Stampin’ Up! Simply Zinnia Sample 1
This is a card that we made in my March classes. It is extremely easy to create this card using the new OnLine Exclusive Simply Zinnia suite of products. The card base is Berry Burst. The Flowering Zinnia DSP was cut into 4" x 6" pieces. I fussy cut the top of the DSP. Depending on what piece of the DSP you received, the top might be slightly different.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Lavender Double Z Fold
I came across a beautiful card on Pinterest and was inspired to recreate it. I made a few changes to the front of the card, but otherwise, I followed the original card.

Stampin’ Up! Meadow Dies Using Vellum for Tech4Stampers Blog Hop February
The Tech4Stampers Blog Hop is today and the theme is Ways With Vellum. Since that groundhog did not see his shadow, I decided on a spring card. Spring is my favorite season although where I live I feel like spring is always later than I would like. Years ago it was all the rage to get your colors done, so of course, I got my mine done. I turned out to be a spring, not surprising. Here are the details of my card. I tried to use the in-colors that are retiring in a few months. They have been one...

Yesterday's post told you about a challenge that Stampin' Up! is doing during February. If you missed it, you can see it here. My first card is created using the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I am sorry that my picture is a little fuzzy. I have even photographed it again and still fuzzy. What makes it even worse is the one on the right is perfect. Go figure! The background is Tahitian Tide - which will be retiring in May. I cut a separate piece for the front...
