The blog title says it perfectly!! Why else would we send someone a card than to “Hope your day is wonderful”. This is another great sentiment from the A Mother’s Flair stamp set.
A Mother’s Flair, 145905
I hope you didn’t do a double take and think this is the same card I posted last Thursday. It is very similar and actually has the leftover parts I played with on that card. I love utilizing pieces that did not fit exactly on one card into another card where they work perfectly.
When you look at these colors together, they do not seem to work all that well. But when the Designer Series Paper has all of those colors in it, then it does. They go from “No Way!” to “Oh , that is cute”.
I have been boxing up part of my craft space to put in a new desk. In doing so, I failed to make a few cards ahead of time. Oops!!! That is why today’s post is a little late. Now I have to get back to it and clean up the rest so I can make cards for the rest of the week. There is also an InKing Royalty Blog Hop on Wednesday. Stay tuned for that because they are always fun and full of awesome ideas!
I realized during my boxing up that I have WAY TOO MUCH stuff!!! But I did get my new desk up and now have to put that section back together and then try to clean out the rest. I have a ton of craft supplies to donate to a Special Needs business near me.
Thank you so much for visiting with me tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed this sort of “Take Two” card using the same products. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

The Amazing You and Celebrate You in the Sale-A-Bration catalog are both fabulous items. They work wonderfully together or seperatly . I have joined them on today’s card.
Celebrate You Thinlits, 146840
The Amazing You stamp set is free with a $50.00 order and the Celebrate You Thinlits are free with a $100.00 order. I know that for me, meeting these order qualifications was not at all difficult to do! HaHa…. I hope seeing them together will excite you about getting one or both of them.
I was trying to do a different layout for today’s card, and I did manage that. I also rarely use all Subtle family colors. I may use one and pair it with a Bright or Regal, but this is the first totally soft color card I have made in a very long time. It makes me wonder why that is????
I want to point out the Glittery & Clear Epoxy Shapes that are on the upper part of the card. This is the first time I have used the tear drop shaped ones. I wanted to give the upper section a little something and I believe these fit the bill.
The supplies I used are all listed at the bottom of the post. Thank you for visiting with me today. I really appreciate your visit and comments. I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Life is indeed beautiful. It snowed here in the Atlanta area yesterday for the third time this winter. That is extremely unusual for us. And when I woke up and looked out the window it was just beautiful. Of course I did not have to get out in it since I am retired! I am sure some of my friends had a different viewpoint. So when I made this card the sentiment reminded me of my feelings earlier in the day.
A Mother’s Flair, 145905
I hope you love that sentiment as much as I do! It is perfect for so many occasions. I had to consider this stamp set for a bit, but I am so happy that I purchased it. On first glance it is a Mother’s Day set, and my Mom passed away many years ago. But I kept being drawn to the individual stamps. I finally gave in and I am so now in love with it. I already have a couple more cards planned using individual stamps.
I may have gone a little overboard with the different shapes. I tried just using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. But it made the pieces too large. So I had to rethink it and ended up using a variety of the layering pieces. I hope it gives you ideas for different cards though.
I hope you enjoyed my very bright card. Thank you very much for visiting today! The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.

I am back again with the Bird Banter stamp set. I know I have been using this set and the Painted With Love DSP quite a bit. But they are both awesome products that I just love. Today is a bird birthday.
Bird Banter, 145852
This card focuses on the bird and the new Simple Stripes Embossing Folder. I love the dimension that embossing folders give to a card. You have the raised embossed layer, which is used here. But you can also turn it over and have the debossed look which is great as well.
Another focal layer is the new Tutti Fruitti Adhesive Sequins. These little guys are super as they come with a glue dot attached. You just pick them up with your paper piercing tool and place them on the card. So easy and it adds such a great touch. Also, it is a little hard to tell but the party hat is fussy cut and raised with a mini dimensional.
Thank you very much for visiting today! I hope you have enjoyed my card and will consider the Bird Banter for your collection. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Today’s card is from the Picture Perfect Party Suite of products. I love all of these items. They are great together or separate. My card is only using a few of the items.
Picture Perfect Birthday, 145519
I did uneven layering to balance out the white areas for this card. The DSP is from the Picture Perfect Party 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. What you normally see is the photography side being used. But this is the other side. I tend to use the other sides of the paper more than the more popular side.
I have two tricks that I will share from this layout. First: The Stitched Shape Circle is the 2nd largest. I die cut it before I stamped. To me anyway, it was easier to line up the three candles with the smaller area. The fact that the candles are photopolymer makes a big difference as well. I love that you can see through and around them! Second: To have the banner cuts line up, I used a tiny bit of adhesive and lined up the white at the right end of the other, with proper spacing top to bottom. I then punched both pieces together. Separate the two and move the white back even with the left end of the other piece. You now have perfectly lined up banner tips!

I have a warm and fuzzy Panda Love for you today. These little guys are so cute and so easy to work with that I could not resist another quick card.
Party Pandas, 147221
The Party Pandas set is a Sale-A-Bration set. You can get it FREE, with the purchase of $50.00 from the Annual or Occasions Catalogs. Besides the panda, the second star of the card is the Painted With Love Designer Series Paper. I could use this paper every day! It is beautiful on each side of every sheet. I don’t think I have ever said that before.
The “Love” on the envelope is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. There are a couple of small words from that set that fit perfectly on the little envelope. Obviously the color inspiration came from the DSP. I love Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo would not normally put the two together. But WOW!!, I love them together with this small piece of paper that combines both.
The other highlight of the card is the Glitter & Clear Shapes. I used the small round ones for the Panda’s eyes. It gives it a 3-D look and makes the stand out. The hardest part of this card is cutting all the layers. I have provided the measurements that I used below.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I appreciate the lovely comments and am happy to answer any questions you have.
MEASUREMENTS:
Rich Razzleberry base is cut to 11 X 4 1/4 and folded in half for a top fold card
The two larger pieces (Melon Mambo and DSP) are cut to 2 1/2 X 4 each
The two larger Basic Black pieces are cut to 2 5/8 X 4 1/8
The Whisper White piece is cut to 1 7/8 X 2 5/8
The small Basic Black piece is cut to 2 X 2 3/4
