Yesterday I told you about the first card kit I took on vacation with me. Today I want to show you the other fabulous card kit called the “Oh Happy Day Card Kit”. Here’s a picture of 4 sample cards from the kit:
Aren’t these cards so bright and cheery? The kit comes with supplies for 20 cards like the ones above. EVERYTHING that you need for this kit is included. Cards, embellishments, stamps, ink and even a clear stamping block is there. All you need to supply is adhesive! You can follow the directions or you can take off and do your own thing.
Happy stampin’,

I arrived home yesterday after a three-week trip to visit relatives. I had great fun, but it feels so good to be back home. I wasn’t able to blog while I was away because my dad has no Wifi. I felt like I was back in the stone ages!
I’ll be sharing pictures and stories from my vacation the next couple of weeks. I’m going to let them inspire my projects.
I couldn’t go the whole time without stamping so I took along two card kits that can be found in the 2016 catalog. Here’s a picture of one of the cards I made from a kit.
These cards are from the Designer Tin of Cards Kit. This kit was such a big hit in the last catalog that Stampin’ Up! released a new one! The kit has supplies to make four of each of the designs above. You purchase the kit, coordinating stamp set, and the ink pads (if you don’t have them already). It was perfect to take on vacation!
Here’s a pic from our trip to Sund Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash got their start at this recording studio.
This is an old DJ studio that has been reassembled
I love the name of the song on this record!

Lucky me! I had just enough time between laundry and packing for vacation to play another challenge. I chose the sketch from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge for my inspiration today.
Here’s my card:
And here is the banner for the PCCC:
Since I didn’t have much time I went right for my favorite suite in the catalog, the Floral Boutique Suite. I love everything about this suite! I especially love the navy and white color scheme. How classic!
I layered Whisper White Cardstock and a piece of beautiful DSP on my Night of Navy card base.
For the center panel, I applied a piece of the suite’s washi tape for the strip at the top.
Next I stamped and embossed the floral image and sentiment.
For the detail work in the top right hand corner, I punched out a butterfly and tied a white baker’s twine bow.
It took no time at all since I stuck with the products in the gorgeous sweet suite!

I’m getting some last precious moments in my studio before I leave for 3 weeks to visit family in Texas and Iowa. Never fear, I will be stamping on the go! I have a couple of Paper Pumpkins packed along with the new Designer Tin of Cards Kit. I’m looking forward to spending time with these goodies.
I’m playing along with the Global Design Project #42 today. It is a great sketch challenge. Here is my card:
And here is the sketch from GDP:
I started with a Basic Gray card base and topped it with the diagonally striped paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack. I then punched a 2 1/2 in circle.
I backed the circle with Smoky Slate Cardstock on which I had stamped the Flourish from Timeless Textures.
I stamped the three step flower from Picture Perfect using Pink Pirouette, Flirty Flamingo and Rose Red. I fussy cut it and added it to my card with Dimensionals.
My sentiment is from the Love You Lots Stamp set. I stamped it in Basic Gray on Pink Pirouette Cardstock. I then punched it out using the new Classic Label Punch. I backed it with a banner of Rose Red.
Some pink sequins add the bling to this classic card.
It is a fun sketch! Why don’t you hop over and play along?

Yesterday I had to have a gum graft done. Yep, it’s as painful as it sounds. I decided to make lemons into lemonade by channeling my pain into the card I have for you today. Here’s what I came up with:
I think I did pretty well considering I’m on heavy duty pain pills. Nothing keeps us stampers from our craft!
The DSP is from the Pop of Pink Specialty DSP pack. The flamingo and leaf are from the coordinating stamp set Pop of Paradise. The sentiment is from new set Here for You. It has an inside sentiment to go with it that says, “and sometimes it’s a pain in other places too.” I love this set and have already used it several times.
My pain happens to be in my mouth, but I can commiserate with the flamingo!
Happy stampin’
