Hi there…after a couple of busy weeks, I’m happy to be back creating. Whenever I need a creative jump start, I look for a few challenges. They’re usually just the inspiration I need and today’s card is a perfect example of that. The Paper Players have a great theme challenge this week.
I knew exactly which stamp set I was going use…Stampedous Frog Yoga. I’ve had this set for quite some time and even had some of the frogs already colored just waiting to be popped on a card.
I decided my meditating frog needed some kind of “zen” background. I chose the Captivating Mandala stencil from My Favorite Things and stenciled it with Distress Oxide Inks. I cut the tiny cupcakes from retired SU Birthday Memories DSP to go along with the sentiment. I also stenciled a corner of the envelope.
Here’s a peek into the inside of the card with another funny sentiment.
I often make cupcakes to take to friends and family. I’ll save this card to go with a sweet gift of cupcakes.
Thanks for checking in today!

Oh, Rosanne…what a hoot! These sentiments crack me up. Plus, the yoga frog looks so relaxed holding those cupcakes. I LOVE your stenciled zen background. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face and thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
Glad this made you smile, Ann! Your challenge was such fun inspiration.
This is really cute.
Thanks, Jill! Hope you are doing well.
Thank you for sharing your terrific card and envelope. The colors go so well with the frog. Your coloring on the frog is awesome.
Thanks for the kind comment, Glenda!
