Birthday

Coloring with Wink of Stella and Adorning Hearts

My card today was inspired by a color challenge that I participated in a number of weeks ago. Here are the inspiring colors I used…

I love how these colors look together, I think that I will be using them more often in the future. I hope you find inspiration from them as well. For the card base I stamped the floral image on Petunia Pop Cardstock with Petunia Pop ink.

The heart was created with the Adoring Hearts photopolymer stamp set. I stamped it in Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then using Wink of Stella I dipped the brush tip in Misty Moonlight to color the leaves, and did the same with Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop, then fussy cut it. Using Wink of Stella gives the prettiest shimmer to the heart.

I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock. Then I brushed Bubble Bath ink above the sentiment and added the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped Just For You in Misty Moonlight and die cut the banner to add to the heart. I added this to a Misty Moonlight and Bubble Bath layers then added them to the card base.

Snow Day Crafting

I love a snow day! Instead of going out and running errands as we had planned, we stayed in and had a relaxing day while we watched the snow fall. I took advantage of the day to make some cards.

I used one of my favorite things from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog ~ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards Pack. I’m loving the pretty spring color pallet and the pink foil accents of the stickers.

I paired the Cards Pack with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. The coordination of the card pack and cards & envelopes make card making quick and easy.

To create this card, I cut a Basic White CS layer and punched a corner with the Very Best Trio punch. I added a small 3″ x 4″ Sweet Thoughts Memory & More card to the Basic White layer, also punching one of the corners with the Very Best Trio punch. I die cut a stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies. With the inside of one of the envelopes from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards & envelopes I punch a 2-1/4″ Circle, then layered it on the stitched circle. To finish the card I added the Happy Birthday stickers, a few flower stickers and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.

My second card also includes a layer of what looks like Designer Series paper but its actually the inside of the envelope I used on the first card, I love all the pretty colors and It added the perfect touch to the cards, don’t you think? The sentiment is stamped with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and punched with the Hexagon punch. More Brushed Brass Butterflies complete this pretty card.

My favorite element on this third card is the butterfly. I fussy cut it from one the 4″ x 6″ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card. I think it looks so pretty with the 3″ x 4″ card. I used my favorite Scalloped Contours Dies to add a few layers in Basic White and Pretty Peacock cardstock.

This last card was created with a layer of Pebbled Path cardstock with a layer of the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled Designer Series paper. On the Calypso Coral cardstock layer I stamped some flowers from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. The final layer is another 3″ x 4″ Memories and More card with a few of the stickers with foil accents.

Have you created cards with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards yet? I hope you’ll give them a try.
