Stampin' Sunday with The Paper Players

 Hi Everyone,

Welcome to another Stampin' Sunday. Today I'm creating a wonderful card using the All Squared Away Bundle by Stampin' Up! This bundle is one of many that are 20% off during the month of March. I'm also creating for the current Paper Players PP583 Sketch Challenge for the week. 

The challenge for this week is all about "blooms". I love the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that was part of Sale-A-Bration in January & February. The bold colors and florals of the paper are great! 

For my card, I used the sheet that had the white outline of Daffodils as background. I also cut 1/2" strips of the DSP for mixing and matching. One of my favorite things to do when cardmaking. 

The All Squared Away Bundle has wonderful sentiments and the 4 sqaure stamps with designs have a lot of ways to use them for some great layering.  

I really enjoyed creating my card today for The Paper Players PP538 Sketch challenge. You can check out more cards that stampers have entered. You can even create and enter your own "blooms" card. 

Remember that March is the Savings are in Bloom Promotion by Stampin' Up! You can save 20% on the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine + many bundles on sale that are compatable with the Mini embossing machine. Be sure to check out all the savings! There is just a little over a week to save.

Thanks again for stopping in. I'd love to hear what you think of my card. Don't forget to check out the other cards created for the sketch challenge too. More get added each day. 

Happy Stampin',

Stampin' Sunday with the Sweetest Easter Card Ever!

 

Hi Everyone,

Today is such a wonderful day for an Easter Post. The weather is beginning to warm up with sunny days and I think spring is about to burst. The card I've created for you is from the Easter Friends Stamp set by Stampin' Up!

This bunny is so stinking cute! It has such a sweet face. 

In the Easter Friends Stamp set, there are such cute chicks. There is this little one with grass too. I love the "furry" look these Easter Friends have. The other wonderful thing about this stamp set is the font of the sentiments. You can see that the sentiments have wonderful cursive writing. 

I used the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper from Sale-a-bration. I used the front and back on one sheet. Try out this card just switching out the DSP and see what you come up with. 

Thanks again for stopping in. I hope you start creating your Easter cards. 

Happy Stampin',

Finding Inspiration Friday with Limited Sales & Products

 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Finding Inspiration Friday blog post. I am so inspired by the 20% off March sale by Stampin' Up! The Seascape Bundle, which is one of the sale bundles, has got me so inspired to stamp. 

These two cards were created on my Wednesday Facebook Live session. I am live every Wednesday on my Facebook Stamping Page. I was focused on the Waves of the Ocean beautiful designer series paper and the under water scenes. The Sealife Dies are just incredible and have me hooked!

The card I'm sharing today was inspired by the happy birthday card above. I really liked the layout of the DSP strips to show off the designs.

The Waves of the Ocean DSP strips are cut at 1 1/2" x 3 7/8" each. You can mix and match so many of the designs easily. The sea horse was die cut using the Blue Foils that are part of the Waves of the Ocean Promotion. The Coastal Cabana Foil is gorgeous!

The Seascape stamp set is wonderful! I just love the seagrass and that school of fish is so fun! Remember to give the inside of your card the same love you give the outside. It's the last thing your recipient sees. 

Be sure to check out all the 20% off products available this month. The sale includes the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and 3 Bundles that are compatable with it. There are also all the wonderful Waves of the Ocean products. Remember the consumables are limited and while supplies last. 

Thanks again for stopping in today. If you want more details about my project from today, you can watch my video.

Happy Stampin,
