Bright and Beautiful Spring Bouquet
Today's card is a cheerful, fun, spring bouquet to brighten up someone's day. The Beautiful Bouquet Bundle has so many options to choose from for some gorgeous spring flowers.
Watch the video below to see how I made these cards.
I made this card to send to a friend who is going through a tough time and I used the sentiment from Ribbon of Courage.
This card is a thank you card that I'll use in the future. It has one of the new In-Color Bitty Bows.

Life is a beautiful thing, and oh so peaceful!
Don't you just love the color combination on these two cards?
The blue background looks like a stormy day. The card base is Night of Navy and the sentiment was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.
The green background is very peaceful. The card base is Basic Black and the sentiment was stamped in Archival Basic Black Archival Ink and then Clear Embossing Powder.
I made eight of these cards (four of each color) for a swap that I'm in with my team. They were so easy to make.
Check out the video below to see how I made them.
Here are the dimensions for the cards:
- Card Base (Night of Navy or Basic Black) - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 - scored at 4 1/4
- Layer of Lemon Lime Twist - 5 1/4 x 4
- Layer of Naturally Eclectic DSP - 5 x 3 3/4
- Scraps of Lemon Lime Twist for Adirondack chairs
Here is how I cut the DSP:
- Cut 3 strips of 3 3/4 (cut so blue is on top and green on bottom)
- Cut strip in half and then cut off blue end or green end (depending on which piece so you are left with a 5 x 3 3/4 layer. You want to keep as much white as possible.
I completed all eight swap cards. I hope everyone likes them when they receive them. I'm looking forward to receiving mine :)

Loving the Wood Crate and Wood Words from Stampin' Up!
I am in love with these little crates that you can make with the new Wood Words Bundle from Stampin' Up! Aren't they just so cute!!!!
This is the crate that I make in the video. Its made with Color Series Designer Series Paper (DSP). I stamped the Rooster in Berry Burst using the Wood Words stamp on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using the the Wood Crate Framelits. I adhered it to the smallest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
Below are some other projects that I made with this bundle.
Below are pictures with the products used to make each of the crates I showed on the video.
I used Powder Pink cardstock that I stamped in Fresh Fig with the flowers from the Wood Words stamp set. The for you sentiment is also from the Wood Words stamp set and it was stamped on Whisper White which was cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and layered on a piece of Fresh Fig cardstock that was cut from the Layering Circles Framelits. I added a Gitter Enamel Dot to add a little sparkle!
I cut the crate from Crumbcake Cardstock that we stamped with the flowers from the Wood Words set in Fresh Fig. I stamped the heart from the same set in Fresh Fig ink and cut it out using the Layering Circles and adhered it to the crate
I cut the crate using the Wood Textures DSP and adhered the Copper Trim around the middle. Then I stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock the "for you" and cut it out with the tag framelits from the Wood Crate Framelits Dies. I made a bow with 3 strands of the Linen Thread and adhered it with a glue dot. The notecards were made with Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 6 x 3 and scored at 3" to fold in half. I stamped the star in Tranquil Tide, the heart in Fresh Fig and the rooster in Lemon Lime Twist and then the sentiments in Black. I stamped the flowers in Fresh fig. All the images and sentiments are from the Wood Words stamp set.
These are the notecards that I made at the OnStage event. They notecard base is 6 x 3 and folded in half. The bottom of each notecard has a leftover piece of Wood Textures DSP cut at 1 1/4 x 3. The images and sentiments are from the Wood Words stamp set and a piece of Linen Thread was wrapped around each notecard and tied in a bow.

Thinking Of You Card
Today I want to share a sweet card using the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. This set has so many nice sentiments to show you're thinking of someone who is going through a hard time.
Below are the measurements along with pictures to help you to follow along.
Card Base:
- Early Espresso - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
- Designer Series Paper - 5 1/4 x 4
- Early Espresso - 3 3/4 x 3
- Whisper White - 4 x 3 1/4

- Whisper White - 5 1/4 x 4 for inside
I used the Thoughts and Prayers Stamp Set
Adhere DSP to Card base using Snail Adhesive
Stamp tree image on Whisper White cardstock and adhere to Early Espresso layer.
Cut scalloped circle in Early Espresso using the Big Shot and the Layering Circles Framelits Die.
Cut stitched circle in Whisper White using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Die.
Stamp sentiment on the Whisper White stitched circle in Early Espresso ink using the Masking Technique.
To use the Masking Technique, cover the part of the stamp that you don't want with a post-it note. For this card, the stamp's sentiment is "Thinking of You....Please know that I care" but I only wanted the "Thinking of You" part.
I covered the "Please know that I care." with the post-it note and inked up the stamp. Then I removed the post-it note before stamping on the stitched circle.
Adhere the stitched circle to the scalloped circle using Snail Adhesive.
Adhere the circle to the card using Stampin Dimensionals.
For the inside, stamp the floral image and sentiment on the 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped only part of the image on the cardstock, using a piece of scrap behind the cardstock for the excess.
Adhere to inside using Snail Adhesive.
