Mar 31, 2022 | Fun Folds, Gallery, Monthly Team Inspiration |
Hello and wishes for a happy day!
I am fortunate to belong to a wonderful team of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. We have monthly meet-ups and are excited to share projects with each other. We met this week and, of course, talked about the new catalog and the beautiful new 2022-2024 In Colors. I already have two favorites, Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis. I haven’t had my hands on them yet, but everything In Color is on the top of my wish list.
Inspiration From The Team
Karen’s Hello Ladybug
- I’m showcasing Karen’s card at the top. She was our host and always warmly welcomes us, our stamps, paper, ink and cardstock scraps.
- Karen’s card is a fun fold design using the Hello Ladybug Bundle.
- I’ve seen this bundle used in so many unique designs. Karen’s design and color choices are “classic ladybug”.
- I believe this Fun Fold is called a Double Flap Fun Fold.
- The flowers and sentiment on the inside are part of the Hello Ladybug stamp set.
Leanne’s Flowering Rain Boots
- Leanne shared a beautiful Flowering Rain Boots easel card.
- She created a unique color combination: Real Red, Pacific Point, and Coastal Cabana.
- The Pacific Point rain boots add a great “creative color” scheme. Love it!
- The Real Red satin ribbon adds a bold finish to this card.
- The “Happy Birthday” sentiment panel creates the stopping mechanism for the “easel” design.
- Inside the card, there’s plenty of room for your personal note.
Monica’s Painted Poppies Amazing Day Tri-Fold
- The Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper is perfect with the circle layers on Monica’s card.
- She chose a classic Basic White, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Real Red color combination.
- The stamped poppy image is from the Painted Poppies stamp set and fits so well within the circle layers.
- The circle sentiment layer acts as a card closure.
- We can use this card design with just about any image stamp and sentiment.
- You can switch out the circles for squares or rectangles.
- The inside of the card leaves plenty of white space for your personal note or stamped sentiment.
My Artfully Layered Card
- Lots of patterned paper from the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper inspired this card.
- Once you cut the layers and elements, this card goes together quickly.
So, I hope you enjoyed our Team Inspiration today.
… the only limitation is your imagination!

Happy Friday!
It’s the end of April and today’s post is full of new inspiration for you.
Speaking of inspiration, if you are an existing customer of mine, you’ve already received the new Annual Catalog. It’s full of beautiful new products and lots of new project ideas. If you would like to receive a Catalog, email me and I’d be happy to get one out to you.
My Team and I had our regular monthly meet-up this week. Once again I’m showcasing the projects we all created. Each and every one is beautiful and it was fun to be together. Every time we meet, one of us always says, “I needed this”… it’s so true. Just a few hours of creative time is so important. The card above is my favorite for April. You can click here to view my original post. I actually had more than one favorite, but I thought this was a nice way to say thank you to my fabulous Team of creative ladies, my wonderful and creative customers, those who read my posts, those who’ve recently signed up for more and those who’ve been checking in for a while now. So, thank you and I hope I continue to inspire you.
My new April Monthly Newsletter will be going out next week and my new Customer monthly inspiration will be going out within the next two weeks. The Customer monthly inspiration is private and will include fun projects and PDF’s for all who have placed orders with me. I am grateful to all of you.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff… the inspiration…
Barbara was our host this month. She came up with the cutest snail wishes card. There’s a lot of dimension in Barbara’s design, but she made it so simple for us. This design has lots of layers, beautiful coordinating colors and I can honestly say this was a “Quick & Easy” without a doubt. That snail looks so cozy in her little frame.
Georgia surprised us with an amazing 3-D card. Amazing is about all I can say. It was easier than you think to put together. There was not a word spoken while we worked on this project. That’s rare for our group! Monica couldn’t wait to “play” with the animals!! The card base is Basic White Thick cardstock and the layers are all Purple Posy. Georgia also designed a custom envelope for the card. The animals are from a local store, but the card design is Georgia’s.
Next up is Monica’s design. She created a pretty little tag box and a set of tags. What a cute gift this would be! Clearly, our little snail was presented well. The tags fit perfectly in the box but the box is so cute, I’m sure you can find many uses for it. I love the black and white polka dots and the colors Monica chose for the snail embellishment. This was another simple project.
Karen designed two cards which we inked at the same time. We got to use Blender Brushes and had a great time moving ink around the beautiful die cut from the Potted Succulents Die. This Die is going to be around until the beginning of June as part of the Simply Succulents Bundle and is being carried over to the new Annual Catalog. I didn’t get this set, but am having serious second thoughts! We used the die cut as a stencil on the Mother’s Day card and used the inked die cut piece on the Thinking of You card. The ink colors are Blushing Bride, Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizzazz. I honestly didn’t want to put down the Blender Brushes. This was easy, fun and looks like fine art!
And last but certainly not least is Sally. Sally is a customer of mine who sent her two latest creations to me. When she emailed her cards, she said to me that she decided to sit down and have fun that day. That’s what it’s all about. Just have fun and share. Sally asked me which one I liked better and it was a hard decision. They’re both adorable. I love the bling on both “hot dogs”! I always loved polka dots and am partial to blue, but I love the party hat background. It’s so festive. What do you think? Thank you, Sally. I very much enjoy seeing your cards. These are adorable.
I hope you enjoyed my April Inspiration!
So, as Sally said, sit down, have fun and create something adorable to share!
