Hello, my crafty friends. The theme for the March Simple Stamping challenge is BIRTHDAYS - my favorite! Products for this month's simple stamping card may include stamps, ink, and paper (including Designer Series Paper!). My card is a super easy, handmade card that you will be able to recreate with just about any birthday stamp set that you have in your craft supply arsenal!

| #simplestamping |
The card base is a side fold (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25) Rich Razzleberry cardstock. The next layer is a 5.25 x 4 piece of the beautiful Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. The embellishment build is a Whisper White square, backed with another square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock, simply stamped with the "wild" animals from the Animal Outing Stamp Set and the birthday wishes sentiment from the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Sending You Thoughts.
This is really a simple card and I hope you will give it a try! I colored the images using the Watercolor Pencils, however, you could use whatever coloring method you enjoy!
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 on the "www" - I look forward to it.
Stamp On!!

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the March 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 are breaking away from featuring only Sale-A-Bration products and branching out to include products from all the catalogs with an emphasis on "Happy Birthday." For my card, I am using the Piece of Cake Stamp Set and Cake Builder Punch (Annual Catalog), paired with the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper ("DSP," Mini Catalog). And I was having so much fun, I made two cards. Check them out.
The card base is an A2 side fold (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25). The first layer is Basic Black Cardstock (cut 5.25 x 4) and the second layer is Smoky Slate Cardstock (cut 5 x 3.75). The DSP, which comes in a 6x6 pack, is strategically cut (2 x 6, then cut down to 2 x 5, creating three 2 x 1 pieces) in order to create the pieces for my second card. To make my "cake" so tall, I stamped the image twice and, after punching out the image, I cut them apart to create this "wildly" tall birthday greeting.
I borrowed the word "Wild" from Animal Outing and "Have A" from the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Lovely Day. The color schemes coordinate with those listed on the DSP: Smoky Slate, Bermuda Bay, Terracotta Tile, and Grapefruit Grove.
Both of these birthday cards are really quick and easy and would have qualified for this month's Simple Stamping challenge as they could be made without the punch or the die cut. Please come back next Wednesday to check out my Simple Stamping project. You can also search #simplestamping to see literally hundreds of examples of quick and easy cards by Stampin' Up! demonstrators across the globe.
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, Sue McDonald.

Hello, my crafty friends. This week, as I promised, I have designed a super cute and easy handmade card using the beautiful stamp set from the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Lovely Day. This month's kit coordinates with the Happy Birthday to You Stamp Set (item 152308) - a Sale-A-Bration item which you can earn FREE with any $50 purchase. More details on Sale-A-Bration follows below in the business section.
The card base is Whisper White Cardstock. The second layer is Old Olive Cardstock (3.25" x 4") stamped along the left edge with the stamp that coordinates with the image of a slice of birthday cake and makes this cute trim! The embellishment build is a large scallop circle die of Rococo Rose Cardstock and the beautiful flower image from the Lovely Day stamp set, inked in coordinating Rococo Rose, and die cut with one of the large layering circle dies.
The second card in the picture is similar, however, I have colored the flower with Stampin' Write markers. Maybe I should have used Stampin' Blends since it was such a large image, but I kinda like it! What do you think?
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my February Paper Pumpkin alternate card. Please leave a comment below with a trail to find you and your creations!

Hello, my crafty friends. I have been trying to use punches more and more in my stamping so this week I decided to use the stamp set and punch inspired by our Million Sales Achiever Mary Fish - Varied Vases Stamp Set and Vase Builder Punch. Let's take a look at this super easy, handmade card.
The card base is a top fold (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25) in Sahara Sand cardstock. The embellishment build is two coordinating dies from the Layering Squares collection, but they could easily be two straight-edge squares (cut 3x3, 2.5x2.5). The vase and flowers are punched from a scrap of the 2019–21 in color DSP / Pretty Peacock. The sentiment is stamped on Whisper White with Pretty Peacock and hand cut. I love this!
Now I did not stamp a background using coordinating ink, but you sure could if you like. Instead, I dressed up this card with two in color Faceted Dots along the top, left edge (and two hard-to-see smaller dots centered on the vase), and a short strip of scrap Pretty Peacock with a hand-cut flagged end.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my Vase Builder card featuring the Varied Vases Stamp Set. I would love it if you would give this card a try, maybe even in another in color or use the other coordinating stamp set - Vibrant Vases. Take a picture of your card to share with us all. Please leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can find you and see your creations.
Lots and lots of business discussed below, please keep reading after the supplies list.
