We Create March Blog Hop March To A Different Beat

Welcome to the We Create March Blog Hop and our theme this month is "March To A Different Beat". As we begin this new month, we are already starting to think about Spring and all the wonderful things that come with that season. It's a time for new beginnings as we get ready to shake off the Winter Blues and enjoy the warmer weather. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing what this month's theme means to them to help inspire you to get creative this month.

When I think of the month of March, I think about the beginning of Spring and here in Colorado we have already started to see the early signs with warm sunny days mixed in with the occasional snow storm, both very common during this season. Then I started to think along the lines of the word beat, and it made me think of wings, which led me to butterflies which will soon start to return. So I decided to create a pretty Spring themed card design using the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating Cards & Envelopes, with butterflies being a key part of the design. I love that this was a simple card to create and required just a few supplies to make a beautiful design.

Products Used:

Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack (item #162930)

Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes (item #162931)

Petal Pink Cardstock (item #146985)

Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes

1 Calypso Coral Card Base and coordinating Envelope

Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack

Dream Big Card - 3"x4"

Assorted Flowers Stickers

Petal Pink Cardstock

Matte Layer - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"

This fun no-stamping card, is a great way to create a pretty design by just mixing and matching different elements to come up with the finished card. Once I had chosen the card I wanted to use for the focal image, I added a piece of Petal Pink cardstock to create a matte layer to help it pop against the Calypso Coral card base. I added some Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine around the bottom of the layer, wrapping it around twice and then tying a bow on the left side. I added several Petal Pink Dots to the focal card to coordinate with the matte layer and then attached the layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To step the design up even further, I added several of the flower stickers to the top left and bottom right corners of the card front, tucking them slightly under the raised focal layer. To complete the design, I added a little more bling to the centers of the small flowers using Basic Rhinestone Jewels. I love how fresh and pretty this card is and how simple it was to create.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help get you in the mood for Spring and spark your creativity. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore to create beautiful clean and simple designs.

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. February Showcase Blog Hop as we share the projects we are currently working on to help inspire you. We would love it if you would hop around and visit with our wonderful Design Team and see all the amazing projects they have to share this month.

Today I thought I would share a clean and simple card design I created with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. I love that these products give me the chance to be creative without having to prep and come up with a design from scratch. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from and everything coordinates to take the stress out of creating a beautiful card design. With just a little embellishing, I was able to create a fun clean and simple card that will hopefully brighten someone's day and make them feel special.

Pretty Peacock Card Base & envelope

Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack

3" x 4" Butterfly design card

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock

3 1/4" x 4 1/4" Layer

This is such an easy card design to create and the supplies in the Sweet Thoughts Card Pack provide so many creative options. For this card design, I chose the Pretty Peacock card base and then chose the butterfly 3"x4" card design for my focal image. I added a piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to create a mat for the focal layer to help make it pop against the card base. To embellish the card design, I tied a piece of Flirty Flamingo Baker's Twine around the base of the focal layer and tied a bow on the left side. I then attached the layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. Using one of the flower stickers from the card pack, I added it to the bottom right corner of the focal layer with a Stampin' Dimensional and added a Basic Rhinestone to the center of the flower. I also added some Basic Rhinestones to the center of the butterfly to add a little more bling to the design. The result is a pretty clean and simple card design that was easy to assemble and needed just a few supplies to complete.

Global Stamping Friends January Blog Hop New Year New Products

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends January Blog Hop and I am excited to share with you new products and ideas to help you get creative in 2024. With the holidays over for another year, I find myself focusing on all occasion cards like birthdays, thank you, thinking of you that I use throughout the year. The new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog is full of wonderful new products that are perfect for creating these cards and I look forward to sharing some of these with you today to help inspire you.

Today I thought I would share a card design created with one of the hidden gems in the new mini catalog. The new Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes are a wonderful option for creating beautiful cards for a variety of occasions, without the stress of having to create them from scratch. The card pack contains beautiful cards in both 3"x4" and 4"x6" and stickers that you can use to decorate the coordinating card bases to create your own unique designs. For my card design, I have used one of the 3"x4" cards along with several stickers to create the basic design. I then added a sentiment using the Sale-a-bration Level 1 Heartfelt Hellos stamp set, a little White Baker's Twine and some Brushed Brass Butterflies to complete the card. I love how easy this card was to create and the fact that I could personalize it using just a few simple supplies to create a card that was special and unique.

Products Used:

Heartfelt Hellos stamp set (item #162964) Sale-a-bration Level 1 Reward

Measurements:

Calypso Coral Sweet Thoughts Card Base- 4 1/4" x 6 1/4"

Calypso Coral & White Floral Background Card - 3"x4"

Calypso Coral Cardstock

Sentiment Label punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch

Calypso Coral is not a color that I use a lot of so this was a great opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and try new and different color combinations. The Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards provides a lot of different options and I finally chose to use a simple floral background layer to start my design. I added the floral sticker for my focal design and added it to the left side of the floral card. I wrapped a piece of White Baker's Twine around the bottom of the floral card twice and tied a bow in the center. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Heartfelt Hellos Sale-a-bration stamp set onto Calypso Coral cardstock using White embossing powder and then punched it out using the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch that can be found in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. I attached the floral card to the Calypso Coral card base with Stampin' Dimensionals and then attached the sentiment label towards the bottom right corner of the floral card, overlapping the White Baker's Twine, also using Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added the heart sticker below the sentiment label and several Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front for a touch of bling. This card design could be used for a variety of occasions such as a birthday card, to help brighten someone's day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help spark your creativity and help you create your own beautiful cards to send to family and friends.
