The gardening tools in the Storybook Garden Patch Bundle are wonderful! I bet you have friends who love to garden, and would appreciate a card like this.
Storybook Garden
The tools were easy to stamp in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with their dies.
After stamping, and cutting, I colored the tools with four colors of Stampin’ Blends: Boho Blue, Gray Granite, Copper Clay, and Real Red. Then, I placed them on Dimensionals.
The background is a 4″ X 3″ section of Storybook Moments Designer Paper, glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Before gluing, I stamped it with “Happy Spring,” from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, in Night Of Navy Ink. I gave the white cardstock texture with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. The card base is Boho Blue Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

For this week’s “love notes” Global Design Project, I’m combining the adorable, Storybook Moments rabbit, with the Heart Shaped Bundle. A Storybook Friends Die was used to cut the rabbit from Storybook Moments Designer Paper. These are wonderful, new products that just became available January 7th, which you can see in my Product List below. And, the best news is, the Heart Shaped Bundle is FREE, with a qualifying order!
Heart Shaped
The heart was created by stamping a Heart Shaped stamp in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock. Then, I used a Heart Shaped Die to cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, which I glued on top of the stamped heart. Crumb Cake Ink was also used to stamp the sentiment, “My thoughts of you are all heart shaped.”
After stamping, I used a Citrus Blooms Die to cut the Basic Beige Cardstock, which I attached with Dimensionals to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Now, it’s your turn to create a “Love Note,” and be sure to use the hashtag #GDP479.

I made this card especially for Lily to give her Mama on Mother’s Day. The darling bunnies were fussy cut from Storybook Moments Designer Paper, and placed on Dimensionals. The heart was created by making a stencil with a Hearts Of Elegance Die, and using a Blending Brush with Soft Sea Foam Ink to color Basic White Cardstock.
Storybook Mother’s Day
The Basic White Cardstock was cut with the largest Perennial Postage Die. Then, I backed it with Mossy Meadow Cardstock; just large enough to be seen through the perforated edge. This was glued to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Some bunny loves you” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set, stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink. The sentiment label was cut with a Perennial Postage Die from Basic White Cardstock, colored with a Blending Brush and Soft Sea Foam Ink. Before attaching it with Dimensionals, I added sprigs, cut with a Heart Shaped Die.

I wasn’t planning to use the Storybook Friends Bundle to make masculine cards, but when I saw this pair in the Storybook Moments Designer Paper, I changed my mind. What father wouldn’t love this Father’s Day card? Lily is 2 1/2 now, and showing an interest in cards, so I assist her by making cards that she can give. Then, she scribbles on the inside, and enjoys the thrill of card giving. She won’t see this card until June, when it’s time to give it to her Daddy:)
Storybook Father’s Day
I began by fussy cutting the bunnies from Storybook Moments Designer Paper, and placing them on Dimensionals. Then, I used a Storybook Friends Die to cut the frame from Pecan Pie Cardstock and Basic Beige Cardstock. I glued these to Crumb Cake Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, which was given texture with the Timber Embossing Folder. The Basic White Cardstock layer beneath is 1/8″ larger, giving a 1/16″ border. Both were glued to a Pecan Pie card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. As an afterthought, I gave the bunnies “ground” using a Forever Forest stamp with Crumb Cake Ink.
“Happy Father’s Day” is from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, cut with a Wonderful Thoughts Die. The trim beneath the sentiment label is Natural Polka Dot Trim, attached securely with Tear & Tape. The trim is a Last Chance item, and still available when writing this post. I’m on a roll, so I’ll be posting a Mother’s Day card on Sunday (1/12).

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is Sale-A-Bration. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! The lineup is at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Yay! Sale-a-bration is here! You can now get the Sale-a-bration items for FREE, with a qualifying order! My favorite item is the Heart Shaped Bundle, which I’m featuring on my card today. I began by stamping two hearts, from the Heart Shaped Stamp Set, in Melon Mambo on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I stamped, “my heart loves your heart,” in Memento Black Ink, between the hearts.
Heart Shaped
Next, I used a Heart Shaped Die to cut two hearts from Marbled Elegance Designer Paper, and glued them on top of the stamped hearts. A second die was used to cut three flowers, which I glued next to leaves that I stamped in Melon Mambo. This paper, Marbled Elegance, has wonderful, gold highlights, and is an Online Exclusive, with a link in my Product List below.
After gluing the layer to my Bubble Bath card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added three Blooming Pearls to the flowers.
Thank you for stopping by.
