It’s Easter Weekend…yippee!!! Did this card do the trick?
When you popped on this morning did I make you SMILE!!!
I sure hope so…as I am smiling for many reasons! My youngest “peep” came home for the weekend…the other 2 could not make it but it is great to have at least one home!
I am smiling because of the FREE SHIPPING all next week – yippee!!! Click here to see yesterday’s post about it and it will also explain how you can win some Blog Candy from me
(look at the picture below – I would love for you to win it!)
Let’s get to this card…I think it is super-duper cute! I usually do not use these colors but I was very pleased with the end result as it made me smile!
One thing I learned and I wanted to share it with you…This is from the Water Color Wonder Designer Series Paper…and I adore how Stampin’ Up! lists the colors of paper that coordinates with the paper pack – for this they suggested to use Tangerine Tango and I did not like that with this soft print. I think the Crisp Cantaloupe is a much better choice…what do you think?
True there are “bolder” prints in this paper pack that the Tangerine Tango would work…what I am getting at it – try different things – you might find out that it works for you!
- The Base is Crisp Cantaloupe scored at 5 ½” and then the white is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" and the printed paper is 3 3/4" X 5" . POP this piece with Stampin Dimensionals.
- The Flower is from the Secret Garden Stamp Set and then I used the matching framelits to cut it out!
- The sentiment was stamped on a piece of white at 2 ½” X 1” and then matted just 1/8” larger! The sentiment is from one of my favorites…Happy Day Stamp Set (I will not be smiling if this stamp set goes bye-bye)
- This card is really so easy – that you do not need me….I mono glued down the 2 flowers and then POPPED just the one! (grouping in odd numbers always is easy on your eyes)
- Added details…I added 5 pearls to each flower and then I sis a quick stitch around the sentiment! Voila…done!
- The envelope came to life with the Envelope Liner Framelit and of course the Big Shot! Two tools that we could not be without!
This is a great card to make up and keep on hand….”just in case” – you could easily make it a Birthday Card…a thinking of you….an anniversary card….it’s the message that YOU write in the inside that will make it your personal touch of art!
Enjoy your day…make memories!!! I know it’s a Holiday tomorrow….but if you can – POP on by…it is mu husband’s Birthday and of course….EASTER!!! I think that you are going to like what I am making John!
Until tomorrow!
Beautiful! And,yes, it did make me smile. Enjoy your Easter/birthday weekend. Happy birthday to John. Glory to God. HE IS RISEN!!!
When I couldn’t get your blog post the other day, I was bummed. A day without Susan is like a day without sunshine. This card is a beauty! So cheery, bright – how could you not smile???
Have a Blessed Easter.

Such a soft, Easter, Springy card. So delicate looking and quick and easy! Thanks or sharing with us! Happy Easter!
HAPPY EASTER SUSAN. I REALLY ENJOY YOUR BLOG. YOUR CARDS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT ON!
I LIKE THIS STYLE AND WILL TRY AND COPY IT TODAY. THANKS A LOT!
Your card is soooo beautiful! I’m with you….Tangerine may very well look nice with it but Crisp Cantaloupe is BEAUTIFUL! I’m smiling inside AND out just seeing it. Can’t wait til I can make it!
Happy Birthday to John, happy your youngest got home AND Happy Easter to everyone!
You did make me smile on a dreary day in VA. Your card is lovely. Happy Easter and enjoy your family.
Susan, I love your card today! My first reacting was ooooooo pretty!
Big Smiles! Love it with the crisp canteloupe. Have a wonderful family weekend!!
Good Morn’ Susan. Yes it did make me smile too. The colors are nice and I like the lighter cantaloupe color too. Happy Easter to you and your family. 🙂
So soft and pretty ! I agree with your color choice because it is so much more delicate . I have not used this particular flower in this set …shame on me because it is sooo cute . This is such a “Cutie” card . What a keeper to have a few of these on hand ! Thanks for the wonderful idea !
And Happy Birthday to your special Honey Bunny !
They must have picked the wrong fruit out of the fruit basket! It is CC all the way and not TT if you ask me! I love your card. Spot on as they would say! I am still not getting your posts and other PALs posts. Thank goodness I remembered to check your blog for this great card. I actually have this set and framelits that have yet to come out of their package which I had squirreled away so Mike wouldn’t see them! You know we gotta get those bundles when we can! I think I will have to make this card now!
Wishing John a happy B-day tomorrow. Watch the sugar overload between the cake and Easter candy!
Susan,
I am a fellow demonstrator who follows your blog. I look forward to looking every day. I love your cards and your style. Have CASE’d several of your cards with great results.
Hi Ellen…thanks for you comment – isn’t baking with a “peep” the best! So glad you have fun!
Please do….copy away and have fun!
Glad you agreed – When you put the Tangerine Tango next to it…WOW – too stark!
I’m glad I was able to bring some sunshine to your day!
this card would be perfect for so many occasions! Just change up the sentiment!!! Woot-woot- DONE!
Oh Chris….it wouldn’t be a day without YOU!!! I am hoping that the “cyber gods” will get together and figure out what is going on with the daily subscriptions…..many SUD have been having this happen!
Easter…candy….plus a birthday cake – LOVE IT!
