For my card today I used the new Postage Stamp punch in the Summer Mini on page 10 and the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch on page 6. The colors in my card were inspired by a Vera Bradley bag that I have. I love purple, blue and green together. The new Blossom Bouquet punch is very versatile and can be used in so many different ways! Thanks so much for stopping by.

A post three days in a row! I’m on a roll! This card uses another stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog and it’s called On the Grow. I used a combination of watercolor crayons and pencils along with a blender pen. I stamped the image with Staz-On first so that the ink wouldn’t bleed. I am usually very intimidated by coloring an image like this but I am really happy with how it turned out. Just doing it and practicing, is what I needed. A trick I used with the crayons was to put some of the color on a scrap piece of Whisper White and then I picked it up from there onto my blender pen. I added some small pearls in the center of some of the flowers. I was so excited last year when Stampin’ Up! started carrying these pearls and I use them every chance I can! I hope this inspires you to give watercoloring a try!! Thank you for stopping by!!
My card today uses paper that will be retiring at the end of the month called Lap of Luxury. I used the Dahlia Fold to make my focal point using the 1 3/4 inch circle punch. I am really happy with how it turned out! The sentiment I used is from a retiring set called Great Friend. I love this stamp set and am so sorry to see it go. I will have to find a new favorite in the new catalog which goes live on July 1st! I have used “for you” on so many cards. I stamped it on the 1 3/8 x 5/8 punch which is also retiring.

I am finally on vacation and have time to post cards that I’ve done over the past month! I made this card for my Hostess Club meeting on Thursday. I used the stamp set Flower Fest from the current mini catalog. I stamped the flowers with Versamark and then used white embossing powder. Using my sponge dauber I added Regal Rose to the center. I am really happy with the way it turned out! I’m looking forward to making the card with different colors and the other flowers that come in the set. Another reason to love this set is that many of the shapes have a coordinating punch! It makes the card very easy to put together. Thank you for stopping by! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
This card uses a set that I haven’t used in some time called Vintage Vogue. I used it for the flowers as well as the background on the Whisper White. I tried to post an Easter card a week ago and every time I tried to publish it, the program wouldn’t work. Very frustrating. So, I am going to check and see if this works! 
Today I have another 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card that again is a patchwork design. This time I ran all of my Greenhouse Gala DSP, Concord Crush DSP, and Pear Pizzazz cardstock pieces through an embossing folder in my Big Shot. It is a pretty easy card to make. I also used 1/2 inch Stitched Poly Ribbon in Concord Crush. My sentiment was made using the Scallop Oval punch but the outside scallop was made using the Movers and Shapers Punch window. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a card that is so bright and cheerful which is nice with all the rain we’ve had. Flowers will be popping up soon, I hope. My card “sits” on a Rose Red square scallop. The card itself is on Pacific Point. Before running my Whisper White cardstock through my Big Shot, I punched a Rose Red 5 Petal Flower with a Boho Blossom flower in the center with Daffodil Delight.
This is a card I made several weeks ago but forgot to post. My inspiration came from Mary Fish and you can see her original card here. These are not colors that I normally gravitate to but I thought Mary’s card was very pretty. The paper with the polka dots can be yours free during Sale-a-bration. The button for the center of my flower, You’re a Gem stamp set and Big Shot die, Fun Flowers, can all be ordered from the Occasions Mini. If you are interested in purchasing any of these items, please email me using the Email button or you can go straight to my Stampin’ Up! website by clicking the Order Online button. If you have any questions or comments, I’d love to hear from you! Thank you for stopping by!
Easter will be here before you know it so here is a card I made with the new stamp set Easter Blossoms from the Occasions Mini. The eggs and the sentiment come from this set. I popped the eggs up with Stampin’ Dimensionals as well as the sentiment, Happy Easter. I used Rose Red and Very Vanilla cardstock (Rose Red is one of my favorite colors). It is a cute card and I was able to make it prety quickly. This stamp set is only available until April 30th so be sure to order this before it is too late! You can go directly to my Stampin Up website by clicking the “Order Online” button on the far left side of my blog or you can email me if that is easier! Thanks so much for stopping by!
