Welcome to the March 2021 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Spring themed projects. Be sure to hop to the next blog on the list, Pam Morris of Tap Tap Stamp. If you get lost, scroll down to see the list of hoppers.
My project features the True Love Designer Series Paper, which is all black and white. I love it because you can make it any color you want. The card has quite a bit of black on it, which may not seem very Springy. But I though the Spring colors really popped off the black background. What do you think?
I also used the Butterfly Gems which come in the 2019-2021 In Colors. This is the first time I’ve ever used them. I know! Crazy! How have I neglected these little beauties for so long? They will retire less than two months, so I plan to use them as much as I can until then. (Of course, I do use retired products, but not on anything I post on my blog.)

Today I’m sharing the last card we made at our February Candy Hearts team meeting using the Approaching Perfection stamp set. It’s a birthday card, and we also used the Stitched to Sweetly Dies, Special Day Dies, and products from the Sand & Sea Suite Collection. The seashell on the front is attached via a spring mechanism we made with wire. We used the Special Day Dies because the heart from that set fit perfectly behind the seashell sticker, but you could use a circle or any other shape that will fit.

Today I’m sharing a card I didn’t get around to posting before Sale-a-bration ended on Sunday. I used the Approaching Perfection stamp set, which was a free Sale-a-bration item. I hope you were able to get your own. Don’t worry, everything else I used is still available. This was one of our February Candy Hearts Team Meeting cards.
