Clean & Simple Razzleberry - Awash with Flowers
I made several of these Thinking of You cards and I do love Rich Razzleberry! After making several, I added some Crushed Curry small flowers which I loved- that extra pop of color really finished off the card. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of that card before I sent it off this weekend.

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Rich Razzleberry, Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry

Sale-A-Bration - Happy Moments
I stamped the flowers image from Happy Moments randomly over my Whisper White cardstock. Then I colored the flowers with my markers and used a Ticket Corner Punch on all four corners. The sentiment is from Define Your Life - I just love this stamp set! I used the Scallop Trim Punch both inside and outside the card - love that little bit of the card front carried through to the inside.

Color Challenge - Bella's Blossoms
I can't stop using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impression Folder from the Occasions Mini Catalog! I used it here on the Pretty in Pink layer. I stamped the sentiment, from the SAB exclusive stamp set Whimsical Words, in Chocolate Chip ink onto the Whisper White strip. Then I stamped flowers and blooms from Bella's Blooms stamp set in Pretty in Pink and So Saffron inks. This stamp set is just one of the many optional sets you can earn for FREE this month. The swirls peeking out from behind the Chocolate Chip mats are from the Bigz Tulipe Die for the Big Shot. Then I wrapped a knot of the Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon with a tag from Tiny Tags and the Jewelry Tag Punch. All of these are from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

I stamped the elephant 4 times in different inks and then added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the flowers on his ears, punched him with my 1 1/4" Circle Punch and mounted him onto Gable Green 1 3/8" Circle Mats. I stamped the 'small wonder' sentiment onto the front of my Whisper White panel and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder. A Ticket Corner Punch to finish off the corners and a quick and sweet card is done!

Color Challenge - Go Green
I punched out 4 Full Hearts from Glorious Green cardstock, then I ran them through the Big Shot with the Finial Press Textured Impressions Folder to add some detail. I sponged the edges with a Sponge Dauber and Glorious Green ink. I also used one of the stamps from Kind & Caring Thoughts to background stamp - I thought it looked clover-ish.
The lucky sentiment is from Define Your Life - this is a stamp set that I use so often!

Challenges - Happy Moments
The 2 Step Bird Punch punches out three pieces - the leafy branch, the bird body and the bird wing. I used some of the Sweet Pea Paper Stack for the background of this card. Then I punched my bird from Taken with Teal cardstock and sponged the edges of all the pieces. The wing is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals. The branch is punched from Old Olive cardstock. I added a little sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes to the bottom of the main panel. I love that stamp set - it has a sentiment for nearly any occasion!

Nouveau Chic - Thank You
I punched 1 1/4" Squares from different patterns of the Nouveau Chic DSP and also Scallop Punched a piece of the darker pattern paper from this pack. The Scallop piece is layered behind the top left square. I cut a thin strip of Very Vanilla cardstock and knotted it through a button for the top right square. I also stamped the sentiment 'for you' in Basic Gray ink over this piece of DSP. I tied a knot in a scrap of Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon and wrapped that around the lower left square. Finally, I stamped the silhouette flower image from Kind Thoughts, a Hostess Level III stamp set, in More Mustard ink onto a piece of More Mustard cardstock. This piece is layered under a Very Vanilla Hodge Podge Hardware frame and secured with Very Vanilla Brads from the same kit.
