My granddaughter has a large collection of stuffed sheep, and she has organized them into families and created a family tree. This card is for her.

It is frigid here this week so I am again dreaming of my hometown where palm trees grow in abundance. The new Beach Boardwalk suite already has become a favorite. It is so versatile I can't stop making cards with it!.

Yellow is one of my favorite colors, and I like it paired with brown. This simple card allows both colors to shine. I used both current and retired products to create this card.

The new Covered in Flowers Accents by Stampin' Up! are white paperboard precut designs, which are ready to use as-is and are easily customized with ink, pencils, or blending tools. For the first card, I punched out the petals. For the second one, I left the petals and used Blends Markers to color the flowers and leaves. To add interest, I used Early Espresso cardstock paired with Beautiful Bokeh paper.

I decided to use the washi tape as a background, which showed it off well. I added a few tired items to provide interest.

I chose to create a card with soft pastel colors. I chose this set because I liked how the Cloud Cover ink was just the right color, especially when paired with Soft Sea Foam. The new Cloud Cover ribbon is soft with a lovely sheen. Finally, because I wanted a simple card with a lot of white space, I chose an embossing folder to add interest.

I am fond of pairing new sets with other ones that coordinate. I chose the big leaf as the focal point for this card.

I am a busy bee creating Valentine's for a few local shops. I used both current and retired Stampin' Up! supplies. Wel also will create valentines in my upcoming workshops.
