I knew that I loved this stamp set, You're Sublime, but I even love it more today as "Mr. Frog" is so darn tootin' cute! The idea was inspired when the wonderful "Chris R. from Iowa" sent me a link to a card that she knew I would like and YEP, I loved the concept!
Please see the post that SUD, Robin Messenheimer did with "Mr. Frog" that gave me today's inspiration! I needed a couple of thank you notes to get out so why not make the recipients even smile even more when they see this adorable little guy!
Where did that hat come from? Is was from the September Paper Pumpkin Kit….I still think that this was the BEST kit that has come thru the Pumpkin Patch in a while but don't worry…I can also see antlers from the Wonderland stamp set on "Mr. Frog"
I have a big smile on my face every time I look at this card as I am typing this up for you! The overall size of the card is a 4 1/2" square and the designer FUN Polka Dot paper is a 4" square with the black just a "smidge" bigger!
The circles were made from the SPEED TOOLS – the circles framelits! Can you image trying to cut out a perfect circle! My Big Shot to the rescue each and every time…and then I smile! This is one tool that never ceases to amaze me – it is a MUST HAVE for what we do!
The aqua painters were the FUN factor…if you have not tried them – WHY ARE YOU WAITING? they are fun, they are addictive and the more you play with them, the better and more confident you feel!
The green is pear pizzazz….maybe a different choice but I think that he looks cute! You could have also mixed with the old olive but I tend to like for speed to use just one color (well the real truth is that i do not know a think about the whole shading thing)
The ease of making your own envelopes is so fast, so easy…just the icing on the cake! I am still amazed at how many of you are skeptical of making your own envelopes…..I truly wish that you would email me and I will be glad to help you! It is like learning to ride a bike….once you have it – you have it!
Are you smiling? He is one cute little frog and I am excited to get him "ALL DRESSED UP FOR CHRISTMAS" and big thanks to Chris R. for sending this nudge my way…..she just knew that I would love it and I did!
It is Tuesday, so please click here and see this weeks offerings, remember that these weekly deals are from today until next Monday – thank you ….thank you Stampin' Up! for doing this for us!
Toadally cute! Can’t believe that hat fits so perfectly!
This “Prince” is so adorable and works perfectly with the square card. I can see him leaping for the candy now! Love it!
You are so right! Darn toot’n cute. Susan can you tell me the name or where on Amazon you got your bags to store your projects to protect them. Thanks

Thanks for the cute card today. I know your recipients will definitely have a smile when they see them.
A card that brings out a big smile!
Oh YES I’m smiling!!! This is really a cute, cute card. Love the colors too. I’m behind, but wanted to say that was a great pic of Hannah and Milo yesterday, as was the card. I also loved the white snowflakes on the black, on Sunday’s Step-It-Up card.
🙂
I knew you would love it! Besides antlers I can see a little Santa hat and maybe holding a candy cane? He could hold a heart for Valentines Day too. But, wouldn’t he look cute sporting bunny ears? SU are you listening – we need more of these coordinating stamps from the Paper Pumpkin kits to go with our little guy!
Let’s see star on his head and garland for a green tree! Party hat for New Years or birthdays? Pilgrim hat for Thanksgiving that could also double for St. Patrick’s Day with him holding a shamrock? Ah, I think the Diet Coke I just had went to my head! So glad you enjoyed Robin’s post! It definitely made me smile!
Extremely cute!! I love the DSP with the orange circles that coordinate with the orange spots on your frog!! Love it!
I am smiling! He is too cute!! And I love the way you matched his spots to the polka-dot paper.
Cute! I didn’t care about that stamp set one way or the other, but now I’m interested!
Cyberhugs!
Enjoy the colors before it snows!
another winner Susan. what I love about your cards is how they are coordinated so well. good eye!
