Vertical Greetings for What Will You Stamp?

Good Morning and welcome to my blog.  It's Monday so that means another round of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  Our featured stamp set this week is Vertical Greetings which is being carried over into the Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  I was pretty happy when I saw that because I think I have only used this set one other time and it needs some more love before it retires.  My card is showing off a little sneak peek of a new pack of Designer Series Paper called Delightful Daisy.  Love it!!!

Although I didn't use any of the greetings today there are many times when a vertical greeting is just the thing to complete your card and there are plenty to choose from as you can see below.

Remember to check back at the WWYS Blog to see what the other Design Team members have to share.

That's the Tag for What Will You Stamp?

Hello and welcome back.  The What Will You Stamp? Design Team is using That's the Tag today.  I'm totally in love with this flower die from the Timeless Tags Thinlits.  I know it's probably supposed to be a white daisy, but it's my card and I took a little creative license by making a Melon Mambo daisy.  I think the bright colors make the daisy pop off the card.

There are lots of great sentiments in the stamp set, but I'm always in need of birthday cards so that seems to be my "go to".

I'm sure the rest of the Design Team at WWYS is going to have some great projects to share today so don't forget to go over there and check them out.

Autism Matters Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog and the 2017 Autism Matters Blog Hop.  Quite a few Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world have agreed to take part in today's Blog Hop to help raise awareness and funds for Autism research and services for those with Autism.

Many children with autism have a reduced sensitivity to pain but may be extra sensitive to sound, touch, or other sensory stimulation—which may contribute to a reluctance to being cuddled or hugged.

Can you imagine what it must be like to have a child that you can't hug?  I have a dear friend whose son has Autism along with various other issues, and I know first hand that Autism impacts the entire family.  That's why this Blog Hop is so important...we hope to raise awareness and funds for Autism Speaks.

I used the Stampin' Up! stamp set Over the Rainbow for my card because I thought the sentiment was perfect for today.   We all need to believe that God gives us hope.

Following is a listing of all the fantastic participants who are giving of their talent and time to make this Austism Speaks Blog Hop and Fundraiser a success.

1- Kimberly Van Diepen
2- Kylie Bertucci
3- Lee Conrey
4- Rachel Bronson Yukanin
5- Heather Wright Porto
6- Susan Best  You Are Here
7- Louise Sharp
8- Candy Rattray
9- Maureen Rauchfuss
10- Tammy Fite

Weather Together for What Will You Stamp?

Today's stamp set for the What Will You Stamp? challenge is Weather Together.  I had so much fun creating this card.  I actually designed and made it in January and had to wait until now to share it.  I usually don't make things so far in advance for the challenge and it just about killed me to wait for today's reveal.  I used the new Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils to color everything and I combined Weather Together with Bella & Friends and love the finished product! 

Cute little Bella says who needs a balloon to fly when you can have a fancy umbrella.  

Weather Together is a great stamp set that would work well for so many occasions.  I've seen it used for everything from wedding and baby showers to sympathy.  

This is also one of those stamp sets that has matching framelits which can be purchased as a bundle with a savings of 10%. 

The rest of the Design Team is going to have some great projects to share today so don't forget to head back to WWYS and check them out.
