Anniversary & Love-Weddings

Happy February! If you love Valentine’s Day, love and romance, you are going to love today’s card starring the Sweet Conversation Bundle that is part of the Sweet Talk Suite featured in the January- June 2022 mini catalog. Also, be sure to check out the end of this post on how you can win a pack of Pastel Pearls this month. Now that is SWEET!

Here is a closer look at some of the products in this suite.

For today’s card I used the Sweet Conversation Bundle and started with a Blushing Bride card base and created a panel of DSP by stamping the XO stamps from the bundle in blushing bride ink on the panel of white cardstock. The hearts are stamped in Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and Highland Heather. I flagged the end of the greeting using my paper snips.

Just layer everything on the card front and add a few basic pearls and you have a perfect Valentine for your sweetheart! You can add this sweet to your stamping collection and take advantage of the FREE Sale-A-Bration products.

You have to check out the new Butterfly Brilliance Collection. Trust me you will not be disappointed. This collection is available now through May 3rd. Here are just a few card ideas that will help get your creative juices flowing.

You know how whenever you buy a pack of paper there is typically one or two sheets that aren’t your favorite? Well, not this pack I absolutely love every sheet!!!

Seriously, they are all so beautiful and today’s card was created using two sheets from the Butterfly Bijou paper pack. I also used the dies from the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle.

This card will be going to my sister-in-law and her husband in Virginia Beach who will be celebrating a very special anniversary later this month.

• Begin with a Mint Macron base that measures 5½ x 8½. In landscape position, (aka the long side) score at 4¼”.  Fold and burnish.
• Cut a 2 x 4” piece of designer series paper from the Butterfly Bijou paper pack and layer on a 2 1/8 x 4 1/8” piece of the Melon Mambo cardstock.  Attach this on the front left side of the Mint Macron card base.
• Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine and the Brilliant Wing Dies to cut a Mint Macron butterfly from the designer series paper pack.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach this to the upper left side of the card base.
• Stamp the Happy Anniversary greeting from Many Mates on some Basic White card scrap and punch it out using the Rectangular Postage Punch.
• Cut a 1 ½ x 2 1/8” piece of Melon Mambo cardstock and attach it on an angle to the card front. 
• Next layer the greeting on top of the Melon Mambo rectangle and finish it off by adding a Matte Black Dot to the greeting.

• For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock and stamp a greeting in Memento Black ink.  I used the sentiment from the Treasures of Life stamp set.
• Attach this panel to the inside of the card. 
• Use the dies from Brilliant Wings to cut a solid butterfly with Basic Black cardstock and the detailed wings with Mint Macron cardstock.  Layer together and add to the inside of the card.

This card was super easy because I did not even have to color the butterflies, the paper did it for me. All I had to do was cut the paper using the Brilliant Wings die.

I hope you have fun creating with this collection. I would love to hear from you and see your butterfly creations.
