On Monday I shared a slightly different version of this card. I can't decide which one I like better. The prior one with more white accents. Or this one with more color. The pattern paper in this Suite is so lovely. I'm having a tough time trying to decide which one to use next. I'm dying to use one of the ones that's all rainbow colors. I'm hoping to have my next project finished in time for Friday's post. Check back on … [Read more...] about Full of Life

Miss You Friend
The Full of Life Suite in the new Annual Catalog is one of my favorite new Suites. The pattern paper in the Suite is right up my alley. I love the bright, fun rainbow colors. For today's card, I used a mix of the pattern paper with white accents. The white really helps the colors stand out. I typically don't use a lot of white in my cards, but I love how the white heart really makes the word "friend" stand out. I love the background paper. … [Read more...] about Miss You Friend
One Last Birdhouse!
This is it for the birdhouses at this time. I wanted to end the set on a really cute project - a 3D birdhouse. This little house turned out better than I hoped. I stamped one house for the front and die cut both the front and a second house for the back. Then I used a strip of 3x12" card stock to make the box center. There really wasn't a great way to measure out the strip in advance. So I just scored it as I went along around all the … [Read more...] about One Last Birdhouse!
Do You Have A Birdhouse?
Have you ever had a birdhouse? Did a bird ever use it? I've had a birdhouse on my porch for years, but I have never seen a bird use it. I don't know if it's because the hole in the front is too small. Or maybe it's too dark inside. I bought the birdhouse because I thought it was pretty. I didn't really expect a bird to move into it, but it sure would have been something to create a home that they would actually use. In the meantime, I'm … [Read more...] about Do You Have A Birdhouse?
Last Day
Before I share today's project, a reminder that today is the last day to take advantage of the May sign up special. With the purchase of the Stater Kit you get a selection of In Color products for free. A week or so ago I shared a project using the Country Birdhouse bundle on a wood plaque. I hadn't really had a chance to make anything other than that with the set so it was time to get it back out and make a few other projects. The … [Read more...] about Last Day
Shy Shamrock
I'm rounding out the week with another new card showcasing another new In Color - Shy Shamrock. This is another one of the make and takes from the recent Stampin Up OnStage event in March. These events are one of my favorite things about being a Demonstrator. There is nothing like the excitement of thousands of Demonstrators all gathering together to share their friendship and love of crafting. Stampin Up has a great special right now for … [Read more...] about Shy Shamrock

Country Flowers
This is one of the make and takes from the recent Stampin Up OnStage event. The Country Flowers stamp set is a new stamp set in the new Annual Catalog. This set comes with matching dies. I didn't use the dies this time around, but will definitely use them for a future project. To save some time on coloring, I used our blending brushes to add color to the stems and flowers. I love the abstract look it gives. One of my favorite new In … [Read more...] about Country Flowers
