March 2022 Stampin' Stray Duckling Waddle - Celebrating Spring!

 Hi All!

This month, the Stampin'Stray Ducklings are celebrating spring in a big way!  

Spring is actually my favorite time of year...I love watching the earth turn green again - the longer days, the warmth in the air and new life surrounding me.  The card I want to show you, makes me happy.  Beautiful softs colors and some shine.  I was inspired by Rachel Tessman who actually designed this card.  I just changed it up a bit to make it my own by making it into an Easter card.  You can see Rachel's original video here.  

I used the beautiful Flowing Flowers Stamp set, Fresh Freesia Card Stock and the beautiful Glittered Organdy Ribbon:

It's quite easy to make - all you use is your ink, paper and stamps (and a few embellishments)

Here is the recipe:

• Stamp Set:  Flowing Flowers, Celebrating You, His Grace (retired)
• Ink:  Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Tuxedo Black
• Card Stock:  Fresh Freesia - 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
•                      Basic White - 3-3/4 x 5 (cut 2 - one for the front, one for the inside)
•                                             1-1/2 x 4 to stamp and punch the front sentiment oval
•                     Highland Heather - 1/12 x 4 to punch the scallop oval

Other Items Used:  Double Oval Punch, Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Brushed Brass Butterflies, Wink of Stella and of course, dimensionals

Hope you enjoyed this card!

March Classes are now in session! Yeah!

Hi All!

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some in person card making classes!  I’ve got the March class all designed - we are going to be making several Easter cards and using some of the beautiful Stampin’Up! designer series paper.  

Dates and Times (tentative) - the classes at my house are limited to 5 people - that’s about all that can fit comfortably around my dining room table!

Tuesday, March 15th - 10am - 2pm - my house

Friday, March 18th - 10am - 2pm - my house

Sunday, March 20th - 1:30 pm - 5pm - my house

Friday, March 25th - 10am - 2pm - Morton Christian Church

I’m doing things a bit different - you will be making 1 of each of these cards with the option of making 2 of the flower card for an additional $3.  Cost for the class is still $20.  If you want to make the extra card, cost is $23.  

Please let me know by Tuesday, March 8th if you will be attending…gotta give me time to cut!

Blessings, Sheryl

Many, Many Valentines

 Hi all! - Happy Valentines Day!

Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentine cards that I've been making for my grand kiddos.  Three of them live in Colorado, so I need to get a wiggle on to get them out, along with their treats.  Since I have 5 grandchildren, I felt I needed to make a couple of different Valentine cards.  

Here is card #1 - cute and more cute!

Here is Card #2

I got the idea for the flip card from fellow Stampin'Up! demonstrator, Brenda Quintana.  Here is the link to her original post and video;  https://www.qbeesquest.com/2021/04/sweet-ice-cream-flip-cards.html

Card #3:  A turtle card:

I also made some cute heart boxes - from instructions created by Brenda Quintana (https://www.qbeesquest.com/2022/01/small-heart-shaped-boxes-tutorial.html).  I changed it up a little by using the Sweet Talk designer series paper on my lid sides.  Two dark chocolate dove heart shaped candies fit perfectly in the box!

Here are some more Valentines that I made:

I'm exhausted.  Almost as bad as Christmas as far as how many cards I've made.  Now to send them out!

Hope you enjoyed my Valentine inspirations.   Have a happy Valentines Day!

Thanks for stopping by.

Blessings,  Sheryl
