Each month my team, the Candy Hearts, has a team gathering where we share information, have demonstrations and challenges, make projects, swap projects, play games, learn techniques, eat snacks, laugh a lot, and generally have a good time. This month we celebrated Easter, and had a 3D Swap.
Here are the 3D Swap items:
Butterfly card by Tamara Burton. Black money card by Margie Shippey. Mint Macaron large purse by Linda Krueger. Cucumber Crush box (see below) by Debbie Catlett. Butterfly Curvy Keepsake Box by Candy Ford. Clear box with Blossom on top and pink filler by Judy Newsome. Wisteria Wonder Window Box (see below) by Lonita Barron. You’re A Good Egg box by Missy Wiedeman. Rich Razzleberry small purse by Donica Williams.
Debbie’s box contained note cards in all the 2015-2017 In Colors.
Lonita even decorated the inside of her box!
Here are the Easter Baskets I made for each place setting:
Here are the cupcake toppers I made:
The cupcakes were from SmallCakes. Each was a different flavor, and they were delicious!
Here are the Candy Hearts who came to the meeting:
Now that’s a beautiful group! Clockwise from bottom left: Caitlin Jones, Kimberly Laidley, Donica Williams, Tamara Burton, Debbie Catlett, Judy Newsome, Missy Wiedelan, Linda Krueger, Lonita Barron, and Margie Shippey.
Here’s Isabella trying to nap in the sun after the meeting:
She was exhausted after all the excitement.
“Please stop taking my picture and let me go back to sleep.”

I thought I posted this card many weeks ago, but it somehow slipped through the cracks. But I had to share it with you, because I think it’s just beautiful, if I do say so myself. I used products from the Falling In Love Suite and the So In Love Bundle, what I’m calling the Falling So In Love Suite (on pages 51 & 52 in the 2017 Occasions Catalog) to make this soft and pretty Happy Anniversary card.
Be sure to scroll down to the bottom of this post for some big news about Sale-a-bration!
Here’s what I made:

Die cut using the So Detailed Thinlits:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Mar 14, 2017 | Cards, Challenges, Deals, Gallery, Occasions, Sale-A-Bration |
Today I’m sharing a card that I designed for my March Stamp Club gathering. All the projects we made used the newest Sale-a-bration items. This one uses the 6×6 Glimmer Assortment, which you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase, but only while supplies last! I also used the All Things Thanks stamp set, the Flourish Thinlits Dies, May Flowers Framelits Dies, and Aqua Painters. I used Shimmery White card stock (CS,) instead of the regular Whisper White CS, because you can watercolor on it without any pilling.
Also, today a group of us are being highlighted internationally by Kylie Bertucci, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from Australia, and you can actually VOTE for my card. The top ten winners will get to be part of an international blog hop next month, so please vote for my card. You can do that here.
Our theme for this highlight is the All Things Thanks stamp set. It’s a wonderful stamp set with so many gorgeous sentiments, and we wanted to highlight how versatile it really is. You can see another card I’ve made with this stamp set here. Make sure you head over to Kylie’s blog to vote for my card. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop!
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with the Stampin’ Trimmer:
- So Saffron card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
- Basic Black CS cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
- Shimmery White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″
Stamped with the All Things Thanks stamp set:
- sentiment in Basic Black Archival ink
Die cut using the Flourish Thinlits :
- leaf shape from Mint Macaron Glimmer Paper
Die cut using the May Flowers Framelits:
- flower from Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper
Cut using the 1/2″ Circle Punch:
- So Saffron CS for the flower center
Used Aqua Painters to watercolor:
- Mint Macaron ink onto the Shimmery White CS, where the die cut leaves would go
- Sweet Sugarplum ink onto the Shimmery White CS, where the die flower would go
- NOTE: I used a drop of each color ink from the Refills, but you can also use the ink pads. I have both listed at the bottom of this post
Assembled the card:
- 1/2″ So Saffron circle glued onto the back of the flower
- Glimmer Paper leaf and flower glued over the watercolored areas of the Shimmery White CS
- Shimmer White CS glued onto the Basic Black CS
- Basic Black CS glued onto the So Saffron card base

Mar 1, 2017 | Baby, Blog Hop, Cards, Catalogs, Deals, Gallery, Occasions, Sale-A-Bration |
Today I’m sharing two baby cards made with the Any Occasion stamp set. You can only get this Sale-a-bration stamp set with a $50 purchase now through March 31 – and it’s FREE! It has 20 stamps, and it’s FREE! Now that’s a deal!
Our ICS Blog Hop Theme For March is One Last Sale-A-Bration. Don’t worry! SAB goes on for the rest of the month! But this is the last ICS Blog Hop during SAB. You have another 30 days to get a FREE SAB item for every $50 you spend! Scroll down for more information on Sale-a-bration.
Here’s what I made:
These sweet little cards are great to have around for all those baby showers you’re always invited to.
Here’s what I did:
I used Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes – these are wonderful to have around for quick and easy card making (they also come in Crumb Cake.)
The boy card has a piece of Soft Sky card stock (CS) glued to the card front. I stamped the images from the Any Occasion stamp set in Soft Sky ink onto a piece of Whisper White CS, attached a Bow Paper Clip, then glued it to the card front.
The girl card is the same except for the color (Blushing Bride) and instead of the paper clip, I tucked in half a Lace Doily, and added a Blushing Bride heart from the Subtles Enamel Shapes.
Easy peasy!
Click the arrow to go to the next stop on the hop. You don’t want to miss any of the great projects from this talented group!
