Hi Stampers!
Today I have a friend I want you to meet for this week’s Global Design Challenge. But first, here’s their sketch for this week:
And here’s my card:
Isn’t he a dapper fellow? He is a member of the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set. You can have this little guy for free when you make a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. Do you like his tie? It’s one of the Bow Paper Clip Embellishments found in the Occasions catalog. His neck was a little too big to clip the tie on. (Don’t tell him I said that; it’ll hurt his feelings.) I simply took a wire cutter and snapped the clip off. I then stuck it on with a couple of glue dots. Now I need to make him a girlfriend!
Happy stamping!

Hello Stampers!
I decided to try a new sketch challenge. The Fusion challenge asks you to use the color palette or the sketch or both. I decided to use both, but I toned the color palette down a bit. Here’s their challenge:
And here’s my card:
My card uses Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi, and Daffodil Delight. The Designers Series Paper (DSP)
is from Stampin’ Ups! Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack. I’m a polka dot gal so I adore this paper! The gorgeous flower is from the Birthday Blooms stamp set. It’s a new set found in the Spring Occasions Catalog. It’s a nice large stamp that is easy to watercolor. It takes a little time to fussy cut it out, but I think it’s worth it. You can find these items in my online store:

Happy stamping!

Hello Stampers!
My card today is for my All Occasion Card Class and the Can You Case It Challenge. Here’s a copy of the sketch:
And here’s my interpretation:
I like to have small sentiments or no sentiments at all on my all occasion cards. That way they can have varied uses.
I cut my card base from Night of Navy cardstock. I cut another piece of the same color at
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for the top of the card. I used my Paper Piercing Pack and mat to pierce a border around the top piece. Next, I glued a strip of White Jute Ribbon to the pierced piece. The 2 x 3 piece of Whisper White cardstock is stamped with Soft Sky using a stamp from the Work of Art stamp set. On top of that, I stamped the anchor from Guy Greetings in Basic Gray. My greeting is from the set And Many More and is stamped on a piece of DSP from the retired Adventure Bound paper pack which is notched on the end. The pierced blue piece and the white stamped piece are secured to the card using Dimensionals. I used glue dots to add the sentiment strip.
I hope you give it a try!
Happy stamping!

Hello Stampers!
It’s time for another PPA Challenge! This week’s challenge is a sketch challenge. They are my favorite, and I loved this one by Mary Fish.
I turned the sketch into a birthday card using products from the new Occasions Catalog and
Sale-A-Bration brochure. Here’s my card:
Isn’t it darling? The confetti DSP is part of the Birthday Bouquet paper pack. I love every single piece of this yummy paper. Speaking of yummy, how about that ice cream cone? The stamp is from the set Honeycomb Happiness. It’s a freebie from the Sale-A-Bration brochure when you make a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. I simply stamped the cone once on Blushing Bride and once on Crumb Cake. I then cut them out and pieced them together. Easy Peasy! I then stamped the greeting from the
And Many More stamp set. You have to get this set! Finally, I diecut the finished piece using a die from the Lots of Labels Framelets, added some gold cording and popped it with some Dimensionals.
Happy stamping! (I think I’ll go eat some ice cream now)
