Olive was chosen as a compliment to the Seaside Spray and Purple Posy. I love the layers all working together. As a grounding for the butterfly and sentiment, I used the delicate looking edging cut in the Seaside Spray. I ended up covering more of it than I had intended.
The butterfly and the edging is from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. They were in the release of dies released just after the beginning of the year that coordinated with stamps from the Mini Catalog or the Annual Catalog.
I appreciate you stopping by today. Please come back tomorrow for the Pals April Blog Hop. There will be quite a few great projects for you to hop through.

Today’s card is a little humor and little Get Well. I laugh every time I look at the Back On Your Feet stamp set. The critters are just adorable and the sayings match perfectly. Sadly, I have only used it a few times. A Friend had an accident last week so I knew this was the set to pull out.
I love Mr. Turtle and his facial expression! And when I was looking for the proper background paper, I saw this and knew I had found the proper one. With the bruising in mind, that was what I saw in this paper. When the bruises turn all of those exciting blues and greens, with a purple added in! Yes, my friend has those.
This paper is from the See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper. It is another of my “back side of the paper” finds. The front , sort of embossed, side would have worked also, but I liked this one a bit better. Plus it had the green I used for the turtle.\
Thank you for stopping in today! I very much appreciate it and hope you are having a good day.

My card for today is in appreciation for us getting sunshine for the next several days! I had a few cards made since I’ve been isolating myself. But with the gorgeous weather, it inspired me to make one to celebrate the clear sky.

Ok… Now on to today’s card. Are you thinking Bright
Sunshine?
You got the Bright part correct. I love bright colors and the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper fits the bill perfectly. I have had this “frame” from that striped piece in my brain for a while. I just could not get it to work out on paper. It still isn’t what I envisioned, but this is what I ended up with. After I had everything together, it hit me to miter the corners of my striped frame. Just a tad too late for that on this one.
The idea for the card was HOPEFULLY saying farewell to the umbrellas and rain boots for a while!!
I have used three different pieces of the Pleased As Punch DSP. The umbrella is punched from the umbrella piece using the Umbrella Builder Punch that is part of the Under My Umbrella Bundle. The Boots are stamped onto the flower piece that pairs with the Small Flower Punch in SAB and is going to carry over to the next catalog. And of course the border which is the multi stripe piece.
The umbrella punched out but the boots were stamped in Gray Granite on the DSP and then fussy cut using my Paper Snips. The sentiment is from the stamp set Under My Umbrella. It is stamped in Balmy Blue (just like the beautiful clear sky!). Those layers are the 1 3/8 scalloped circle punch and the 1 1/4 circle punch.
I almost went with the Granny Apple Green Textured Weave Ribbon, but decided the Gray Granite version played off of the gray outline of the rain boots. I tied a double bow using the 1/8″ Whisper White Sheer Ribbon.
Thank you for visiting today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.

This is my first time playing with the Timeless Tulips Bundle. I adore the shading that is built into the stamps. It makes any stamping look very professional.
The stamps I have used are all included in the stamp set. I used all of the flowers and only one of the stems and leaves. I was trying to keep it simple.
The flowers are stamped using Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. The leaves and stems are stamped in Old Olive. The large flower is stamped onto the white layer, and additionally on a scrap that is punched out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I like to stamp it so that you can see it underneath if it is not exactly lined up.
I stamped the sentiment onto Highland Heather card stock using Gorgeous Grape Ink. The flower with the sentiment is Highland Heather so it is a tad lighter. And I got to use the Label Me Lovely Punch! I love the taller size. This one is different from any of the other punches in that it is taller. I didn’t necessarily need the height here, but it fits what I intended.
To finish off the card I wrapped the Tri Color Ribbon (shades of our gorgeous purples) around the layer. I added the sentiment a bit to the left with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also added a few pearls around just for some bling!
Thank you for stopping in. I will be back before too long. Please continue prayers for a speedy recovery.

I am once again sharing Sale-A-Bration items. I believe this year’s choices are awesome. Today I am showing the Thoughtful Blooms and the matching Small Bloom Punch. The punch is going to carry over to the annual catalog. But you can get it now and it can be Free! Woohoo!!
I have a little bit of an unusual combination for this card. The background designer series paper is the Come Sail Away DSP. I wanted a matching green that was not flowery. This piece fit the idea I had perfectly.
The Whisper White layer is first Die Cut using the die from the Nature’s Thoughts dies. They match the Positive Thoughts Stamp set from the Mini Catalog. The dies were part of the February Special Release AND they will carry over!! Another WooHoo!!!
I stamped the leaves and flowers in two greens, Daffodil Delight and added Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. I stamped extra flowers and punched them out using the Small Bloom Punch. The striped flowers are glued down and the others are either adhered with a glue dot to the center or with a small dimensional.
The tag is the new Label Me Lovely Punch paired with the Darling Label Punch. I like for tags to have a backing so went with the two layer tag. I added the Pineapple Punch ribbon to ground the label. I had already adhered the right hand flower and split the ribbon to go around it. I looked at it and decided that it worked just fine like that.
The rhinestones do not show up very well in the photo. There is one large rhinestone on the left side striped flower and tiny ones on the two flowers on the tag. I had to give it a little bit of bling!

Today I am sharing one of the New Release Sale-A-Bration Items. It is subtle on the card, and that is a great definition of the item. Have you guessed what it is? Yes, It is the So Very Vellum. And it is more beautiful in person. I love the soft colors.
The vellum comes with this embossing already done for you. All of the sheets have the same embossing. The vellum I chose for the background is the Soft Sea Foam one. I used the Highland Heather Vellum for the flowers. They are die cut using the Dies from Forever Blossoms Bundle. The embossed vellum gives an added definition to the petals.
The stamp is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set. It also is die cut using the bundled dies. That is such a great focal point for any design you could come up with.
I stamped in Smoky Slate Ink and then colored with Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy Stampin’ Blends. For the bow, I used the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. It is simply wonderful to work with. I don’t usually do multiple loops with ribbon, but this is so silky and thin I went for it.
Thank you for stopping in today. I have new projects each day to share with you. And this coming Wednesday is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop, you will not want to miss that.
Sale-A-Bration is heading towards the final month. Please don’t miss out on a great opportunity to get an awesome amount of product for very little money! And the fun of joining my team, as well as InKing Royalty. We share a great community of stampers and you could be part of it!!
