04.14.19…..Happy Sunday, everyone!  It’s was such a gorgeous Spring day today….for a couple of precious hours.  Now…..the rain clouds are moving in, so I figured it’s another good day to stay inside, and do some crafting and creating.  That being said, I wanted to take the time to share this “shabby chic-inspired” card with you this morning.  The Tin Tile Embossing Folder made its debut in the 2018 Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog, and I used to for quite a few projects back then.  So…..I thought I pull it out once again to create a background for this card.  Luckily, this embossing folder is a carry-over item.  If you don’t have it yet, I know you’ll want to order it as soon as possible!

03.31.19…..Happy Sunday, stampers!  I can believe that tomorrow is April 1st, and….today is the last day for the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration!  That being said, I thought I would create one last card with the Butterfly Elements.

03.24.19…..Happy Sunday everyone!  We’ve still been having some lingering winter weather this past week, but today we had another wonderful Spring day!  Once again, this beautiful weather has inspired me to create a Spring-themed card.  And…..what a better way to gather some extra inspiration than from this week’s Global Design Project – Color Challenge (#GDP181).  This week’s color trio was Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist, and Daffodil Delight.  Such a bright, cheery combo……love, love, love!!!

03.17.19…..Today is a gorgeous, “almost-Spring” day where I live….high 60’s, clear skies, and sunshine!  It doesn’t get much better than that!  That being said, it put me in the mood to create some Spring cards, so I decided to pull out my Varied Vases stamp set.  I also paired it with some of the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper, to pull in some of those soft pastel shades.

03.03.18….. It’s hard to believe it’s March already!  However, there are still a few more weeks to take advantage of the Stampin’ Up Sale-A-Bration!  That being said, I decided to create this card for this week’s Global Design Project (#GDP178) using the All Adorned stamp set, which is one of the wonderful products that you can earn for FREE (when you a $50+ order in Stampin’ Up merchandise).

Update (02.25.19)…..This morning, I was excited to find out that my rooster card was one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #177 (#GDPwinner).

02.24.19…..Good evening, stampers! Just a few blog posts ago, I posted my three little roosters card (using the SAB Home to Roost stamp set). I have to say, I really loved its fun, whimsical colors! That being said, this week’s Global Design Project #177 was a color challenge…..using Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, and Granny Apple Green. So…..I figured why not incorporate that color combo into one more rooster card. So, here you go my friends…

02/16/19…..Happy Saturday, everyone!  It’s another cold, winter day here in Northern California, and our weather has come in “3’s” today…..snow, sleet, and hail!  So, I figured why not create a card that comes in “3’s”…..three roosters to be exact!  This whimsical, barnyard card was created with the Home to Roost stamp set, which is one of the items you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!
