I have been playing with the How Sweet It Is suite of products a lot lately, and why not? It’s adorable and fun. The colors are bright and cheerful. I used it to made today’s card with confetti dots and lollipops that says Sweets for You. I used a piece of the Organdy Ribbon Combo pack that has now sold out. If you didn’t get it in time, you can easily replace it with one of the many other ribbons we have. I would suggest the Pineapple Punch 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon.

Today’s card is easy and simple. It features the Happy Tails bundle, Flowing Fountain stamp set, Pretty Label Punch, Be Mine Framelits Dies, and Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The tiny hearts were leftover from other projects. I like to keep cute little pieces that fall out of die cuts. These came from the multi-heart die in the Be Mine Framelits.

Today I’m sharing another fun card I made with the Sweetest Thing stamp set, Jar of Sweets Framelits Dies, and How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. I just love the colors in this set. They’re all so fun and happy. I used a scrap of Pineapple Punch cardstock – right out of the scrap drawer – for the sentiment, continuing my quest to use up a bunch of my scraps. I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the candies. While Gorgeous Grape is the purple used in the paper, I used a Highland Heather marker instead, because I thought the Gorgeous Grape would be too dark in this instance. You could use Gorgeous Grape with a Blender Pen to lighten it up.

I save paper scraps, as most of us thrifty paper crafters do. I have a lot of paper scraps. I mean a LOT. I have a drawer for each color, and almost all of them are full. I also save extra pieces that I don’t end up using on projects. So I decided to use up some of them. You’ll see them on several of my cards in the near future, including today. See all those pink strips in the background? Those are card stock strips that had been cut off of other projects. The Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Designer Series Paper allows the pinks to show through while also tying them all together. The sentiment, from the Flowing Fountain stamp set, was cut using the Pretty Label Punch. And that’s on a piece of cardstock cut using the gorgeous label die from the Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies.
