Under My Umbrella Bundle

Happy Birthday Lovely

March 9, 2020 · 2 Comments

Happy Spring break for many!

I’m getting geared up for my March Card Buffet soon! And, challenges always get my creativity flowing!

Today I was inspired to create this birthday gem –

I used the Umbrella Builder punch to create adorable flowers!! I just love to use this punch for flowers!!!

The leaves are die cut from the Lily Pad Dies and the strip of grass comes from the Coordination Product Release, Special Day Dies.

This is just a simply beautiful card!

Two challenges helped me to create this card! First, color from TGF Challenges and the layout from CAS(E) This Sketch –

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Flower Power

I decided to make these adorable punched flowers –

I used Poppy Parade ink and card stock for the flowers and sentiment.

The flowers are created using the Under My Umbrella bundle. They are actually a folded up umbrella! I just turned them the other way!! They look more like flowers to me anyway! Lol!

The stems are die cut from the Lily Pad Dies (Sale-a-bration option) and the grass is from the Special Day Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday on a strip of Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper.

This card is just simply sweet!!! I can not wait to send it out!

Happy Tuesday, my Try Stampin’ on Tuesday friends!

Welcome to another 2 week challenge –

Here is my thoughts on the challenge –

Joy of Sets Something New Blog Hop

January 11, 2020 · 9 Comments

Welcome to our first hop of the year for The Joy of Sets!

We are featuring something new!

Since this is a blog hop, you’ll get lots of ideas if you go through the whole thing! It will totally be worth your while!

As I was designing my card, I ran across this wonderful sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch!. It was the perfect layout for what I wanted to use!

Since I already played with the Under My Umbrella bundle once today, I just had to use it again!

This time as an actual umbrella! The umbrella, side strip, and the background are all from a new Designer Series Paper that will be available February 4th. All the patterns are quite fun and coordinate with lots of the products in the new Mini and Sale-a-Bration catalogs.

Please check out all the participants! And, we LOVE to read your compliments too!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Imagine

January 11, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features an imaginative use of a product or stamp.

I used one of the new Designer Series Papers, Pleased As Punch (that will be available February 4th) to create these whimsical flowers (as a demonstrator, we can preorder these to get familiar with them) and the Under My Umbrella Bundle for this sweet number –

Both the flowers and the green layer are from the pack.

The flowers were cut with the coordinating Umbrella Builder Punch. The colors are flower like and that is why I chose this as a creative way to use a punch! Cool, huh?

The Whisper White and green layer are cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. They give a little added something something to the card.

What do you think? A creative way to use a punch and Designer Series Paper?

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
