As of this morning, Refills for the No Matter the Weather kit are available HERE

No Matter The Weather

When I create alternative cards, I usually go with the first thing I think of.

The stamp sets in the March kit have me thinking simple cards

and stampscaping!

This card uses a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope.

I love to have a pack of Note Cards and Envelopes on hand for quick, clean cards

or for the occasions when I want to create but don’t feel like doing much.

To create this card:

• Start by stamping the rabbit in Smoky Slate. 
• Then, stamp the rabbit again on text weight paper and cut out for a mask.
• After masking the rabbit, use the large cloud stamp in Pear Pizzazz (stamped off once) to create the ground.
• Next, use the smaller cloud stamp in Pear Pizzazz to fill in the blank spots.
• Use the grassy stamp in Old Olive
• Stamp the sentiment in Balmy Blue on Balmy on a 5/8″ x 2-1/8″ piece of Balmy Blue.
• And, finish by adhering the sentiment to the note card with Multipurpose Glue.

Alternative Card 2

For my second alternative project,

I again used a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope.

To create this card:

• Cut a piece of Lovely Lipstick 3″ x 4-1/2″
• Cut a 3″ x 4-1/2″ piece of Whisper White with the Nature’s Thoughts frame die (it’s one of the Coordination Products available through the end of March HERE).
• Then, stamp the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick in the top third of the die cut.
• Next, stamp the rain boot outline in Memento.
• And, stamp the rain boot fill in Lovely Lipstick.
• Now, cut the rain boots out with your Paper Snips.
• Use your 2-1/4″ Circle Punch to cut Whisper White.
• Adhere the Whisper White layer to the Lovely Lipstick layer with Multipurpose Glue.
• Then, tie the layered piece with Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon.
• Adhere to the note card with Dimensionals.
• Adhere the punched circle with Dimensionals.
• Adhere the rain boots to the punched circle with Dimensionals.

I’m sure we can all use something to brighten our day.
