What a cheerful little chappie this bee is – so cute offering a flower along with his thanks – don’t ask why I think this is a boy rather than a girl bee – it just looks like a little fella is my only reason!
The Bee Thankful set is a single stamp, it is nice and big so covers a lot of space, allowing you to make a quick thank you card! I paired it with the 2018 -2020 In colors using the Stampin Write Markers
We are in the last 7 days for the Stampin UP! 2018 – 2019 annual catalog which means that stamp sets and other products will be retiring and there are some of my favorites among them. So I am going to use my blog posts to share some of the things that are retiring – along with links so that you can put in your order so you don’t miss out.
Today’s I am offering another in my Sweet and Simple series ~ where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal! I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, and a couple of ink pads.

This card has a fun fold and featured in my November On-Line Class to Go so has a video to go along with it! The All for One Stamp Set and Love What You DSP is about to retire at then end of May – so if this is on your wish list you will want to scroll down this post for the link to my on-line store!

Today’s card uses 2 stamp sets, unusual for me I know, but they are both retiring and both deserve being showcased, Friendly Expressions and Stylish Christmas – but it is not a Christmas Card!
It is a while since I shared a technique using the Stamparatus and today I have one called Set Back Stampin’ using the Petal Palette Stamp set with the coordinating Petals and More Thinlet Dies.
The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool and an absolute must have for all stampers. It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.
A few days ago I shared a gift card holder featuring the Tropical Escape DSP, to make them I had to trim down the 6 x 6 sheets and was left with some strips that were just begging to be used! I was also ready to make my ‘thank yous’ for my lovely customers who had shopped for their Stampin’ Up supplies with me during March ~ so paired up my little strips with the super cute Narrow Notecards & Envelopes
This card proved to be a big hit at a recent card buffet I had – I started with cutting 20 kits and must have made up an additional 20 so everyone had a chance to make at least 1!
Saying thank you is so very important, it was one of the first things my dear Mum taught me – I know because I watched her do the same for my younger brother and sister and when it came to her being a grandmother she always reinforced it with the ‘littlies’ as they came into our lives!
The Abstract Impressions Stamp set has a lovely ‘Thank You’ as well as stamps that allow you to build up beautiful floral displays using single or two step stampin’.
Yellow and black is one of my favorite combinations, paired with the Southern Seranade Stamp set and you have such a lovely card ~ bright and fresh and just perfect for just about any occasion.
The stamp set has 3 greetings – Happy Birthday, Thank you and the one I chose to use to celebrate a friend.
So we have 7 more days before Sale-a-bration is over for another year 😦 If you have not yet placed your order and made your choices please go ahead and do so right now – before it is tooooo late!
Today’s card is using another of the items we can get for FREE – it is the the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and I have paired it with the lovely, fresh, spring like Pear Pizzazz card and pulled out my Aqua Painter for a little watercoloring

The colors I choose to use in my cards often starts in my ribbon drawer – I love to use it in my projects so it makes sense to start there! For today’s card my eye was drawn to the 3/8 Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon so Pool Party is the main color for my card and the water coloring on the Lovely Lattice stamp set which is my focal point and I got for FREE.
