This Flying Home stamp set is just adorable. At first glance I thought it was too similar to some other ones. But then I thought of each of the stamps in a small frame. A perfect Springtime sampler. I did not go that route today though. This is just a sweet little 4 X 4 card that would be great for almost any occasion.
Flying Home, 145929
Of course, the perfect companion to this cute stamp set are the Stampin’ Blends. I know I have been utilizing them quite a lot. They are just so darn easy to use so I find myself reaching for them over and over.
I kept this card super simple. It is a 4 X 4 with Night of Navy as the base, and navy layered with Whisper White is all I used. Of course I played with a variety of colors in my flowers and birdhouse. 🙂
This card would be perfect for a Stampin’ Up! Party. It would be easy for any level of stamper. If you do not have a demonstrator I would love to talk with you and help you with your stamping needs.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope you have an awesome weekend and will stop back next week. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

Before I get to the treat holder I have for you, I want to let you know about a special that begins today. The Fast Fuse Adhesive Mega Special is back!! Last year Stampin’ Up! had a promotion and it was so popular that supply depleted much quicker than expected. Therefore the special was shortened by quite a lot. It Is Back!!! From Today through February 12, when you purchase 1 Fast Fuse Adhesive, you will get 2 Fast Fuse Refills FREE !!! That is an awesome deal! I hope you will take advantage of it.
Now for the cute little treat holder I have made. It is super quick, simple, and easy to make multiples of. I used the Diaper Fold and 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper to create it.
Tutti Fruiti 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper, 145606
I just adore this Tutti-Fruitti DSP. The colors are very vibrant and there are so many different designs. The sentiment is from the Yay You Host set from the Occasions Catalog. That set is wonderful and unfortunately gets overlooked being in the back of the little catalog.
I fit a Ghirardelli Chocolate into my little holder. But I know there are a lot of other candy, tea, etc that would fit in one of these. You can also make them larger. Just continue using a square sheet of card stock or DSP. The hardest decision to make is which direction you want the DSP to go!!
For a more finished product, I wrapped this treat holder up. I did not have any of the 3 X 6 Gussetted Bags, so I used the 6 X 6 bag and folded it. My tag is from the carried over from Holiday Catalog set, Labels To Love, and the Everyday Label Punch. I think this is a sweet little treat to give to someone.
Labels To Love, 144967
Thank you for stopping by today! I very much appreciate it and hope you will tell your friends to take a look at my creations. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Remember the FAST FUSE SPECIAL !!!!

It is a rainy day here in the Atlanta area. But that can still be considered a Good Day! Today’s card is what I think of as a “pick me up” type card. It would be great to drop in someone’s lunch or as a random act of kindness.
A Good Day, 145873
If you have not given this A Good Day set a second look, I hope you will. All of the pieces are just so cute and versatile. Today I paired it with the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper. This is to me a SMILE card.
I made this a 4 X 4 card instead of 3 X 3 because I wanted to see more of the DSP. I think it adds so much to the card. The background is stamped in So Saffron ink as a soft watermark type layer. That stamp is from Lovely Wishes.
The measurements and supplies are listed below. I hope you have an awesome and Great Day!!
MEASUREMENTS:
Base card is 4 X 8 and folded in half
The DSP is 3 7/8 X 3 7/8
The black layer is 3 X 3
The white top layer is 2 7/8 X 2 7/8

This is my first time using the Bubble Over Bundle. I really wish I had played with it sooner. It is perfect for layering. There are dies for almost every piece of the stamp set, plus a few extras. I made a simple card with a little twist to the fold. It is sort of a side/gate fold card.
Bubble Over Bundle, 146082
Please excuse my finger! The card did not want to stay closed to have it’s picture made. It is propped up and was misbehaving! I made the card pretty plain, with the bottle as the focal point. I had intended to clear emboss the bottle label, but then glued it down before I remembered to do it. Duh!!
I have the measurements for this off center fold further down in the post. I used several products, but they are not necessary. The Ticket Tear Border Punch could easily be a straight piece of card stock. I added it to mimic the edge of the bottle cap. That was my thoughts on using the scalloped ovals instead of straight ovals.
If you have any questions about this card, please do not hesitate to contact me. I love to hear from you! And I would especially like to talk with you about joining my Stampin’ Up! Team!! There are great incentives right now.
MEASUREMENTS:
Base card of Island Indigo is cut 4 X ll
Score the base card at 2, and & 1/2, fold and burnish
The layer is cut to 5 X 3 3/4
Emboss the layer, then cut it to 3 3/4 X 1 3/4 and 3 3/4 X 3 1/4
The focal point is adhered to the right half of the front

I am thrilled that this stamp set, Half Full, carried over from the Holiday Catalog! I really hope it is in the next Annual Catalog. Fingers Crossed !! The set includes some Christmas sentiments, and also some everyday sentiments. I love that. I have quite a few friends who like wine, and I sort of do as well !
Half Full, 144999
The “color of my wine” defined my color choices for this card. This is a muscadine wine, so I went with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. The splatter is from the Timeless Texture stamp set. Red Wines tend to end up on my white countertop for some reason, so splatter was appropriate.
The tag is cut with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. The Ribbon is Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon in the Occasions Catalog. It is so versatile and easy to work with.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card. I very much appreciate you visiting my blog. If you have any questions or are thinking of becoming a demonstrator, I would be thrilled to talk with you. During Sale-A-Bration is the best time of year to join my team!!

When I was looking through my stamp sets for an idea, I happened upon the “This Little Piggy” set. I was so happy when this set carried over into the current annual catalog. But I have not used it very much lately. So I dusted it off and have a sweet little card for you.
This Little Piggy, 143922
I used one pig with his sentiment masked off, and then stamped the sentiment from a different pig. The sitting up piggy is what fit the layout I had in mind. My photography has not been great of late. For some reason the colors are not looking true. The rust color is actually Calypso Coral with Lemon Lime Twist. I will have to correct that.
In case you are not familiar with the stamp set, the little image on the cross piece is little kisses 🙂 It is part of the stamp set and oh so appropriate for the sentiment. This card could be a sweet note for someone special or a Valentine’s Day Card as well. The bonus is that it is super quick and simple to make.

I am playing along with the Global Design Project challenge again ,GDP123, and this time I will submit it within the time period. This challenge is New Beginnings. The set I immediately thought of is one that I have not used but a few times. It is the super cute “A Little Wild” set. The adorable animals make tags or can be used as front/back on a card. I just used the front of the precious elephant for my card.
A Little Wild, 144344
I used the blends to color again. I told you I am hooked on those pens. That aside, I love the elephant holding the balloon. I think it is a cute Welcome Baby type card. The other animals in the set would be just as adorable.
To get just the front of the elephant, I used my Momento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and just tapped it on the one side of the stamp. I have found that from using the Absorber cloth to clean my stamps that I do not have the light color left. Before I would have a pale pinkish residue that would stamp when I didn’t want it to!
The balloon is from the Balloon Bouquet Punch and is the larger of the two. I then took the Sweet Sugarplum marker and went around the edge of the white balloon to give it some depth. This is a great trick to use when you do not have the layering of card stock.

I did something scary yesterday! I cut apart a stamp !!! That is the first time I have ever done that. I have seen a few cards with the We Must Celebrate stamp set and the lovable little animals. And then I saw other demonstrators posting cards with only one of the animals, and another with several stacked on top of each other.. That was my deciding moment. What do you think of this?
We Must Celebrate, 145898
Looking at these cute faces makes me smile. Since I have been on a coloring kick with the Stampin’ Blends for a while, these cute animals just fit right in. In a way I think it looks like a kid colored it. Then I look again and really liked it. But I hope it gives you ideas for this wonderful stamp set.
The background was totally created with the Stampin’ Blends. I like the unevenness of the grass and sky. It gives it some depth without looking too solid. But more that anything, I just enjoyed coloring and letting my imagination go. I really hope you will give it a try as well.
Thank you so much for visiting today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

I spent part of the day on Sunday coloring with the Stampin’ Blends markers. Oh my….they are so special. I like them more every time I use them. There have been many examples of the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper being colored with the blends. That is what I did. Here is one of the cards.
You’re Inspiring, 145808
I named the photo for the stamp set I used. But the real star of the card is the Petal Passion DSP. I cut a strip of the 12 X 12 DSP into three 4 X 4 pieces. I then colored each of them differently. I was really enjoying the easy flow and no lines of the Stampin’ Blends. I used pretty much all of the colors in the three pieces. Well, maybe not the browns.
After I finished coloring and decided to do a regular A2 card and not a 4X4, I chose a simple but special sentiment to go with my flowers. The sentiment is from the You’re Inspiring stamp set. It is focused towards Easter, but I do believe the sentiments are very special indeed. So after I stamped it and debated on doing something additional, I looked at it, and said “no”.
I mentioned that I did three pieces. Here are the others. I will make cards with them later. What I wanted to show you is the background for each. The two colored pieces are sort of hard to tell apart, but hopefully you can see the difference in the backgrounds. The far right is the Light Pool Party, middle is Dark Pool Party, and the card is Light Bermuda Bay. I think they look like wallpaper or gift wrap. Wouldn’t they make a great gift for someone? Hhhmmm…
Thank you for visiting today! I hope you like this card. I would appreciate hearing your comments. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have an awesome day!

I saw the layout from the current Global Design Project Challenge yesterday and decided I really liked the layout. So of course I will be submitting a card at the last minute. The story of my life lately! This card is super cute and SWEET though!
Fruit Basket, 145833
Who doesn’t love strawberries??? I even have a strawberry birthmark (thankfully very faded now). So when I saw this set, I knew I had to have it. These berries are extremely easy to line up the berry and the cap. The set is photopolymer which makes it match perfectly. I added some Wink of Stella to the single berry on the left, but it doesn’t show in the photograph.
I did stamp what I think would be called a “reverse mask” to do the berries outside the basket. I stamped the basket on scrap card stock and then cut it out. That way I could have some berries on the table in front of it.
I hope you will give this set a try. The little fruit pieces have a matching punch set! Woohoo! I will definitely be using that in my next card. The supplies I used are listed the bottom of the page. If you have any questions, please contact me. I love hearing from you.
