We Create - Reason To Smile

I am not sure how it happens, but it seems like the all the things fall on the first week of the month.  I am always so grateful to get past those few days.  I am loving the wet spring we have been experiencing with a few warm days.  The flowers are popping and gorgeous.

Welcome to the We Create Blog Hop.  We are highlighting our favorite things from the new Stampin' UP Catalog.  There are only a few of us and you won't want to miss a thing!  

I have several favorites and all for different reasons.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the in colors for 2022-2024.  They are bright cheery and so fun to use.  I chose to highlight the Reason to Smile stamp set.   

This stamp set enables me to make a great card in just a few minutes.  I used my Stamparatus and masked the floral parts of the stamp and inked and stamped in black.  Once I got the intensity of black I wanted, I removed the masks and with my stamp n write markers I colored the flowers and was able to stamp them in exactly the right place.

I always think about who I would send my card to as I make it.  I immediately thought of my sweet SIL who passed away late fall last year.  She always gave me a reason to smile.  I think I will just hang this card on my pin board and every time I see it I will think of her!
