I think this new SENT WITH LOVE ensemble from Stampin' Up! is really fun!! I used the Designer Paper from this bundle to create Congrats cards to send to my Luv 2 Stamp Group in March. I always send a card to the top 10 in sales each month.
If you need a refresher on how to make these Pocket Cards with the Simply Scored tool and Diagonal scoring plate, VIEW MY VIDEO ONLINE HERE
Simply Scored #122334
Diagonal Scoring plate #125586
Sent with Love DSP #132182
Below: I cut apart one of the sheets in the Sent with Love DSP package to use as tags and embellishments
The colors went well with the free ribbon and button pack from Sale a Bration, so I used that too!

Colored Glimmer Easter Eggs in a die cut basket!
I have instructions below for you if you want to recreate this card for Easter!
This card features the Pop n Cuts base and Dress Form dies, cut with the Big Shot... that is what makes it a pop up card!
The basket is die cut from the Stampin' Up! oval framelits - I saw this idea recently online and now I can't find that email.. so if you came up with this, please leave me a comment so I can give you credit.
The Easter Eggs are colored Silver Glimmer Paper.. if you missed the info on coloring your Silver Glimmer Paper, CLICK HERE to view instructions.
Get ready to color your Easter Eggs, Stampin' Up! style!
adhere handle behind basket with mini glue dots
attach flower trim to basket with sticky strip
I sponged a little crumb cake ink on the basket and cut the bottom off flat.
In this side view you can see how the basket is popped up off the card... really fun!

Happy 22nd Birthday, Jason!
So hard to believe my sweet kiddo turned 22 on Monday.. WHERE did all the years go? One thing I REALLY REALLY love about him is his soft heart for all the sweet birdies and wildlife that visit our backyard. He enjoys feeding them daily and photographing them as well. When I saw these birdy punch art ideas on the internet, I knew I had to copy them to make a card for Jason!
There wasn't a watermark on the bird punch art photo I printed out so I don't know who came up with these ideas, but thank you to whoever it was!
I created them with the Stampin' Up! Bird Punch (#117191) and the stamp from Flowering Flourishes #126365 / 126367 You can purchase then ONLINE HERE
Inside of Jason's Birthday card:
These are some of the birdy photos we've taken in the backyard.. enjoy!

Have you played with the fun Core'dinations paper from Stampin' Up!?
It is currently offered in 3 colors in the Stampin' Up! Spring catalog on pg 12.
As you can see from the cards above, the beauty of this cardstock is that the core of the cardstock is a lighter color than the outside.. so when you use a Stampin' Up! embossing folder and the Big Shot to emboss the paper, then SAND it with the Sanding Block, you reveal the lighter color!
Core'dinations Embossing Instructions
1. cut Core'dinations paper to size
2. insert into embossing folder
3. dry emboss in the Big Shot
4. sand with Sanding Block (#129367)
5. wipe with Core'dinations Dust Buddy (#129366)
Here are more samples I made showcasing a variety of embossing folders:

I've heard from so many friends who are still getting snow, and so many of you have shared your amazing snowy landscape photos with me over the last few weeks.. I really enjoy seeing them... but... I'm also very happy to be here in California in the sunshine.
We worked in the garden yesterday... our 25 year old fence is going to be replaced and we have to take all the vines down that are basically holding up the fence! LOL So we filled our "green can" with clippings and will do it again until the fence is free of vines. Hubby is afraid it will all just fall over before the contrators come.. so we are leaving some vines up for now to hold it all up.
Since we enjoyed many hours in the sunshine and blue sky, I thought I'd share some garden photos with you .. hope this brings a smile, and some warmth to my friends in the snow...
So if you are housebound in the snow.. I hope you are enjoying STAMPING TIME, and if you have a chance to get out in the sunshine, I hope you are enjoying that too!

WELCOME to the March 2013 Control Freaks Blog Tour!!!
We are excited to bring you delightful
Stampin' Up!
Spring & Easter ideas
in the tour this month!!
You have probably joined me after visiting Yvette's blog and you can click on the "next blog" link at the bottom of the post to continue on the tour.
We are in the last few days of Stampin' Up!'s 2013 SALE A BRATION so I thought I'd highlight my very favorite FREE Sale a Bration product..
the Happy Hello Card kit!
I added some happy designer paper from the Summer Smooches package (#125409) in 1/2" wide strips, some pretty Daffodil Delight Stitched ribbon (#126872) and die cut flowers using the Floral Framelits (#127012), Secret Garden framelits (#129372) and Polka Dot Parade DSP (#126902). I cut a 4-1/4"x5-1/2" piece of Real Red cardstock to back the card with.
This happy card is topped off with a stamped and punched HELLO greeting from the FREE Pretty Petites Sale a Bration set and punch.
My 2nd card is a variation of the first one, but I stamped the Secret Garden flower images (#129144) on the Polka Dot Parade DSP and die cut them with the Secret Garden framelits (#129372).
(card inspired by Connie Collins)
I punched leaves with the Blossom Petals Builder punch (#121808) and added the pretty Delicate Detail Lace Tape (#130966) just under the piece of blue tulips.
