It’s Thursday, and time to play at Pals Paper Arts. This week, the Pals are treating us to a refreshing color challenge: Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron. This trio of hues made me think of spring and flowers. I pulled out the Field Flowers set and stamped and snipped to my heart’s content. Enjoy today’s blooms and butterflies!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
This finished card measures 4-1/4″ wide by 5-1/2″ long.
- Doing the two-step! I love two step stamping, especially when I have my Stamp-a-ma-jig handy for perfect alignment. Today’s bouquet was stamped in So Saffron, and over-stamped with Calypso Coral. How pretty is that
- A bevy of blinged bitty butterflies! Creating butterflies is a breeze with the Bitty Butterfly Punch. Of course, a few Rhinestones adds a touch of sparkle.
- Bow beautiful! A double Pear Pizzazz Taffeta bow is scrunched up and held in position with a few glue dots. Don’t you just love this look?
Lexi Lou and I have started our whirlwind weekend. We have four shows in a row, as well as a graduate trumpet recital. We’ll be racing from Crown Point, IN to Columbia, MO on Sunday to listen to Brady. I am keeping my fingers crossed that both of my babies do well this weekend!

Don’t you think the haircolor is similar? Plus, they both have that intent look about them. And…Lexi will be sporting a new bit of bling in the ring…her “big girl” lead. Now she won’t have to use Muffy’s hand-me-down!
As always, I LOVE reading your comments. Won’t you let me know what you think of today’s card in your comment today? Of course, if you ever have any questions about the cards I create or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…
I adore your work and this card is stunning!
Beautiful card, Ann! I haven’t done the two step in a while. I need to soon!
An absolutely gorgeous card!
Ann, I love this card. The colours are pretty, the papers are just right and the punched border down the side with the pearls finishes it off nicely.
So beautiful, Ann. As always, your cards are heirloom quality!
