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.

Below are the measurements and the supply list for my Fitting Florets chocolate square treat holder. If you need supplies to recreate this treat holder, please, shop my online store HERE.

You are Simply Fabulous Circle Easel Card

Today's project is a circle easel card featuring the Simply Fabulous stamp set. The Simply Fabulous stamp set is one of my top must-have stamp sets from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It has cute little flowers and leaves stamps along with greetings perfect for friendship, encouragement, and celebration.

The varied scale of the flowers and leaves stamps ranges from small to large and makes this a fantastic set for building bouquets, wreaths, clusters, and more! Use the larger flowers and leaves for focal images. Sprinkle in the smaller flowers and leaves to fill in the spaces between to create a cohesive bouquet or wreath!

The base for the circle easel card is made of two connected scalloped circles. To connect the scalloped circles, I cut a piece of Tahitian Tide cardstock and folded it in half, then I placed the largest Layering Circle die on the Tahitian Tide cardstock with about 1/8" of the die above the fold, and ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

Moving the topmost edge of the scalloped circle die above the fold line means that the area that the die is not touching the cardstock will not be cut.

A second scalloped circle is die cut and adhered to one of the card base scallop circles to make the easel stand up.

 
Below are the measurements and supplies to recreate this Simply Fabulous Circle Easel Card.

Measurements

• Card Base: 4-1/4" x 8"; scored at 4" (Tahitian Tide Cardstock)
• Scalloped Circle: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" (Tahitian Tide Cardstock)
• Circles: 5" x 2-3/4" (Basic White Cardstock) - cut 2 of the 2-3/8" circles from this piece of cardstock and cut 1 of them in half
• Stopper: 2" x 3"

Supplies

A circle easel card makes a great display card. I chose "You are simply fabulous" for the greeting on this circle easel card. It is a kind reminder that we are fabulous too! It can be easy to focus more on the care of others and forget to care for and appreciate yourself too. This card could be a visual reminder that you are simply fabulous too!

I hope you give this circle easel a card and make one for each of your best friends! I think you will really enjoy stamping with the Simply Fabulous stamp set! If you need supplies to make this card, please, shop my online store HERE.

If you have any questions about today's project, please, don't hesitate to ask me. I am happy to help you with your stamping questions!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Patchwork Ornate Garden Friendship Card

Today's card highlights the Ornate Garden Product Suite as well as the Good, Morning Magnolia stamp set. My favorite greeting from Good, Morning Magnolia, "The journey of life is best shared with a friend. We'll get through this together," is reassuring during these stressful times, especially when we are far apart from each other.

I used the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper in a patchwork pattern with sashing between each square or a tile pattern with spacing or "grout" between each square.

Ornate Garden Friendship Card Measurements
	Paper	Dimensions
Card Base	Crumb Cake Cardstock	8-1/2” x 5-1/2”; scored at 4-1/4” & 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
1st Mat	Old Olive Cardstock or Terracotta Tile Cardstock	4-3/8” x 3”
2nd Mat	Old Olive Cardstock or Terracotta Tile Cardstock	4-1/8”x 2-3/4”
Squares (cut 6)	Ornate Garden Specialty DSP	1-1/4” x 1-1/4”
Greeting	Whisper White Cardstock	2-3/4” x 1-1/4”
Inside Mat	Whisper White Cardstock	4” x 5-1/4”
DSP Inside Mat	Ornate Garden Specialty DSP	3/4" x 4"

This inside of the card is decorated with a strip of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper with the same sweet daisy pattern, leaving room for a special message.

The card base is embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Let me tell you! This is my favorite texture embossing folder of all time! Yes, it's true! This is my all time favorite texture embossing folder!

It adds that little extra something special without detracting from the rest of the design. Plus, the texture looks beautiful whether this embossing folder is used horizontally or vertically and on the embossed side or the debossed side.

I embossed a separate 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered it to the front. You can emboss the whole card front instead too.

I enjoyed creating with the patterned paper with the small daisies on the Bumble Bee background so much that I made two different variations of this patchwork card. The card pictured below on the right has a patchwork of squares that together form a compete picture.

The card pictured below on the left has two different sides of the same patterned paper in a staggered pattern. The Terracotta Tile and the Old Olive cardstock orders are also switched on both cards. The "grout" on one card is Old Olive and Terracotta Tile on the other.

Which card do you like best - the card on the left with 2 patterned papers or the one on the right with 1 patterned paper? Let me know which card you like best in the comments below!

I hope you give this patchwork Designer Series Paper card a try. What patterned papers will you use? I would love to see what you create! Post a project photo on my Facebook page today! I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by!
