Today I’m sharing a card I made using the Little Ladybug host stamp set and the coordinating Ladybug Dies. I had fun coloring the sweet little ladybug and the big flower using Stampin’ Blends Markers. And check out the bee’s route cut into the card stock layer using a die – so cute!

Today’s card is one that we made at my March Stamp Club gathering. I used the Tags In Bloom stamp set, Label Me Lovely Punch, and Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. To get the deep color, I rubbed the ink pad directly across the paper, then rubbed off any excess with a paper towel. The silver foil flowers resist the ink, so I only changed the background color.

I used the new Well Dressed and Tags In Bloom Sale-A-Bration stamp sets along with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and Best Dressed Designer Series Paper to create this “missing you” card. I thought the sentiment above the tie and collar, where the face should be, was humorously appropriate.

For today’s card, I used the Dressed to Impress stamp set and the new Tags in Bloom stamp set along with the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. I stamped, fussy cut, and paper pieced the lipstick.
Remember, all the Sale-A-Bration and Coordination Product Release items are available only through March 31 or while supplies last.

A couple days ago I shared my January swap card made with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper. You can see that post here. The swap theme was Sale-A-Bration. Coincidentally, Judy Newsome used the very same pattern from the same Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper for her swap cards, and out layouts are even very similar. You know what they say: great minds think alike! Judy, a member of my Candy Hearts team, lives in LaFayette, GA.
