It’s the last Sunday of the month (again, how!?), which means it’s time to hop with my NC Demos group. Our core team of bloggers had the rare treat of being all in one place at the same time during Stampin’ Up!’ OnStage in March. You might have already stopped by Toni Campana’s Blog, but if you are just popping in this month our theme this month is inspired by our group photo:

It’s Hip to Be Square! We are challenged this hop to create a project that features squares.
I chose to use the new In-Color Strawberry Slush, as well as new products: the Celebratory Sips 12 x 12 DSP:

And, the Party Piggy Stamp set:

These products will be new Online Exclusives will be available to customers in early May.
Here’s my card:

Here’s a closer look at the “star square”:

The pitcher and drinks are from the DSP, and the background squares are also a pattern of the DSP. Just add a sentiment, and you are good to go — Quick and Easy!
I had some extra DSP squares left over, so made a 2nd card:

So much fun! Spring in a glass…

What an awesome card for the summer months. Love it
Thank you so much Tina!
Your cards are SOOO fun, Kelly! I love the cheerful colors! Thank you SO much for sharing!
Thank you so much Tracie!!
Great card, Kelly! I just love this paper, I’ve ordered the limit for pre-order and will definitely be ordering more once we’re allowed 🙂
Me too – I love it. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much, but both the A and B sides are great patterns.
Kelly – Your cards just make me smile and think of summer! They are so fun and inviting. Thanks so much for sharing. It was great to see you at OnStage last month!
Thank you so much Laurie!! So wonderful to see you in March too!
Kelly, this paper is perfect for this card. So cute. It was great to meet you in Raleigh.
Thank you so much Frances! And so fun to meet you too!!
I don’t know what I’ll do when they retire Stylish Shapes some day. You know it’s coming sometime. Love that Celebratory Sips paper. I haven’t really paid it any attention. It has pretty colors. Great cards too! Thanks.
Thank you so much Jo Anne! And, I agree with you about Stylish Shapes. Although there was a stitched shape die set a few years ago that I said the same thing about, and now can’t even remember its name!
