My card today is created using the Sweetest Thing stamp bundle. It is a fun bundle to use. The candy jars can be used for various kinds of cards. You can use them for candy or for flowers or whatever you can come up with that you may want to put in a jar.
The card starts with a Melon Mambo card base. A Whisper White panel is then adhered to the card base using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.
A panel of How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper (DSP) is cut and stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink with a greeting from the stamp set Sweetest Thing.
Using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies a circle is cut from a panel from All My Love DSP. It is used as the background for the candy jars. It is popped on the How Sweet It Is DSP panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Using the dies from the Sweetest Things stamp bundle (the framelits dies with this bundle are called Jar of Sweets.) two candy jars with candy are cut from the How Sweet It Is DSP. Several different candies including a big lollipop are fussy cut from a panel of the How Sweet It Is DSP. All of these are popped on the All My Love DSP Circle. Three Gingham Gala sequins are scattered around the card front.
The sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo ink on a panel of Whisper White. The sentiment is from the Strong and Beautiful stamp set and the Meant To Be stamp set. The heart stamped in the lower right corner is also from the Meant To Be stamp set and is stamp using Melon Mambo Ink.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like this fun card. My wish is that you find inspiration and encouragement for your own creations as usual. Have a blessed day!

I started with my usual for today, editing pictures for my blog post. Going to my email to retrieve them, I found an email with blog link from my upline, so being distracted I decided to read it. Well, that changes my entire post. I suppose if you CAS(E) a card you can CAS(E) a written message. So here goes. I still had to retrieve the pictures to use but the words are partly from Mary Deatherage. Love to CAS(E) you Mary, you always do such fabulous things. Plus today you are saving me time. Thank you

My card today is from the Forever Lovely stamp bundle. I used the Edgelits Dies more than anything. The greeting on the front of the card comes from Forever Lovely stamp set. I also used the Itty Bitty Birthday for my inside sentiment.
My inspiration for today’s card comes from the As You See It Challenge. I loved playing in this challenge it gave me a chance to use the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet to give my card a metallic look. I liked this paper so much I may use it again tomorrow, look for it.
The base is Whisper White card stock with a Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet as a mat with a Whisper White mat as the top layer. A panel of the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet is cut and then run through the Big Shot using one of the dies from the Lovely Flowers die set. This is part of the bundle called Forever Lovely.
A panel of Whisper White is cut and run through the Big Shot using the same die so the white will show through the cut out flowers even though there is a white mat that would be sufficient for the Lovely Lipstick die cut.
A Whisper White Sheer Ribbon is wrapped around the Lovely Lipstick art panel and tied in a bow before adhering to the layered base.
The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink at the bottom of the art piece onto the Whisper White panel. That’s it for the front of the card.
The inside sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink on a panel of Whisper White. The roses from the Forever Lovely stamp set is stamped in Lovely Lipstick and Pear Pizzazz ink on a small panel of Whisper White. The sentiment and the rose panel are stamped on separate panels and then adhered to the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet.
Thanks for stopping by. My wish is that you find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

I’m typing this after previewing my card for the first time. I tried the new Gutenberg Editor today. Thought I might as well give it a try. I like some parts of it but the one I haven’t mastered is the code for the stamps used for creating the card. Since I didn’t know how to do that I switched back to Classic Editor, I was surprised when I previewed the site again, because what I had done in Gutenberg was still there. I had thought it would all revert to Classic so guess you can use both Gutenberg and Classic in the same post. Have a great day!
My card today is created using the Geared Up Garage stamp set.
Two panels were cut from Pumpkin Pie card stock as mats. 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″.
Two panels are cut, one from Tranquil Tide card stock and the other from a piece of the 6 x 6 Classic Garage DSP. 1-3/8″ x 4-3/8″
These panels are adhered using Liquid Glue and then adhered to the Basic Black card base.
The car was fussy cut from a panel of the 6″ x 6″ Classic Garage DSP and popped on with Stampin Dimensionals.
That’s it for the card front, now on to the inside sentiment.
The inside sentiment is stamped in Memento Black Ink on a 3-5/8″ x 1-3/8″ panel using a stamp from the Cake Soiree stamp set. It is adhered to a
3-3/4″ x 5″ panel from the Classic Garage DSP that has been matted on a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of Pumpkin Pie card stock.
That’s my card for today, I hope you found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations.
