Just a Little Reminder that You are Loved

I was looking at the peppermint snowman treat holder I made on Monday. Since the peppermint snowman chocolate candy is only available during the winter months of the year, I thought what other treats would fit in this treat holder size. A 2" Ghirardelli chocolate square fits perfectly in this treat holder size too!

This treat holder is a terrific way to add a little sweetness to a loved one's day and to show them that you are thinking of and love them!

I layered the small and large flowers from the Fitting Florets stamp set with the leaf dies from the Framed Florets Dies to create a little embellishment behind the greeting banner.

To make the greeting banner, first stamp and die cut the banner from a piece of Basic White cardstock and the stitched banner die. Then adhere the banner die cut to a scrap of Daffodil Delight that is a little larger than the banner. Use paper snips to cut a banner shape from the Daffodil Delight cardstock slightly bigger than the Basic White banner die cut. You now have a Basic White cardstock banner outlined in Daffodil Delight cardstock.

Wishing You a Beautiful Birthday!

I am in LOVE with the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper pack! The designs are beautiful but not too busy or fussy. The color palette is bright and cheerful. The Fitting Florets fits my style perfectly! Today's birthday card features the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper in a big way - by covering the entire card front!

To emphasize the floral theme, I stamped, colored, and die cut the grouping of 2 flowers image and raised it on dimensionals.

I used the Stampin' Blends to color the flowers and the leaves. I added shading to the flower petals by first outlining the shadow areas with dark Polished Pink Stampin' Blend.

Then I added a secondary shadow area right next to the dark Polished Pink area with light Polished Pink Stampin' Blend. I overlapped the dark and light Polished Pink areas to help them blend together in a smooth transition.

Finally, I added light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend to the center of each petal to create the area where the light was shining the brightest. I overlapped the light Flirty Flamingo with the light Polished Pink area to also make a smoother transition from one pink to the next pink.

When I use Stampin' Blends, I tend to use just the light and dark pair of the same color. However, I am starting to add more colors and shades. Recently, I used light So Saffron when blending with light and dark Flirty Flamingo with excellent results. It has been really fun trying new color combinations! What Stampin' Blend color combinations have you tried that you were surprised by?

I paired the flower image with the "Wishes for a beautiful birthday" greeting. I like how the greeting font is easy to read and how it is part cursive and part printing.

On the inside of the card, I couldn't resist adding a bit more Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to the bottom of a Basic White cardstock layer! I also stamped the "For a special person on a special day" greeting in Evening Evergreen ink.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for this Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper birthday card. If you need supplies to recreate this card, please, shop my online store HERE.
