Spring is here and I am looking forward to lots of beautiful flowers blooming.  Tulips are one of my favorites, so I thought I would do a card with the gorgeous Love it Kindness stamp. I went with an oval card, it makes a nice frame for the bouquet!  The card base is Wisteria Wonder cut with the largest Oval Framelit.  There is a slender border of Pool Party and the Whisper White that the tulips are stamped on. This was another super quick and easy card since you have just the one stamp involved.  It turns into more of a wow card since it's an unusual shape.   OK...now onto the good stuff about Preview Week!  Today it's  Melissa Davies' turn to feature and card and BLOG CANDY!!!  So, jump on over to Create with Connie and Mary to see what she has for us today!

Today I have a cute little Cheerful Critters card to share for the Sketch Challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.   First, let's look at the sketch for this week. I pulled out the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper for color inspiration and came up with this fun card. With this particular design, I thought a little critter would be cute sitting on the paper.  I love the bold bright colors from Birthday Bash DSP and focused in on the yellows.  The chic is a perfect fit colored with Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. For the sentiment, I pulled a greeting from a past My Paper Pumpkin.  Stamped in Bermuda Bay it coordinates well with the designer paper. This card was quick and easy, just what I like!!  Now it's your turn to try out this week's sketch.  Just go to Try Stampin' on Tuesday for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Happy Monday!  I have a sweet card to share with you today featuring A Happy Thing from Sale-a-bration.  I am sooooo sad that Sale-a-bration is ending tomorrow, all of these products are just so fun to work with!  I really loved my Lotus Blossom card from a few weeks ago so I decided to use the design with the happy bird since I've not done a card with it yet. I think these colors are just gorgeous together and the bird looks amazing!  Here's a look at the card that I took this design from. I kept the same basic layout the, just changed up the sentiment and embellishments. I used the sentiment from Lotus Blossom.  It's stamped directly on the designer paper with Coastal Cabana ink.  The card needed a little extra something, so I added a couple of small Crisp Cantaloupe flowers with the flower punch in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  Each flower has a small pearl in the center. Now that I've done this card, I am so sad that I didn't use this set more over the la

I have another card to share today, this one is for sketch challenge #179 from Freshly Made Sketches .  I thought this was a great clean and simple design to work with. I just got the Something for Baby Bundle and thought it would be perfect for this sketch.  The Best Year Ever Designer Paper from Sale-a-bration was the inspiration for my colors.  The card base is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder.  I added in a piece of the bokeh inspired paper with two of the corners rounded. A baby onsie was stamped with Coastal Cabana on Whisper White and die cut with the coordinating framelit.  A cute little duckie adds a splash of color.  It's stamped with Daffodil Delight on Whisper White.  I also stamped a duck with Tangerine Tango then cut the beak out to add to the Daffodil Delight duck.  Since Something for Baby doesn't have sentiments, I pulled the "Congratulations" from Guy Greetings.  I liked the size and the lettering, it was a perfect f

I have a fun little treat bag to share today that actually matches my card from yesterday .  I used For Being You and Stacked with Love Designer Paper Stack. The paper from the designer paper stacks doesn't quite fit the Mini Treat Bag thinlet, but I made due.  I used two of the smaller side to piece together the back.  With the design of paper that I used, this method worked out fine. For the front, I cut a banner with the striped paper and added a few embellishments.  The sentiment was stamped on a starburst of Calypso Coral.  I used painter's tape to ma

This week we got to pick from the new sets if we wanted, so I used For Being You. I love the bold "THANKS" in the set so I just HAD to get it with my last order!  I used the Stacked with Love Designer Paper Stack since there are so many beautiful and bold designs.  And just because this paper was meant for Valentine's Day doesn't mean that 's all you can use if for! I went with a bold striped design for the background and a beautiful little polka dot design for the letters.  To make sure my letters stood out, I added dimensionals to pop them up. It was easy to add the dimensionals, I just cut along the edges for the straight pieces.  I didn&
