You're All Heart

I actually made some cards this week! What!?!?!?!

I finally, finally pulled out and used the Modern Heart Stamp Set (after it’s been retired of course). I love this great geometric heart. Such possibilities! For these cards, I dug through my random DSP scraps to find some fun color combos and patterns and chose two to make cards from. I ended up pulling out a ton of retired colors for the first card. I actually really loved the more subdued color palette on the first card. To finish I added a simple sentiment and some great accessories.

For the second card, I chose a much brighter color palette. It’s very colorful in person!

Bermuda Bay Cupcake

Today’s card is a CASE from Amy Koenders @ Stamp with Amy K. I loved the little cupcake with the oval sentiment and fun pattern paper as a background. I pulled out my own supplies and set about recreating her card. Love the results! Very fun and bright!

A Cup of Giggles

Today’s card is a celebration of bright colors and fun beverages! The Coffee Cafe stamp set and coordinating dies are always a favorite in my stash. For this card, I made a fun confection in Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana. This striped paper from the How Sweet It Is DSP pack is just too fun. You’ll be seeing again later this month.

Jar of Sweets

Today’s card is another from the How Sweet it Is Suite! I just love the fun colors of the suite and wanted to make a few candy-filled cards. This particular design is a CASE from the demonstrator magazine Stampin’ Success. I loved the look of layered pieces and highlighted colors. I change the sentiment piece and added some glitter enamel dots (from the annual catalog), but kept the design the same!

Sweetest Birthday

Today’s card is was part of our demo group’s Occasions Catalog swap. I saw the new How Sweet It Is Suite and had to have all the products! The colors are so much fun! And the candy images are too cute. For this card, I started with my favorite pattern out of the pack to create a fun background. From there, I stamped, colored, cut, and assembled the candy jars. The finishing touch was the beautiful two-tone ribbon! I love who the Coastal Cabana sides blends into the DSP strip, allowing the Granny Apple Green side to really pop!
