Spring Fever

Is anyone else totally over winter? I know, I know, we need the water. We will have serious drought problems if we don't get more snow and rain. But, it is so cold! And, with my arthritis, sometimes the snow makes it dangerous for me to walk outside. I'm afraid I'll slip and break myself. Emergency surgery is not the goal! Lol. I mean, I want my hip replacement desperately. But I'd rather not be high risk when I do it, thank you.

Anyhow, I'm so ready for sunshine, blue skies and flowers. Even the rain is welcome at this point. So I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through my stamping :)

I cased all of these (duh, why wouldn't I?). I've never been great at designing. So, I'll just let the experts do it for me. Of course, I always give credit whenever I can. I don't want to steal the credit for the hard work and effort these incredible designers put into their art.

The starburst card was CASED from The Paper Pixie. I am a sucker for an excellent use of pattern paper. The more the better!

This rainbow vignette card was CASED from Aimee Lacroix-Slocum on a Sunday Stamping video that she did with her sister, Julie Davison. I used the older set of Rainbow Builder dies from a few years ago because I lent my current set of Brilliant Rainbow dies to a friend. See how that sentiment wraps the rainbows so well? That's what I love about photopolymer stamps!

And, finally, I CASED this one from Meg Holland. Could you die over those polka dot rain boots? Those were stamped in Daffodil Delight on the polka dot Abstract Beauty designer series paper.

Rainbow Artsy Fartsy Birthday Card

I wanted to share this pretty rainbow card that I made for my beautiful and talented niece, whose birthday was Nov 10th. When I say talented, y'all have no idea how much. She can take a photo and make a pencil drawing that looks just as realistic, if not more. Her talent amazes me. I am crafty. She is an artist.

I made this card because rainbows mean something amazing for her, and I was hoping that the stamp I chose to use from the Artistically Inked stamp set would elude to her artistic nature. She doesn't just like art y'all. She is art. And I love her.

Magical Day Unicorn Love

It has been a few long weeks for me. Anyone else? Do you ever just like, lose your mojo? I have all these amazing new goodies from Stampin' Up!, and I see all of these ideas on Pinterest that I'm loving, but I just couldn't make myself do anything with all that inspiration. I hate when that happens, but then sometimes I think maybe we just need that creative break.

I finally found a project sample on Pinterest that sparked something. It was a fairly simple one, and I already had some of the pieces leftover from previous projects, so I decided to go for it. Yay!

Don't you just love it? I shamelessly CASED this from Yvonne Van Bruggen. Her card was so beautiful. I just had to try it. Rainbows are still speaking to me, and I'm listening! Lol.

I used the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store at the link in the sidebar :) 

Paper: Whisper White, scrap of Daffodil Delight for the sun cutout, scraps of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and vellum cardstock for cloud cutouts

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Dies: Magical Mates Framelits Dies

New Occasions Catalog Goodies

Hey, y'all! How was everyone's Christmas? I hope it was very merry :)

I was so busy the last part of this year, and I didn't have much time to get on here and blog. Sorry about that! I do my best, but you know, that pesky job thing gets in the way too ;)

I'm here today to share some exciting news. Stampin' Up! will be releasing the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration items for sale to the public next week (January 3rd to be exact). There are so many beautiful sets, you won't want to miss out. Especially since during Sale-A-Bration, you can earn free product with each $50 you spend! And this year they've added $100 free product as well. I'm loving it. I wish I had more time (and money) so I could play with all the things.

This is a card I made with one of the new Occasions bundles. Could you just die with how fun this is? I have loved rainbows every since I was young (this might be an 80s child thing), and they are coming back. Yay!

I like to decorate the inside of may cards with just a little something, and that cloud stamp was calling my name. Isn't it cute?
