Hello, my crafty friends. This week I thought I would share my card for the February Simple Stamping challenge. It is a super easy, handmade card that you will be able to easily replicate with any stamp set. The theme for this challenge is "just because." Let's get started.
#simplestamping
The card base is a top fold (cut 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5) in Lovely Lipstick cardstock. The next layer is a 3x3 square of Balmy Blue cardstock stamped with the Buffalo Check Background Stamp inked in Blueberry Bushel. The top layer (2.5 x 2.5) in Whisper White supports the beautiful flowers from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set inked in Lovely Lipstick and this beautiful sentiment inked in Blueberry Bushel. I added just a small strip of Call Me Clover behind the build, a smidge lower than center, for an eye-pleasing pause.
This is really a simple card and I hope you will give it a try! As I mentioned above, it is also an easy to replicate card - click here to see my blog hop submission last week that uses the super cute, and free, SAB Small Bloom Punch.
As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out in the "www" - I look forward to it.
Stamp On!!

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the February Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, United Kingdom and Australia! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog (great project, Sandra!). Welcome one and all.
This month we continue to focus on the fantastic, free products from the new Sale-A-Bration brochure. For my card, I am using the Small Bloom Punch. The Small Bloom Punch was a free product with a $100 purchase. However, when I placed my order last month, I had a "moment" and must have really wanted the Lily Impressions DSP more than the coordinating Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set. Hum. Now what? Time to improvise. I think you will love the versatility of this small bloom punch.
The card base is an A2 with the fold at the top (cut 4.25 x 11, scored at 5.5). The first layer of the embellishment build is a 3 x 3 of the Blueberry Bushel from the 2018-20 In Color DSP, and the Whisper White layer is 2.5 x 2.5. Each flower is a build of two Small Bloom Punch flowers secured with a small dot of Tombow glue to hold them together and set upon a small strip of Call Me Clover. The centers are the Frosty Epoxy Droplets. A coordinating button with a tiny White Baker's Twine bow in the upper left-hand corner. A very small strip of Blueberry Bushel die cut with the long, scallop edge die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies is placed off center a smidge behind the embellishment build for an eye pleasing break from all that Lovely Lipstick!
The sentiments are from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set.
I think this card is super cute even without the stamped flower image. I will plan better next time. :)
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Krissi Hannah.

Hello, my crafty friends. I am totally loving all the coordinating of the Painted Poppies Bundle and the Peaceful Moments Bundle! This week, however, I thought I would show you an easy handmade card using some basic stamping and coloring techniques and the Painted Poppies Stamp Set (no dies).
The card base is Sahara Sand Cardstock and the poppies are stamped using the Sahara Sand ink. This is called a monochromatic color scheme. The center row of poppies is one stamp, stamped twice using the masking technique, to create a continuing row of the poppies. I just used a scrap piece of copier paper to cover the first image of poppies to prevent overlapping.
Like last week's project, I chose to make a bow from the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon -- it was simple to color the ribbon to match my card using the Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my Painted Poppies card. Please leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can find you and see your creations.

Hello, my crafty friends. This week, as I was putting together some of the cute mini cards from the January Paper Pumpkin kit, I thought it would be fun to come up with a full-sized card. This month's PP kit coordinates with the Heartfelt Stamp Set/Bundle (MC p. 10).
The card base is Whisper White Cardstock, then a layer of Mint Macaron (5.25" x 4") stamped with the Handwritten Background stamp in coordinating Mint Macaron classic ink (all not part of the PP kit). The embellishment build is one of the mini cards cut in half (3" x3") and the Mint Macaron mini card front becomes the first layer; the second layer is a 2.25" square of Mint Macaron (not part of the PP kit); and the third layer is the remaining white piece of the mini card stamped with the cute, flowery background stamp from the included I'll Bee Yours Photopolymer Stamp Set, cut down to 2.25" square.
The Rococo Rose flowery heart is one of the die cut images in the PP kit, and the Mint Macaron heart is another stamp included in the I'll Bee Yours Photopolymer Stamp set, punched with the solid heart from the heart punch pack.
I chose to make a bow from the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon instead of the included baker's twine (I cannot get enough of this ribbon - I LOVE IT!!). I layered 2 of the purple sequins - one on top of the other - and one of the die cut bee images, both from the PP kit. This completes the card perfectly.
