Bluebells of Spring
Today’s card is a beautiful card that makes me think of the Bluebells blooming in the Spring when I was a child. I made it for a friend as an encouragement. I used the Springtime Foils DSP. I love this cardstock. It can be used in so many ways. I chose to color my flower using Night of Navy Stampin Pad and my Blender pen.
One of the layout used for this card is from the
and the other one is from our group’s monthly challenge – Flowers– Anything with flowers or a bunch of flowers. Click on picture and you will see details of where I found this beautiful picture of a flower.
I started with a card base using a Retired color, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay would work just as well in place of the Coastal Cabana. I then cut a piece of Whisper White for the first mat. The second mat is cut from a piece of Night of Navy. I embossed using a polka dot embossing folder.
I used my Oval Scalloped dies to cut a piece from the Springtime Foils DSP (FREE with a $50 purchase through March 31) I colored the flowers using Night of Navy Stampin Pad and my Blender Pen.
I tied a bow around the Night of Navy mat and art piece after popping the art piece on the Night of Navy Cardstock using Stampin Dimensionals. I popped this on the Whisper White mat that had been adhered to the Coastal Cabana card base.

Potential Backorders on Select Stampin’ Blends
Since the introduction of Stampin’ Blends in October 2017, our forecasting and planning department has been closely monitoring our Stampin’ Blends inventory and customers’ buying patterns. Over the last couple of months, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the sales of Stampin’ Blends, which is wonderful—you and your customers are buying them, using them, and loving them!
Unfortunately, the quick increase in sales, along with a long lead time from our supplier in China, and the temporary shutdown of all factories in China for the government-mandated Chinese New Year holiday, has created a perfect storm for backorders. In the next coming weeks, we anticipate that approximately 14 of our current 27-color Stampin’ Blends collection will go on backorder:
- Bermuda Bay (Light and Dark)
- Bronze
- Calypso Coral (Dark)
- Crumb Cake (Light and Dark)
- Ivory
- Pink Pirouette (Light and Dark)
- Pool Party (Light and Dark – currently on backorder)
- Pumpkin Pie (Dark)
- Smoky Slate (Light and Dark)
Because of Chinese New Year, we don’t yet have a firm date of when more of these colors will be available, but we anticipate it won’t be until the end of April.
Letting you know of this potential backorder situation could result in our current inventory being depleted even more quickly; however, we wanted to give our customers the opportunity to purchase your favorite Stampin’ Blends colors before they go on backorder.
Buying the entire set of Stampin Blends during Sale-A-Bration would qualify you for 2 FREE products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.

It’s often the damaged parts of ourself that serve as a catalyst to find and express unspeakable beauty. Our dance might not be the same as before our challenges, but when we use them as stepping stones instead of weights, we move to higher, more unique, and fulfilling rhythm. No matter what, be determined to dance on! Princess Sassy Pants
