This is about as straight forward as a card can get….can you say easy-peasy!!! This is super quick! Today I realized that there are single stamps that Stampin' Up! are offering only until the end of March! There are some really great stamps and this is the only time you can get them……so – the moral of this story is… shop and click away!
This card is the basic layout that I did a couple of days ago with the cupcake – I basically just stamped the simple "hello-hello" in Midnight Muse and beause it was such an odd shape…I thought what the heck – just freehand it! I matted it on Crumb Cake…freehanded that as well – slapped it on with dimensionals….popped a couple of pearls = DONE! Well not quite – I looked at it and felt ot was a bit boring so I just added piece of Crumb Cake Ribbon + a simple knot = the finished card! – BAM!!! If you have not purchased the Print Poetry Paper….BUY IT….the colors and prints are too die for!!!!!
Here are a couple of the single stamps that are available! Sorry – I was having "Susan computer difficulties" and could not figure out how to download all if then nice and neatly….so please go and click here and you will be guided to all of them! There are some real keepers and remember they are only here until March 31st!

I love animals…all animals but my loves are my dogs, horses and my dear little pig, Daisy Mae! Daisy had visitor yesterday and they hit it off! Quinn Phillips came to town to visit her Godmother and they came out to our home to pay Daisy a visit! Quinn and Daisy were friend at first sight! Naturally Daisy needs to send Quinn a note thanking her for the blueberries and carrots she gave her!
I admit…I totally bought this stamp set, Button Buddies, just for the pig! Daisy became a family member in November and I will say – It was one of the happiest days I can remember! I cannot tell you why I love pigs so much, but I have always…always wanted a pig! This year I turn 50…age is no biggie to me at all and I have told my family that this is all I want for my 50th (my husband was g iven 2 minature donkeys for his 50th)…even though he didn't want them…I did!!!
After stampin' the pig in black (just like Daisy) I felt the square's were fitting (sorry Daisy … you really aren't square ~ you're a beautiful piggie!!!!)…I punched out the 1" squares with Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist paper…adhered them to a piece of scrap card stock ~ then ran it through Mr. Big Shot with the Houndstooth Folder to give it a WHAM….just like Daisy! I felt the black was a bit too stark so I framed the sides with a peek of white!
I knew I needed just a short and sweet (just like Daisy) sentiment, so out came the Teeny Tiny Wishes…Quinn…this card is "just for you" from Daisy Mae! I thought it still needed something so I went to my punches and pulled out the ticket duo builder and pop it went ~
S T R E T C H I N G
it a bit…I peeked out a bit of black from each side! Perfect!
By now you know me….Stampin' Dimensionals were a must for this dear little piggie and sentiment…but…the button makes her! This came from the Subtles Designer Buttons, something that I do not use often but don't know why as they are cute! The best way to adhere them is with Glue Dots! Naturally I need to line my envelope and sooooo easy – just go to the Subtles Designer Paper ( cause' it matches!!!!) ~ Stampin' Up! makes it soooooo easy!
Thank you, Quinn and Haven, for coming out to see my dear Daisy! She loved each and every moment of it…I told Quinn when we go out of town….Daisy could come stay with her!!!! ( Her Mom and Dad are going to love me!!!!)…
