Don’t quit your day dream

 For today’s card, Cammie created texture using 2 Textured Impressions Folders: Swirls and Curls #147923 and the Seasonal Wreath #151796. For the focal piece, Cammie created the beach scene on a Stitched Shapes #145372 using the Waterfront #146376 and the retired Custom Tees stamp sets from Stampin Up.

Fly Catching

 For today’s card I created a monochromatic background using various shades of Stampin Up cardstock and textured them with the soon to be retired Dot to Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #148533. Used the retired Oh Hoppy Day and coordinating Hop Around Framelits for the frog and lily pad.  The Stitched Shapes circle anchors the frog.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings #146667 stamp set.  For the tongue I simply cut a thin strip of Poppy Parade cardstock and rolled the end to catch the stamped fly.

Botanical Butterflies

 I am clearing out some of my retired DSP to make room for all the new papers coming with the new Stampin Up catalog.  Today’s post is all about the retired Botanical Butterfly DSP.  I used 3 patterns from the collection for each of these cards even the butterflies were punched out from the DSP using the Butterfly Duet punch #148523.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings #146667 stamp set.

Sunny Birthday

 Well I have reached the end of my birth month celebration and month long posting of birthday cards so I am ending on a sunny post featuring my all time favorite flower- the sunflower! This card is on trend with all the buffalo check stuff everywhere these days. I used the Buffalo Check Background #147797 stamp to create the rustic look. For the focal panel I made the sunflower by punching the petals from the Garden Impressions DSP #146289 using the Christmas Bulb Builder punch #148013. For the bold center, I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372 and added the sentiment from the So Many Shells retired stamp set.

You are my happy

 For today’s birthday card, I used up some scraps from the Toil and Trouble DSP (retired) from Stampin Up.  I added the sentiment from the Country Home #147678 stampset on a layered Stitched Shape #145372 Framelits.

 

Lucky Day

Happy St Patricks Day!  It is definitely a lucky day because I am posting 2 posts today.  One in the AM and another in the PM. This card is a stepped up version of the St.Patty’s day cards I made this year and also used it as birthday cards for my uncle and a friend that have St. Patricks Day birthdays!  For the card on the left, I did not texture the base layer with the Dot to Dot Texture Impressions Embossing Folder #148533 or with the Whisper White Flax ribbon #148764. The rest of the cards are the same.  I used the Botanical Butterfly DSP #149622 which is free right now with a qualifying order from Stampin Up and cut each piece with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits #148551.  I made the Shamrock using  the heart from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits #148527 and pieced them on a Stitched Shape Framelits #145372.  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings #146667 stamp set.

Happiest of Birthdays

 The Picture Perfect Birthday#145519 Stampin Up  stampset that I used to make this card has been one of my most used ever stampsets. I would have to say that almost every birthday card I made last year ( over 200) I used it for at least the inside greetings so it is a set that is truly a must have.  The bows were stamped and then hand cut to create a simple and fun birthday card.
