Sweet Friend-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 15, 2022

Wow I cannot believe it is already Friday, and Good Friday at that. Can you believe that April is already half over? Easter time is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a good excuse to bake something sweet. This year my parents are coming over for brunch so I plan to make homemade cinnamon rolls.

My card today is a tribute to all those bakers in your life and features the Measure of Love stamp set. It is not only a fun and easy card, it is very colorful too!

I began with a Pacific Point cards base and added a layer of Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo. The white panel was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The bowls are stamped with Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz inks, and yes, I fussy cut the bowls with my paper snips.

Arrange the bowls along the side and stamp the greeting with Pacific Point ink. Add a layer of white to the inside and feel free to decorate the inside with other bowl.

You Really Measure Up!

2 Comments / Just Because Cards / April 13, 2022

Sometimes life is not a bowl of cherries, but today’s card is, actually three bowls! What could be better than that?

If you have a good friend, I am sure he or she would appreciate getting this sweet card in the mail. I created this card using the Measure of Love stamp set. Hopefully you have this one in your stamping stash!

I began with the retiring Misty Moonlight In-Color as my card base and then added a layer of Real Red cardstock. I then stamped three bowls with Misty Moonlight ink on some Basic White scrap and fussy cut using my paper snips! Yes, fussy cut, but the bowls are really easy and it makes it so much quicker to stamp the cherries first and then add the bowls on top.

The scale, greeting and cherries are stamped directly to the Basic White CS panel and layered to the card front.

Boughs and Blossoms Birthday Wishes

Happy Birthday / April 12, 2022

Today I am featuring two bundles that are in the January -June 2022 mini catalog. Both of these bundles will be retiring in June.

I began with a Soft Succulent card base and added a layer of Petal Pink. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink and the flowers with Petal Pink. And yes, I fussy cut the flowers and leaves using my Paper Snips.

The greeting is from Artfully Layered and I stamped it on some Basic White cardstock using Memento Black ink and then punched it out with the Everyday Label punch. Oh man am I ever going to miss this punch!

Project Supplies and Measurements

Soft Succulent CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base),
Petal Pink CS- 4 x 5¼
Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, 4 x 5¼
Boughs and Blossoms Bundle
Artfully Layered Bundle
Soft Succulent Ink
Petal Pink Ink
Memento Black Ink
Everyday Label Punch
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

I love how this card turned out. At first I was not really a fan of the Petal Pink cardstock and ink, but the more I use it the more I love it, especially when it is paired with Soft Succulent. I hope today’s card inspires you to bless others with your creativity.

There is still time to get some of the retiring products from the 2022 annual catalog, but hurry supplies are selling out quickly. If you place an order that is less than $150, please use our April host code.
