Welcome to our April Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products on the Last Chance List and/or Mother’s Day! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.
I love the Hot Air Balloon stamp set (#162748) and the Hot Air Balloon Dies (#162754) both on the Last Chance List. They remind me of our trip to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta! My card base is Daffodil Delight, with a layer of Blueberry Bushel, and a layer of Basic White.
I stamped the Old Olive & Daffodil Delight balloon on the layer along with the Pecan Pie basket. I stamped the Blueberry Bushel & Daffodil Delight Balloon on a scrap as well as the Poppy Parade & Daffodil Delight. A die cut basket is popped up under that basket. The clouds were die cut and then sponged on the edges with Blueberry Bushel. I finished the card with the sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708).
Thanks for hopping with us this month. Next go to –> Maureen’s blog to see what she has created.

Welcome to our April Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hopping!! It’s always a sad, but happy time of the year for us Stampers! We say goodbye to some marvelous products we have loved using over the past year, but know they will be replaced with new and exciting products beginning next month! We are featuring those Last Chance Listproducts this month! Here’s a preview of my card. Which products will you really miss?
Then I used Pool Party, Petal Pink, and Mossy Meadow scraps to die cut the roof trim, flowers, and leaves. The bird was colored with Stampin’ Write Markers to look like a robin, (#161695) and (#161696). Mr. Robin is popped up on a dimensional. The sentiment is from Sentimental Park (#160561) and stamped in Pebbled Path.

Welcome to our March Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products from the January – April Mini-Catalog! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.
I love the simplicity and versatility of the Bright Borders stamp set (#164753) and the To The Point Label punch (#164568) from the January-April Mini Catalog. My card base is Balmy Blue, with a 3 strips of Floral Delight DSP (#164700) measuring 1-1/8″ x 5″ layered on Old Olive strips (1-1/4 ” x 5-1/8″). This gorgeous DSP is a part of the Floral Delight Suite (#164716) and you have strips leftover if you already cut 6 pieces of DSP at 4″ x 5-1/4″ for other cards. Great way to use up scraps!
I hope you found some inspiration for your next paper crafting project using products from the mini catalog. Enjoy hopping through the blogs, looking at all of our projects! Please leave comments to let us know you stopped by!

Welcome to our March Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring techniques this month! I had to use more than one technique for my card. Here’s a preview of my card. Can you pick out some of the techniques I used?
The card base is Basic White with the front half of it embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder (#162189). Then a layer of Basic White with words from the Elements of Text (#164774) stamp set found in the Online Exclusives, stamped in Petunia Pop. Next, I used Blending Brushes (#153611) and Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath to cover parts of the layer. Then I stamped the outline flower from Flowers of Beauty Bundle (#163376) in Versamark Ink (#102283) and heat embossed them with white embossing powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder (#165679) collection. Then I flicked water on the layer, something I had never done before!
I added the die cut in Basic White from the Flowers of Beauty Bundle (#163376) and a double bow with the White 1/4″ ribbon (#165562) and the white Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475). I used the Delightful Wishes Bundle (#164710) for the Basic White die cut and the sentiment with its and die cut. I shortened the length of the die cut for the sentiment by partially cutting the sentiment from one end, then adjusting the die to the length I wanted and cutting from that end. Three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels (#158987)completed my card!
The techniques I used are: -Blending ink with blending brushes – Flicking water on the background – Heat embossing -Shortening a sentiment die cut

Welcome to our February Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring ways to use a card sketch with January-April Mini-Catalog, Sale-A-Bration, Online Exclusive, and Annual Catalog products!
Here is the Sketch we are using from page 12 of the January-April Mini-Catalog:
When I start to make a card from a sketch, I look through my stamps, dies, and DSP to see what jumps out at me. The Terrific Toadstools Bundle (#164790) in the January-April Mini-Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure was the set for this card. I added a layer of Toadstool Gardens DSP (#164942 – free with a $60 purchase) to my Granny Apple Green card base and then focused on the oval shape. I don’t have an oval in any current product, so I used a circle from Spotlight on Nature Dies ($163580). I love layered DSP, so I choose a second Toadstool Gardens DSP (#164942) pattern. I picked more cardstock based on the colors in my DSP. The pointed rectangle is from Sentimental Park Dies (#160566). Here’s a first look at the pieces.
The proportions aren’t quite right, so I cut a 1/4″ from each side of the rectangle and an 1/8″ off the Melon Mambo strip.
To replicate the oval shape a little, I cut the circle apart and left a gap between the edges, covering the separation with the strip.
Here is a sneak peek of my finished card.
I stamped the toadstool in Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie, popping the top up on a dimensional. The 2″ leftover strip of DSP I added to the envelope flap.

Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.
My card base is Melon Mambo, with a layer of Bloom Impressions 12″ x 12″ DSP (#164944) and then a 3-3/4″ square of Basic White. On the square, I stamped the wreath from the Heart Shaped Bundle (#164953) in Melon Mambo and then 3 times in Flirty Flamingo. Another 1″ x 4″ strip of DSP was added to the left of the score line and a bow of white Baker’s Twine (#155475) tied over it. I used the die to cut the shape for the sentiment and finished the card with 3 Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio (#163319).
I also stamped 2 corners on the inside panel.

I was going to focus on a Sale-A-Bration item, but when I woke up to snow this morning, I wanted a small sign of Spring!! So I grabbed the Delightful Wishes Bundle (#164710) found in the new Mini-Catalog! I started with a Pool Party card base 4-1/2″ x 8-1/2″.
Next is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Pool Party, embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). The branch was die cut in Pecan Pie. I stamped the flowers in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Old Olive, then die cut them. Wishing was die cut in Daffodil Delight for the background and Basic White for the word. The sentiment was stamped in Daffodil Delight, die cut, and adhered with small strips of Mini-Stampin Dimensionals (#144108). Thank goodness for Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to adhere everything else on this card!! I added a bow of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (#164715) to complete my card.
