Petite Petal punch card- A Touch of Spring

     There is something so appealing about small things, babies, kittens, butterflies, and tiny punches.  I saw a card very similar to this on Pinterest.  Yes, I do go to Pinterest a lot for inspiration. 

1. I love the small flower punch and matching stamp set called Petite Petals.  This is one of the neat bundles in the Occasions catalog. When purchasing a bundle you actually save yourself 15% off the cost of purchasing the items separately.

2. I love the rainbow colors of the flowers.  I actually have my clothes in my closet organized by color.

3. Isn't the background of lines just the added touch for the card.  Can you guess where they came from?  The are part of the stamp set called Gorgeous Grunge.  When I first saw the set I was not impressed, but it is the first one I go to when I want something great as a background.

    This card is one of the featured cards for this months Fill Your Cardbox class.  The cards will be spring-like to get us ready whenever the season decides to come.

Best of Flowers for Easter

     What do you like most about Spring?  Looking out the window today I think it would have to be the flowers.  I just hope all the flowers that started to poke their little heads above the ground are not going to be ruined by the biggest snow storm of the season.
    This is year 25 for StampinUp and each month they come up with a Best of stamp set that is made up of favorite stamps from the past 25 years plus one new never seen before stamp set.  This sunflower is from the Best of Flowers stamp set and boy would I love to be able to see one right now.

Supplies needed

Card stock Summer Starfruit, Early Espresso and Whisper White

Stamp set:  Best of Birthdays, Wacky Wishes

Sale a Brate the Rain

     What was your favorite part of Sale a Bration this year?  I loved the designer paper, that matching buttons and ribbon and the petite curly label punch.  The great thing about the punch is that it will be in the new catalog that comes out in June.  Yeah! I have one thing from the new catalog already. This card was featured in my Spring Fill Your Card box class.  When I think spring I think rain and thought this card would be appropriate.  But, now I hear that this year when I think spring I might have to think SNOW!!!  That just does not seem right, but hey, this is Illinois where anything goes.

Single stamp for Easter

     Don't you just love this stamp? I love the fact that it is a single stamp.  This is one of several single stamps you can purchase from now until the end of March.  What I like about this stamp..... It is simple, cute and easy to stamp.  I CASED a card that Mary Fish created.  I just changed the designer paper, the color of the accent color, and the bunny tail. This paper is one of the sheets of the free Sycamore Street designer paper featured as a Sale a Bration freebie.  I am going to miss this paper.  Love the colors!
