As I sit here typing up this post, we are in the midst of another snowstorm with more on the way at the end of the week.  It was below zero overnight Sunday night and spring feels like it is far, far away.  This card helps me to remember that warmer days will indeed come and is a great one to send out for a March birthday.  It uses lots of products from the January-April catalog, but you could also easily substitute many of those products with others.  The focal point image is the Petal Park stamp set and punch.  I love how easy it is to punch the flowers out and then quickly add them to the stamped image.  It makes placement super easy!

When you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of February using hostess code ZPPZAK3J you will be entered into a drawing for a mystery grab bag of products valued of at least $40.  These products are all retired, but they are new and unopened. Winner will be announced at the beginning of March.  

Happy stamping!

#SimpleStamping Friday: Cottage Wreath Best Wishes Card

Materials:
    Stamps: Cottage Wreath and Happiness Abounds
    Ink: Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz and Blackberry Bliss
    Card Stock:
        Soft Suede - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
        Pear Pizzazz - 5 1/4" x 4"

        Basic White - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and 5/8" x 3"

As I was getting ready to stamp my sample for this week's #SimpleStamping Friday post, I was scanning my stamp sets and my eyes rested on the Cottage Wreaths set.  This set was available last fall but has carried over.  In addition to the traditional balsam wreath, it also has a grapevine wreath, and I had the thought to create an all season wreath card. I had to pull in another stamp set for a general sentiment, but, hey, that's why we have a stamp collection, right?!  It actually came together fairly quickly and I love the way it turned out.

February 2023 Paper Pumpkin: Sunshine and Smiles Samples

My February Paper Pumpkin kit arrived yesterday, and I immediately sat down to play with it.  Oh my goodness, these cards are simply adorable.  The card bases are printed with fun and whimsical patterns and they all feature a peekaboo window to the inside of the card.  This allows you to place die cuts both on the inside edge of the window as well as around the outside front layer.  So much fun and designs that will definitely bring smiles to the recipients.

Next month's kit is called Ten Years of Growth and celebrates Paper Pumpkin's tenth anniversary.  It will be a card kit and will also include a bonus free stamp set.  Make sure you subscribe by March 10 to receive this anniversary edition.

Today's card is another birthday card that I made recently. This one was for my niece who turned fifteen.  I like how it is both fresh and sophisticated at the same time.  I had a lot of fun adding different components to really step up it up.  Once again, the Dainty Flowers paper is a Saleabration option that is no longer available, but there are other papers that could easily be substituted in here to achieve a similar look.

We are closing in on the end of this year's Saleabration, and for this weeks #SimpleStamping Friday card, my design contains not one, but two, Saleabration options.  Gotta work them in there, lol.  The Beautifully Happy stamp set is lovely floral set which you can choose with a $100 order.  The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper was also an option, but I only realized when I went to post this card that it is no longer available. Yes, those Saleabration options do sell out.  There are still lots of great options and Stampin' Up even added some additional catalog choices at the beginning of this month.  You can view all the Saleabration options on my website here.

Paper Pumpkin January 2023: Key to My Heart Alternates 2

This is the last set of cards I created using the Key to My Heart Paper Pumpkin kit from January.  For this set, I focused on using only the stamps from the kit and integrating them with some of my other supplies.  There are some great images in that kit and I had a lot of fun creating these cards. I particularly liked the round key hole image.  It made a fantastic background and was super easy to line up.

There are still a couple of days to sign up to receive the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Sunshine and Smiles.  That kit will allow you to create nine cards that are sure to bring a smile to anybody's face.  Subscribe by February 10 by going to the Paper Pumpkin website here.

One of my nephew's had a birthday last month, and our tradition is that my husband and I take the birthday child out for dinner around their birthday.  We got to do that a couple of weeks ago and this is the card that I gave him.  I chose to use the Happier than Happy set with the cute, little bear in it.  I've got several different die sets that I pulled out, but this card actually came together really quickly once I got started.

#SimpleStamping Friday: Country Bouquet Valentine

Materials:
    Stamps: Country Bouquet
    Ink: Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz
    Card Stock:
        Sweet Sorbet - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"
        Petal Pink - 5 1/4" x 4"
        Country Gingham Designer Series Paper - 2" x 5 1/4"
        Basic White - 3" x 3" and 3/4" x 3"
    Accessories: Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, so I thought I would make a valentine for my #SimpleStamping Friday card.  This card uses the Country Bouquet stamp set.  This set has a coordinating punch, but the punch is unfortunately unorderable until April.  Fortunately for today, the point of simple stamping cards is that they only use stamps, ink and paper.  This card also uses the Country Gingham paper which is a nice addition to this card.

January 2023 Paper Pumpkin: Key to My Heart Alternates

I had a lot of fun creating these alternative designs using the January Paper Pumpkin kit.  For this batch, I focused on using just the supplies in the kit with only the addition of a couple of pieces of card stock.  I took the supplied card bases and cut them up which allowed me to layer them a bit differently.  It's always a fun challenge, although some months are easier than others, lol.  Next week, I will show you some cards I made featuring the stamp set from the kit.

Next month's kit will help you create some warm and sunny cards that will bring a smile to anybody's face.  The Sunshine and Smiles kit will allow you to create nine fun and cheerful cards.  In addition, subscribers can purchase a special die set that will let you cut out two of the stamped images.
