I was excited to use the Elements Of Text Stamp Set on a “clean & simple” thank you card. First, I stamped the words in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Text and Dragonflies
After stamping, I backed the layer with Floral Delight Designer Paper 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The flowers are also from the Floral Delight Designer Paper, which I fussy cut, and attached with Dimensionals.
“Thank you so very much” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. My “clean & simple” card was complete after adding three Adhesive Backed Dragonflies.

Today’s card is a square design, so let’s start with the card base. The Mossy Meadow Cardstock was cut 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″. The Basic White Cardstock layer is 4″ X 4″, which I scored, using the Paper Trimmer, 1/4″ on all sides. This is a fun way to add a simple border. Then, I used a Blending Brush and Mossy Meadow Ink to add a touch of color to the center of the card front. The spray of dots was created by tapping an Old Olive Stampin’ Blend over the card.
Faith Collection Square Card
Next, I used a Faith Collection stamp for the cross and palm fronds. I stamped it in VersaMark, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool.
“He is risen” is from the Faith Collection Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. Prior to attaching the sentiment with Mini Dimensionals, I added some color to the Basic White Cardstock with a Blending Brush. As a final detail, I placed three, Iridescent Foil Gems.
I was Inspired by TGIF.

For this week’s Global Design Project, I had fun CASEing Janneke De Jong’s watermelon card. I love her color combination of pink and green.
I began by stamping three, small, flowers, from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set, in Flirty Flamingo Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used a Delightful Wishes Die for cutting, and placed the flowers on Dimensionals.
Wishing you well
Next, I used a Blending Brush with Old Olive Ink to create a “spot” on Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″. Then, I stamped leaves, and the sentiment, “you well” in Old Olive Ink. Both are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. To complete the sentiment, I used a Delightful Wishes Die to cut “wishing” from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in place. I used white to keep the attention on the lower half of the card, like Janneke.
Also like Janneke, I glued the white layer to Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. This was attached, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. As a final touch, I added three, Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

Hanging a heart from a tree branch was an idea that came to me, and I created, years ago. For today’s card I’m using a variety of new products. I began by using a Hearts Of Elegance Die to cut two hearts from Bloom Impressions Designer Paper. This paper is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration items, only available until February 28, or while supplies last.
Tree Branch Heart
The wonderful, tree branch was cut with a Delightful Wishes Die from Country Woods Designer Paper. I gave it dimension by layering it on cardstock.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Melon Mambo card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I created a stencil with an Around It All Die, and colored the odd shaped circle with a Blending Brush and Melon Mambo Ink. Then, I gave it texture with the Eyelet Embossing Folder.
The sentiment, “my heart loves your heart” is from the Heart Shaped Bundle, another FREE Sale-a-bration item. I stamped it in Melon Mambo Ink, and used a Delightful Wishes Die for cutting. After gluing the label on top of the heart, I attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added three, Shiny Sequins.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Wishing you a wonderful day of gifting, and receiving, Valentine cards!
If you haven’t already seen the Heirlooms Arrangements Kit, get ready to fall in love. It became available February 4th, and is my favorite kit to date. There are 8 card bases with many, many, images to “arrange.” There are two cards with instructions, which are so pretty, I copied them exactly as instructed. The only thing I did differently was use Liquid Glue, instead of the tape provided in the kit. These were easy and fun to put together!
Heirloom Arrangements Kit
Then, I copied a third (I feel lucky to have you) card, without instructions, by looking at a picture of a sample in the kit. I did my own selecting and arranging on the fourth (thank you) card.
I’m happy to say, I have four card bases, with many images remaining, for additional cards. There’s lots of room for creativity here!
The second kit that was introduced this month is a winner also, named So Much To Celebrate. It’s a real bargain for nine cards! You’ll find both kits in my Product List below.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month’s theme is “The Language of Love.” We hope our creations inspire you today! The lineup at the end of my post will help guide you to all the Pals participating today.
I hope that today’s card “makes your heart smile,” and you feel the love. I began by coloring Basic White Cardstock with Blending Brushes and three colors of ink: Pretty In Pink, Poppy Parade, and Flirty Flamingo. Then, I stamped the large, Layers Of Beauty stamp, in Memento Black Ink on top of the blended colors. After stamping, I used the second largest, Hearts Of Elegance Die, for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. Don’t you love the detailed edge of this heart?
Layers Of Beauty
Next, I created the background with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, embossed with the Layered Florals Embossing Folder. This was glued to a Pretty In Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “You make my heart smile,” is from the Layers Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used a Delicate Forest Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I put two Dimensionals under “smile,” because of the raised heart, to keep the label even. As a final touch, I attached three, pink, Rainbow Dots.
Thank you for stopping by.
We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. We invite you to join us next month when our theme will be “Birthday Celebrations.” Until then, have fun in your craft space.
