Where do you get inspiration for your cards. Don always asks me did you think that up yourself? I usually say no I got the idea from another card, Pinterest, another demo or from our catalogs.
Well for this card I used the 20 -21 Annual Catalog for inspiration.
I love my Poppies and I just had to make this card.
This really is a fun card to make. So let's get to it.
I hope you enjoy my blog posts and videos and would like to ask if you do that you purchase your Stampin' Up! products from me. The last few months my sales have been off and to remain a demonstrator I need more sales this month. So please to help me either click on a photo above or click here to shop with me. This will help a small business make it through another month. Thank You.

As many of us are self quarantine or doing Social Distancing to help flatten the Curve for the Coronavirus we are spending a lot of time in our homes. For us crafters we have been wanting this prescription for years ( maybe not for this reason, but being told to stay home and not go anywhere is super for me). I have a support group and will be isolating with my husband, so I will have some social interaction. I know some folks that may not have much and they are the ones that really need to stay home without company. This week and net I will be making #simplestamping, fast easy cards to send to them. I hope you will do the same. If you don't know anyone call up a local nursing home and ask who you can send a card to that needs it, you may even want to send one to the staff.
I issue you this challenge to send at least 2 cards out to people that may need it this week and every week this crisis is going on. Let's see if we can easy someone's fear and do what we love to do.

Now is the time to also focus on your family and the April Paper Pumpkin will help you do that.
At Paper Pumpkin, we believe in making a
difference—especially when it comes to helping you build relationships through papercrafting.
For April, we created a fun, family appreciation themed card kit that would
make it easy for you to share your hearts with those you love most: mom, dad,
daughter, son, sister, and brother. April’s kit even includes Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day sentiments, giving you the perfect way to show your appreciation
for beloved parents on their special days with a beautiful, handmade card.
One more thing about this “fam-tastic” kit: The Paper
Pumpkin team knows that everyone’s clan is unique. With that in mind, we
provided sentiments that would include anyone in your life who feels like
family; for instance, “brothers” and “sisters” who have helped you along the
journey of life.
