Repeating Hearts

Today's card is another featured card at my Pattern Paper class. I love the idea of repeating shapes on a cards. For this one, I pulled a ton of coordinating purple papers and started punching out hearts. After adding those, I picked some coordinating ribbon and added a cute tag for a sentiment.

#17 Mint and Melon

Today's sketch comes from December 2016:

Here's what I originally did:

Can you tell I love polka dots? I really really do. Thankfully I found some great polka dot papers in my scrap box to use for today's card. I also rediscovered some glimmer paper in the bottom of the the box. Yeah for a super fun polka-dotted sparkly card!

Melon Birds

Today's card features two underused retiring products: Birdcage Builder Stamp Set and Pop of Pink DSP. I love the mix of patterns for the background paper. For some reason, I've been hoarding this paper... Nice to let it shine on a card. And those little Melon Mambo birds are too cute in their cages.

My card features my favorite Sale-a-Bration item: Tasty Trucks Stamp Set. This little truck is too cute and can be made into so many different styles. I went with a cupcake truck today complete with a cupcake pyramid. After coloring in my truck, I added a few DSP layers to give it some extra oomph. To finish the card, I added a trio of gold enamel circles.
