This card (loaded with sneak peeks from the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog) and these colors shout “fresh and vibrant” to me! It can easily be changed from a Baby Shower card to birthday, thank you or get well with the simple flip of a sentiment! The design began with this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO273).
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS (“NEW” products will be available Jan. 3 with the release of the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog):
- NEW! Rain or Shine stamp set is sure to brighten your day with umbrella and sentiment images. I cropped off the decorative tips of the points with my Paper Snips to keep the look clean (and made snipping a snap).
- NEW! Stampin’ Up! Ovals Framelits Dies (available Jan. 3) offer a variety of oval sizes for perfect layering.
- I love the look of the oval punch layered over the die cut from Apothecary Accents Framelits. It was inspired by a project created by Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Cathy Schroeckenthaler, a member of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Virtual Community.
- NEW x 2! The little butterfly was cropped using the Bitty Butterfly Punch and Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (DSP). I used the same DSP for the striped pattern and die cut background for the sentiment. Colors include: Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Whisper White.
- NEW! Melon Mambo 3/8″ Striped Organdy Ribbon provides a sweet accent.

Is there a punch for the umbrella! Or how did you cut it out so perfectly?
Your cards are always my favorite Mary you have such great ability to combine elements and color for the perfect card.

Mary, Great card! I’m not nearly as good with my snips. I think I like the ovals & punch the best. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Paula

Elaine in Kentucky needs to go back and buy the umbrellas stamp set. So cute. The catalog has so many exciting stamps!
I love this card. The colors are so bright and vibrant; the umbrella is just adorable, but I think my favorite is the butterfly; I can’t wait to order the Bitty Butterfly punch. I love the brad you added to the butterfly to make him really pop!
I love the colors, and the clean design! I adore the butterfly and the ribbon is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your talent, you do beautiful work!
What a STINKIN CUTE card you created Mary. One of my favorite items in the new catalog is this yummy 3/8″ Striped Organdy Ribbon…….LOVE the Melon Mambo. Thanks for sharing your card with us and Merry Christmas Mary!
This is darling, Mary! I love the bright colors and the sweet little posy on the umbrella.
This is a really beautiful and fresh card that indeed shouts Spring to me. The ribbon is gorgeous, Mary and that umbrella it’s cut so amazingly perfect that I really thought it was done with a punch or a die. You have some amazing paper snip skills. I can’t wait for my Spring catalog to start dreaming of getting some of this beautiful new SU products.
