What a gret way to start my crafting week! The Petal Park Bundle and the Regency Park Designer Series Paper made it so much fun to come up with this card design and put it all together. Isn’t the mix of colors amazing! Love the “Brights” mixed with the “Subtles” and my favorite “Neutral”, Night of Navy, pulls it all together.
If you read my Blog regularly, you’ll know I’m always drawn to any shade of blue. The mix of Balmy Blue, Mango Melody and Night of Navy is, in my opinion, perfection.
So, let’s make a card!
Today’s Card Pieces And Parts
Start with a Night of Navy cardstock card base cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″.
The Regency Park Designer Series Paper Layer is 5 1/2″ x 3 3/4″.
I die cut a stitched circle that measures approximately 3″ in diameter.
The Basic White sentiment layer is die cut with one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies. It measures approximately 1″ x 2 3/4″.
I stamped and punched the flowers and leaves from the Petal Park Bundle. I used Crushed Curry, Mango Melody, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink ink. Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent ink give color to the leaves.
The die cut circle is adhered to the card front with Dimensionals, as is the sentiment layer.
I attached the flowers and leaves with glue.
I added a bow using some Pumpkin Pie Baker’s Twine, and added a few Matte Dots to embellish.
This is a simple card to put together using the products from the Regency Park Suite. To me, the colors are “happy”.
The Inside
Cut a Basic White card layer 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the inside writing layer and add a strip of DSP and a few flowers. I didn’t add an inside sentiment to this card, but when you create your version, use what works for you. Most of all, have fun.
So, find that amazing and bold floral patterned paper, add a circle, some flowers and a Baker’s Twine bow, and create something to send to someone special.

Today’s card is a CASE (acronym for “Copy And Selectively Edit”), from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. The Covered In Sunshine stamp set coordinates with the Beautiful Shapes Dies (Annual Catalog), which I have. I didn’t put much thought into getting these stamps, not only because I had the matching dies, but I love these sentiments. There are three large, mixed font, thoughtful and heartfelt sentiments, a sun, two shooting stars and a small “bright” star.
Today’s Card Parts & Pieces
I cut a Basic White card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″.
The Night of Navy cardstock layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The Basic White mat layer is 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″.
I cut the Designer Series Paper layer (from the “Enjoy The Journey” DSP pack) 3 3/4″ x 5″.
The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink and die cut with one of the dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies.
I used two circle dies to create the moon.
I die cut a full circle first, then used a smaller circle to cut into my original circle to create the “crescent” shape.
The stars are die cuts from my Stitched Stars dies.
I attached the sentiment and moon to my card fromt with Dimensionals.
So, fina a “starry sky” piece of patterned paper, create a crescent moon, add a sentiment and a few stars, and create a card full of good wishes and gratitude to send to someone special.

When I received my Irresistible Blooms Bundle, I didn’t study the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper. Wow! It’s beautiful. I put this card together in less than 10 minutes. The DSP did all the work!
When I saw this design, I thought of the Book Binding Fun Fold template. It worked beautifully. I used 1/8″ thin layers because I wanted a small amount of white around the pretty patterned paper. I cut my layers and assembled the card in about the same time it took to match up a ribbon and tie the bow!

It’s February! I can’t believe January, 2023 is a memory. It was a busy month for me. I spent a lot of time in my craft room and enjoyed every minute. There’s always a few “moments” though. When your finished card lands right on top of your freshly inked ink pad; or when you have your card pieces and parts ready to go and realize you cut the Designer Series Paper in the wrong direction! Oh, and one more… when your scoring blade pops out of your Paper Trimmer and flies “somewhere”, right in the middle of a tutorial! I’m sure you can share a few of these stories, as well. It’s part of what we do, right?

The Inside Story
Inside using the Petal Park stamp set.
There’s one more! I was looking through my punch inventory to come up with something for the belly band. I have an older flower punch that is a very close match to the flowers in the Regency Park Designer Series Paper. I cut two belly bands and decided to include both in the Mini Kit. What do you think of the flower on the belly band?
So, visit some of the supplies you have on hand, find something with petals, add it to a belly band and create something fancy and fun!

I hope you can plan to spend some time in your craft space this weekend. If you can, why not pull out your Blends and do a little coloring? Lee is one of my Team members who shared her card with me. It’s so pretty!
The “Spring Blessings” stamp set is perfect for adding color, whether you use Watercolor Pencils or Stampin’ Blends. Maybe use both. In her card, Lee used Stampin’ Blends to color the stamped images, and ink and a Blending Brrush to create a soft Belmy Blue sky. She shaded the grass with Old Olive ink. Her soft color palette is embellished with a few Brushed Brass Butterflies.
The stamp set includes 20 photopolymer image and sentiment stamps that truly celebrate the beauty and blessings of Spring.
