Happy Watercolor meets Simple Stems

Today at SSINKspirations we have an awesome color challenge for you to participate in! I love color challenges. It makes me use color combos that one of the designers thought of and design a project around it.  Darcy shared the combo for this month! Please join us and create your design using the color combo!
Here is the card I designed and the list of supplies. To purchase any of the products simple click on the picture of the product and it will take you right to my online web site!

Over on the design team blog HERE were featuring quick and easy cards. For my quick card I made  I used some DSP, A framelit bundle and a few punches. Love how easy it is to match up colors when you use the Designer Series Paper!

Friday Favorite Featuring Hardwood stamp set

Today over on the design team SSInkspiration we all picked out Friday Favorites for the week. I have so many favorites! LOL! I have two favorites this week. One is the Hardwood Background stamp. My other favorite is this color combination I used here on my card Pool Party and Soft Suede. This card will be the masculine card for upcoming card class in April. This card  is also featuring Lovely as a Tree stamp set. 
Have a great weekend!

Easy bag for many occasions

 Over on the design team blog HERE were getting our green colors out to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I choose to design this cute little bag made out of DSP.  Also the project that my Stampin Bunco players will be making tomorrow night at my fun event! I love to watch and share videos! This idea came from right HERE. Angie made a Birthday Box. As you can see this bag can be used for many different occasions. As your watching stamping videos be thinking of your own ideas. As soon as I started watching I knew this would be perfect for the project and event I had in mind.

Here are the supplies I used to make my project.

March Blog Hop w Stylin Stampin Squad

Thank you so much for joining us for our March Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad Blog Hop!  Temperatures are on the rise and there is just one short week until the official first day of Spring!  We are all so ready to put away our snowflakes and break out the flowers in our craft rooms!  Stampin’ Up! has so many options for Spring-time flowers and we are showing you just a few of those today!


As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 15 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop – Jamie H of Unique Ink. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

 Thanks for hopping over to our sister blog! Here is what I made for this fun blog hop! I love the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper! So, I decided to use the idea of stamping directly on this pattern in the pack. I had already made the 3 by 3 card for a notecard holder for a recent Craft Fair. So, I thought for the blog hop I should make into to a regular card size! 

 other supplies used are:

Stamp Set- Peaceful Petals
Cardstock- Tangerine Tango,Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink Pad- Black  Staz -On
Accessories- Label Bracket,  1 1/4 ” Scallop Circle and  the 1 3/8 ” Circle Punches
Dimensionals, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon, Sharpie Markers

Here is a closeup of the colored Rhinestones.

So just by using the Sharpie Markers on the Rhinestones it really added a pop to my card!
