I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!  

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here.  She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper.  I just love this card!!

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here.  It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last. 

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe.  Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star! 

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper. 

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.  

It's a simple fun fold too!

  We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.

  Does it remind you of the old fashioned books of matches?  See how it tucks in to the bottom flap?

• Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

  March 24, 2022

  ---

  I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  

  I chose to use Magenta Madness.  It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.  

  Save

  I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY!  There's no guessing with stamp placement.  

  Save

  Details:

  • The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here. 
  • I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center. 
  • The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here. 
  • The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here. 
  • The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.
