Good Morning! I am so excited to be Mary Fish's guest stamper! I hope that you enjoy the card today as I think it is super cute! When this paper came out, All Abloom…..I was SUPER happy with this particular pattern. I am not sure why, it just made me happy and it made me smile!
If you follow my blog, you know that I adore square cards and this one creates a big punch but if you look at it and break it apart, you will see that it is super simple!
I pulled all of the colors from the Paper Stack using, Blushing Bride, Pistachio Pudding, Stawberry Slush and of course, Whisper White!
These stacks are the BEST "bang for your buck" as you will receive 48 sheets of fun paper…it is just $6.95…I say WOOT-WOOT!!!
Simple, yet effective with that little sentiment from A Happy Hooray did the trick! I adore this stamp set as it truly is very versatile! (I think I might do a Stamp of the Month Kit with it) in the future! Look how effective stamping in the bold color of Strawberry Slush made this POP!
I know that you like when I give you the measurement and here you go! This card is fun, easy and you know that the recipient will be super happy to receive this cheerful card! Please feel free to email me if you have questions!
- The Base is Blushing Bride as a 5" square card!
- The super cute DSP is a 4 1/2" square and then I cut a mat a "smidge larger"
- Using the square framelits I cut a frame from the Pistachio Pudding using the #3 & #4 framelits and then added a piece of white behind the frame!
- The size of the circles are the 1 3/8" & the 1 3/4" circle punches. Using Stampin' Dimensionals always makes a statement! ( I call them my Stampin' Vitamins)
- To me…the POP of the card is using the white gel pen – I LOVE this pen and a little dash makes all the difference!
- The envelope Punch Board makes it super easy to create your own envelopes! Today I simply lined the outer flap of the envelope!
Making odd size cards is always fun! I realize that it takes extra postage for a square card, but many of our cards we make need extra postage with the embellishments we use! I think it is well worth the extra expense as I would be SUPER happy to get this "pick me up of thanks" in the mail!
Many thanks for popping in today and it is an honor to be a guest stamper for Mary while she is at Founders Circle! I truly hope that she is having the time of her life as she most certainly deserves it!
If you enjoyed the inspiration today from this post, please enter your email under the holiday catalog on the side bar of my home page…I blog daily and I feel like I have learned from the BEST! Having Mary as my direct upline is a privilege and joy!
Please feel free to email me or leave me a comment! Enjoy this wonderful day and "thanks" for popping in and letting me inspire you!
Until tomorrow!
Susan, you’ve had some stellar cards of late. Love this one and your ‘Laughter’ card with the leaves–just gorgeous! Keep sharing as we love you and all that you do!
Congratulations on being Mary’s guest stamper today, your card is really lovely. The DSP makes me smile, it reminds me of Spring at the beginning of Autumn.
Thank your for sharing.
Such a pretty card!!
A happy “smile” card for sure! I love your treatment of the stamped thanks with the blushing bride color and the dashes from the gel pen! Of course it is also all about the layers and you did it wonderfully. Loving all the cool colors that you pulled together. Then the envelope brings it over the top! I think I will have to give a second thought to that stamp set just for this stamp! Using your idea I can see this in all kinds of fun color combinations and with other fun DP papers. Of course then I would have to get the envelope punch board to make a square envelope! Is there no end to the inspiration? Thanks Susan for a fun card to inspire other ideas! Thank goodness I am reading this in the morning and not before bedtime, everyone knows I need all the beauty sleep I can get! My mind would be racing with color combos and such!
Your cards are unbelievable! So crisp and simple looking, I love your style:)
Love your card Susan! Sweet and fresh, good for many occasions.
