Hello Stampers!
It’s probably not hard to guess which stamp set I’ve been using a lot lately, is it? I’ll have to change course in the next couple of days and try something new.
But for now, the Mixed Bunch stamp set and its coordinating Blossom Punch work very well, especially with Stampin’ Up!’s coordinating colors. I used this card at a recent party, and it went together nicely.
It uses the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder with Melon Mambo, Pacific Point and Pumpkin Pie . The sentiment comes from the Four You stamp set.

Hello Stampers!
I guess I’m itching for spring! I’ve been using the Mixed Bunch stamp set and coordinating Blossom Punch for parties and classes. So when I saw this cute bouquet from demonstrator Cheryl Holtman, I ran right to the store and purchased the pastel Rolos. (Of course, I didn’t sample any before making them a part of my flowers ;))
It’s amazing! It’s like the candy bar company selected its wrap to coordinate with Stampin’ Up! colors. I used Rose Red, Perfect Plum, Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green, and Pacific Point. I stamped and punched a flower in each color and punched a coordinating piece of solid card stock. The flowers are attached to each side of a 5 3/4-inch flat craft stick with the Rolo glue-dotted (don’t you love how that’s a verb!) in the middle. I propped the sticks in a small jelly jar in a small piece of that flower-arranging foam, disguised it with some of our Tea Lace Paper Doilies, and accented the jar with our matching ribbon.
I gave one out as a door prize at a party last night! Fun and festive!

Good Monday Morning!
Thanks to all who stopped by the booth at St. Mark’s on Saturday! It was a nice crowd. We saw some old friends and gained some new ones! I’ll be at Faith Lutheran on 84th and Adams in Lincoln on Saturday the 15th.
Sharing a fun card today created with the Perfect Pennants set available in the Spring Occasions catalog. This card actually started its life as a colorful piece attached to a brown lunch sack to make a quick and easy gift wrapping item. But it makes a fun card as well.
- The base is Tangerine Tango.
- The next layer is Whisper White cut at 5 1/4 x 4 and embossed with the Chevron folder.
- The Tempting Turquoise piece, cut at 2 x 5 1/4 is stamped with the Birthday Candle “wheel” in Tempting Turquoise. (Note: I discovered I wasn’t very adept at the wheel, so I removed the rubber from the wheel and remounted it on Stampin’ Up!’s Clear-Mount Cling Foam. Voila! A new stamp!)
- I stamped the sentiment from Perfect Pennants in both Real Red and Tangerine Tango.
- I punched out the Real Red “a” using a 1/2-inch circle punch and glue-dotted it over the Tangerine Tango “a.”
-
The sentiment is punched with the 2 1/2-inch circle punch and layered on a Real Red circle cut with the Circle Framelits.
And there you have it! A simple, but festive birthday card
Have a great Monday. The temperature is supposed to get to more than 70 degrees today!
