Razzleberry Garden Sugarplums March In!

Hello everyone!   Welcome to March, 2018.   Dare I say it ... we're finally getting closer to Spring!  Here in North Texas, the ground is saturated from recent constant rains ... and this girl is past ready to get some sunshine to replace the gray, gray, oh yes ... more gray days.

Today's card started with a nudge from the Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, 'Razzleberry Garden Sugarplums'.  I haven't used that combo before, and being the fan of Rich Razzleberry that I am, I quickly plucked out a sample swatch of each color.   Theme = set.

It's easy to create little floral bouquets with the blooms in the Cake Soiree stamp set, and the coordinating Sweet Cake Framelits include so many dies for flowers and foliage that the versatility is really extended for the entire bundle.  When first looking at the stamps in the Occasions catalog, you might think it's only for weddings, anniversaries, and special birthdays.  Nope ... not at all!

'Thinking of You' is from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set, which is just one of the Saleabration choices  available through March 31.  And finally, the 'Ruffled' Dynamic Textured Impressions folder adds an easy feminine touch to the Sweet Sugarplum layer.  I'll include a list of products below for easy shopping.

I appreciate your Stampin' Up! business, and am always happy to answer your questions.  Click here to email any time!

Winged Celebration!

It's hard to believe the sun is already down here in North Texas ... I am SO ready for the longer days of Spring.  Gray can be a nice color, but Winter's gray + cloudy days just need to mooooove on.   😉

Seems I've needed so many different types of cards to send lately!  Sharing a simple celebration card today, in pretty subtle colors to complement its upcoming recipient.  That's one of the really special parts of card making .. being able to customize or tailor a card to be uniquely suited for the one who will open the envelope!  The card's inspiration is from the FS523 'featured stamper' challenge at SCS this week, spotlighting 'AnniePanda'.  

Behind the dragonfly cutouts is a bit of the Falling in Love designer paper collection.  During the Summers, I'm blessed to see a couple of dragonfly varieties visiting here.  I adore their delicate wings, filled with an amazing shimmery quality.  Thus, it's the perfect time to add some Wink of Stella for that glitzy sparkle.   

If you're becoming a fan of this Dragonfly Dreams bundle, it's part of the Occasions catalog.  By adding just another $5 to your order, you'll already earn TWO Sale-A-Bration choices!  It's really that easy to add two favorite SAB freebies to your stampy zone!  Please let me know if I can help in any way.  I'm easy to find and happy to help.

Tradition? Texture? Dimension? All Here!

Today's card has a bit of the traditional, plus texture, and one of my personal faves ... dimension! 

Even though there are bazillions of ways to share a greeting for February 14 ... there's always the traditional "Happy Valentine's Day" being said or written.  I love this pretty font, too!

Texture fans will enjoy the new Falling Petals Textured Impressions embossing folder.  It's from the new Occasions catalog, along with the 27-piece Sealed with Love stamp featured today.  Now the stamp set can purchased singly, or it's also available in a bundle!  The coordinating Love Notes Framelits Dies include 14 fun pieces ... lots of stamps + dies in this combo.

Inside there's room for a combo of two stamps alongside the Rose Red contrast strip down the side.  I love the way the open hearts in the border die allow the Rose Red to peek through to the front.

Need your own copy of the Occasions catalog?  Please contact me! In the meantime, feel free to download it from the right side column here on my blog.  

This is one of the stamping projects I'll share with my team this weekend as we gather for some stamping joys.   Hope you find some ink + paper time as well!
