This weekend I’m in Salt Lake City, Utah, for Stampin’ Up’s semiannual OnStage event. It’s what most people would probably call a “convention.” I’ve had an absolute ball so far. I’ve made some new friends, caught up with some old ones, learned a lot, and…drum roll, please…received a copy of the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalog! I’ve even gotten to play with some of the brand new products. It’s good to be a demonstrator! Click on “Be a Candy Heart” at the top of this page to learn how you can get your own discounts and perks.

I was involved in two organized swaps this weekend. Today I’m sharing one of my swap projects with you.

I decided to design something very simple, yet striking. I let the colors do all the work, instead of adding lots of doodahs.

The card base is Tempting Turquoise card stock. The polka dot strip is Daffodil Delight and is from the Brights 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper Stack.

I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Happenings stamp set in Tempting Turquoise ink onto Whisper White card stock. That is matted with a piece of Melon Mambo card stock, and that’s matted with another piece of Whisper White.

Three Melon Mambo Candy Dots balance the overall layout.

This card design is so simple, and you can replicate it in countless other color palettes. Do you recognize the color palette I used? It’s the same one used for the top of my blog page. I think it’s a very happy color combo.

Here’s what I used:

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
