The card for today is a quick and easy one that would work for most occasions by changing the sentiment. Sadly I needed a sympathy card. This fun paper and Bundle are great for quick cards.
Stamp Bundle
The Labeled With Love Bundle is a unique one in the Annual Catalog. It is one of two bundles that you have a choice of either a Punch or Dies to complete the bundle. Of course you could purchase the bundle and then add the other as an extra. I love Punches so that is the one I chose.
For this card I used the stamped outline for the punched image. And I added the little grouping of flowers. The flowers actually have a matching stem so you can stamp them in their proper colors. But I only wanted the flowers. Although the added stems would have been good as well.
The butterfly is part of the stamp set also. And there is a filler stamp to match it. I decided I liked the idea of stamping on the same DSP as the background. It looked better than I thought it would actually! That is always a nice surprise. It gives a softer look. I also stamped a second butterfly on the DSP and added it to the inside of the card. There are no dies for the butterfly, but they are quick and easy to fussy cut.
Sentiment
This sweet sentiment is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. That set is all sentiments and has ones for almost any occasion. I used a matching sentiment on the inside. And of course I love the font and strong script used. It really adds to the message.
Papers
The gorgeous DSP is the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. I suppose this would be considered one of the reverse sides. Whatever it is called, I love the mixed colors. To partner with these colors I went a bit off course. Instead of the exact colors, which are the new In Colors, I went a shade darker. The card base is Berry Burst with Coastal Cabana as the layer. And it is the tag color s well. NOTE: This DSP is part of the DSP sale during August!!
Finishes
To ground the sentiment, I added a strip of Petunia Pop ribbon. That is one of the colors from the DSP. The sentiment is then added with some Dimensionals, as is the butterfly. For the touch of bling, I used the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems. I mixed the colors with the soft green and the soft berry color. All of the same color or a mix is fine with me!
