Today’s card uses the stamp set Color Me Happy, which was released when the Stampin’ Blends became available. It can’t be found in a current catalog but it is available for purchase. It also happens to coordinate with the Color Me Happy Project Kit, a FREE Sale-a-bration gift you can choose with a qualifying order of $50.00. Please note: the order number 150046 must be used when ordering the kit as a Sale-a-bration gift.
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card and sentiment. I also used: Petal Garden Designer Series Paper, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Sweet Sugarplum cardstock. The sentiment was colored with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, which unfortunately are in a backorder situation although you can still order them until Friday, March 23rd, at noon, Mountain Time (and receive Sale-a-bration gifts for every $50 you spend). If you’d like more information about the Stampin’ Blends backorder situation, please click here.
The Layering Ovals Framelits were used to cut out the sentiment and the Old Olive scalloped oval. This set includes fifteen dies in varying sizes which makes it so versatile!

Stampin’ Blends have been extremely popular since they were first introduced and I couldn’t be happier about that. I love mine!
Week ago many Stampin’ Blends went on backorder. Due to an unexpected increase in demand and complications with their supplier, Stampin’ Up! has made the difficult decision to make the Blends unorderable beginning Friday, March 23 at noon (Mountain Time). Currently some Blends are available right now but many are on backorder which means that if you order them today, you’ll receive them once they arrive in the warehouse. At this time its estimated that more stock will arrive late May. But beginning on Friday, they won’t be available to order at all and you’ll need to wait until approximately the end of May to place an order for them.
You have two choices:
Place your order before Friday at noon, Mountain Time. You will receive your Blends just as soon as they arrive in the warehouse. Plus, you’ll receive Sale-a-bration rewardsfor every $50!
Wait until they arrive in the warehouse to place your order. As soon as they’re available, I will immediately announce their arrival!
I’m so sorry for this inconvenience. I love the Blends and am disappointed that they are on backorder but I’m so happy that many of you are just as excited about them as I am.
During my Envelope Punch Board Series several weeks ago, I shared a basket and today I have that same basket but with an Easter theme! During the series I made a video showing how to make the basket and you can click here if you’d like to see how to put it together! One change that I did make with this basket is that I used Tear & Tape to adhere the side flaps down rather than glue dots.
I used Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Lemon Lime Twist to create the basket and filled it with Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie paper. It’s a small basket but you can fit quite a few Hershey’s eggs inside or whatever candy you prefer!
I stamped the bunny from We Must Celebrate in Memento Ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock and then colored him with Stampin’ Blends in Pink Pirouette. I cut him out with the 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch and he’s sitting on top of a Pink Pirouette circle using a 1-1/2″ Circle Punch. The white scallop circle was made with the Layering Circles Framelits and a Subtles Enamel Shape finishes it off.
The sentiment is from a set that I’ve had for years called Teeny Tiny Wishes. The set includes 24 stamps and each one is just as the name implies, teeny tiny! I used the 3/4″ Circle Punch at the top of the basket and tied it up with Silver Metallic Ribbon and Whisper White Baker’s Twine.
If you make today’s project, I’d love to hear from you! Have a great day!
Happy Spring!! Today I have a cute little gift card holder and a video showing how to make it. The gift card holder is nestled inside an Acetate Card Box surrounded by white Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie. I used the stamp set We Must Celebrate and find out in the video how even though the animals are one stamp, I was able to easily stamp just the bunny!
I used Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper (a FREE Sale-a-bration gift) to make the gift card holder using these measurements:
6-5/8″ x 4-1/8″
score on the long side at 2-3/8″ & 4-7/8″

I love this sweet Tutti Frutti 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper from the Occasions catalog. Very close to my home we have both a blueberry and strawberry farm where we like to go and pick fruit. It’s always fun taking our grandchildren and we take tons and tons of pictures. Our favorite though is blueberry picking because we love blueberry pie! This paper brings back all those fun memories.
I really like how the Basket Weave Embossing folder looks with the Tutti Frutti paper. The embossing folder is one of the Sale-a-bration gifts you can earn FREE with a $100 order but only until March 31, 2018! It is packaged as a bundle with the Blossoming Basket stamp set. The embossing folder will be available for purchase after Sale-a-bration when it appears in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog but you can get it free today! You can see all of the FREE items available here!
The Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper is part of the Tutti Frutti Suite which also includes the stamp set Fruit Basket and the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Packwith four cute little punches and when you purchase both the stamp set and punches, you save 10%. For more information about the bundle, click here.
My sentiment is from the stamp set Fruit Basket and was stamped in Memento Ink and layered with Real Red and Night of Navy scallops using the Layering Ovals Framelits. The Night of Navy scallop has Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back to give it some dimension.
It’s very easy to make a banner using the Banner Triple Punch. You can make banners in three different widths: 1″, 1-1/2″, & 2″. Just slide your paper into the correct groove and punch! Easy! My banner is 2″ wide and 4-3/4″ long.
If you follow my blog regularly, did you notice that I used the same “foundation” measurements for my card again?
Thick Whisper White: 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″
Night of Navy: 5-1/4″ x 4″
Whisper White: 5″ x 3-3/4″
Once you build the foundation, you can change up what you add to the to the front of the card!

For the past several days I’ve been sharing some basic measurements that I use frequently. Basically it creates a foundation and then you build from there. My layers are:
Card Base: 11″ x 4-1/4″ score paper at 5-1/2″
1st Layer: 5-1/4″ x 4″
2nd Layer: 5″ x 3-3/4″
After making the layers using Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Soft Sky and Night of Navy cardstock, I wrapped Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around the the top two layers and secured it with Snail on the back. Then, I added Snail to the center of a Delicate White Doily and attached it to the front of the card.
The cute tree and swing are from the stamp set A Good Day. It was stamped using Memento Ink and colored in with the Stampin’ Write markers in Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight. It was cut out with the 1-3/8″ Scallop punch and sits on a Night of Navy circle using a 1-3/4″ Circle punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the doily. The sentiment is also from this same stamp set and I punched it out with the Classic Label punch. It’s tucked under the tree and a Glitter Enamel Dot was added at the end for a little sparkle. Very easy to make but really cute!
Here’s another version but this time the stripes on the Designer Series paper are vertical. I used the same punches but also added the Starburst punch. The colors I used are Fresh Fig and Soft Sky. The sentiment and leaves underneath are also from the stamp set A Good Day. I colored the leaves in with a Lemon Lime Twist marker. I used 1/2″ Finely Woven Ribbon in Fresh Fig and wrapped it around the Soft Sky cardstock and Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper before attaching it to the card base.
All of the supplies I used for both cards are listed below.
