Here is a sneak peak of paper and ribbon that will be available April 1 as a preview for the new Catalog in June.  It is sooooo Cheery!

I used the new Framelits to create the card frame.... Scored the frame for easy folding.

Even the strip that the top is resting on is a framelit section. Added a few 1/8 ribbon strips for some added fun.

I know this cards is bright, but needed a little Bling too. The Sentiment is a perfect match for this cheery card.

I was surfing my usual hang outs on the web and on the Operation Write Home Facebook page someone was needing a new challenge.  Someone posted a 3 - 3 - 3 challenge

3 different pattern papers, 3 different embellishments, 3 different ribbons.

All on the same card!

Hummm, I can do that, this is what I came up with.... Just in time for Stamp Camp. 

Here are your 3 ribbons... and 1 of the embellishments.

Here are the other two embellishments, I hope you can make out the Dazzling Details on the butterfly, leaves and the center of the main flower.  Small pearls for the center of the smaller flowers.  

What a great way to step out of your comfort zone!!
