Hello there! I thought the folks hunkering down for this cold spell could do with some spring flowers, so these are just for you! 🙂
Measurements:
- White Card Base 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
- Strip of Calypso Coral Card Stock 1 7/8″ x 5 1/2″
- Strip of Happiness Blooms DSP 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″
- Calypso Coral Card Stock Layer 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
- White Die Cut Card Stock 3 3/8″ x 4 3/4″
Details:
- This very bright and bold pattern is from the Happiness Blooms DSP pack. Isn’t it amazing?!? I used to be intimidated by this type of pattern, but I am learning how to work with it. Once it’s paired up with elements whose colors are drawn directly from the DSP, the pattern tones down. It’s kind of magical!
- There is a stamp set called Bloom by Bloom in the Occasions Catalog that exactly matches this DSP, but I don’t have it (yet). So…I improvised! The set I used is called Bunch of Blossoms from the Annual Catalog.
- The catalog doesn’t list a pink color for this paper pack, but after stamping with a few different pinks I determined that the pink is Blushing Bride.
- The blooms are Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral and those two colors combined with Call Me Clover is, well, magical!!
- I paired the Bunch of Blossoms stamp set with a sentiment from Petal Palette and then die cut it and layered it onto a Calypso Coral oval scallop die cut.
- This darling Calypso Coral 3/8″ Satin Ribbon is from the same suite of products. I love the satin finish as well as the width – perfect for a simple knot!
- Lastly, the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots in Call Me Clover are the sweetest accents…make sure you get some, they are soon cute in three sizes!
I chose to leave the inside of this card blank this time – I couldn’t find any inspiration for it 🙁 Maybe something will occur to me before I mail it!
Thank you so much for visiting me!

Your cards are simply BEAUTIFUL!!
I’ve missed you. Have you stopped making cards?
Hi Sherri, thank you so much for your comment, I apologize for being SO tardy in responding. Yes, I did stop making cards for the most part – I went off on a re-organizing tangent which took longer than I anticipated and I have difficulty creating amongst chaos. BUT…I am happy to say that I have re-joined the blogging world as of the beginning of the new year (I really missed it) and am looking forward to creating and posting more! Hugs!
Love your cards trying to follow on your blog.
Welcome back and with a gorgeous card too! Happy New Year! 💕
Well, thank you ma’am and Happy New Year to you as well! It feels good to be blogging again!! Hugs!
