I tend to make cards with many layers but tried to simplify the process with this card. I’ve tried to show that you can make a card with just a few supplies.
All of the paper I used is retiring at the end of the month. Unfortunately the cardstock has sold out but the Kaleidoscope Designer Series paper is still available. I used a product for the first time with this card called Build a Brad. With this product you can make your own brad! Using my 1/2″ circle punch I took the center of another flower on a scrap of Kaleidoscope and built a brad with it! Can’t wait to try it with other papers and stamps!
Feel free to leave a comment or question! I am off to do some stamping!
Stamp Set: Watercolor Trio
Paper: Summer Sun and Pink Passion cardstock, Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper
Ink: Pink Passion
Accessories: Build a Brad (page 179 in the catalog), Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8 ” Circle punch, 1/2″ Circle punch, Organza Whisper White ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Paper piercer and mat

Here is another pinwheel card we made at my Hostess Club a last week. I posted another pinwheel card a few months ago and you can see it here. For this card I used the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and the card base is Razzleberry. The scallop oval and base for my pinwheel is Melon Mambo cardstock. These are fun to make and so easy!
I want to say thank you to all of the military men and women who served and are serving our country. Thank you so much.

Here’s another card using the Elegant Trio stencil. This time I used Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red. I think this is such a beautiful combination. Both colors are so vivid and it is quite striking. I also used the Perfect Polka Dots impression folder. This embossing folder was in the Occasions Mini catalog but can still be ordered (#117335). I love this folder and have used it for so many of my cards. It just adds such an extra touch to the card. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me (see the email button on the right side of my blog). If you would like to place an order you can also email me or go directly to my Stampin’ Up! website. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Here is another flower using the Sweet Treat Cups. I used Orchid Opulence which is one of my VERY favorites but it will be retiring. I may just have to buy a few packages of this before it goes away!
Don’t forget that Friday is the last day to order from the Occasions Mini and then on Saturday, May 1st you will be able to order from the new Summer Mini Catalog! As a demonstrator I was able to preorder a few of the stamp sets a few weeks ago. Tomorrow I will show you a card using the Sweet Scoops set and Watercolor Trio!

Stampin’ Up! announced on Tuesday that we will have some new color collections in July! Some colors are retiring, some In Colors are being brought back and there will be some brand new colors as well! Two of my favorite In Colors, Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo, will be staying and not retiring! This is exciting news! I can’t wait to see the new colors. I will post more information later today but here is a chart that shows you the new collections!
