Sharing my Love for Stampin', Scrappin', and anything Paper!
So I needed to make some 3 x 3 Note cards and was inspired by a card a saw on Pinterest by Tracy May – so these are what I came up with!
Love ALL the color combos and how extremely FAST these were to make! The Butterfly punch is retired but you can use the Butterflies Thinlits also.
I used the Work of Art, Swirly Bird and Thankful Thoughts stamp set all by Stampin’ Up! Want to know how I made them please ask!
As always – Thanks for stopping by and…
Happy Stampin,

Good Morning and Happy Saturday! Welcome to Day #6 of Mermaid Week!
Today’s card was inspired by another Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (Lisa LoPresti Curcio). She did a Beautiful Card using the New stamp set “Fabulous Flamino” from Stampin’ Up! When I saw her card it was just breath taking. Don’t have that set “YET” so of course what came to mind???
Yes my current obsession “Magical Mermaid”! So here is what I created! I did get a little heavy handed with the Tango Tangerine BUT it was to late! I will be doing this one again!
I ended up LOVING the final results though! There is something about it that just draws me in!
Here is a close up! Makes me want to go to the beach and watch the sunset! Here are the materials I used.

Well it’s officially still Thursday and so I’m here with Card #4 of Mermaid Week!
I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest for this card. I haven’t done the “Sponging Technique” in AGES it seems. So I’m pretty pleased with how this one came out.
Using Emerald Envy Ink and stamped the image in Calypso Coral. How FUN is this card! Of course I used the Magical Mermaid Set too! I don’t know there is just something about this set that I just LOVE! Well until tomorrow thanks for stopping by and as always….

Seriously don’t you want to be apart of her world? Doesn’t she remind you of a Little Mermaid named “Ariel”! Could it be the reddish hair? So again using the “Magical Mermaid” Stamp set by Stampin’ Up! ( 144-017) I created this card! I’m seriously obsessed with this set! I’ve also used the Tranquil Tide Cardstock, Tranquil Tide, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Black Archival Inks. Wink of Stella, Blenders pens too! Oh and Circle Punches, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8.
As you know from my last post I’ve got more Mermaids coming! I might make this Magical Mermaid week! That sounds like a plan. I mean after all I do have 8 or more to go! LOL! Ok, this is my 3rd post for today! I’ll post more tomorrow – I mean after all this is Mermaid week!
Thanks for stopping by and as always……

Happy Friday Stampers! I wanted to share another Sneak Peek on my 2nd Swap. I didn’t have time to write down all the supplies used for this one but will post the full card next week when I get home!
All I can say is I’m loving the New In-Colors this year and who doesn’t like Ice Cream????
I am in LOVE with this set called “Sprinkles of Life” (139971) and it’s this years Ronald McDonald House set! With every stamp set bought Stampin’ Up! donates $3.00 to the Ronald McDonald House! How awesome is that! Plus this one also has a matching punch! Of course it does!!
