Today's card features the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. It didn't take very long for this stamp set to catch my eye! I love the watercolor-like florals, and the sentiments - both what they say, and the pretty fonts. For this card, I used Seaside Spray to create a hydrangea (or at least that's what it looks like to me). I am no flower expert, so maybe that's not what it's intended to be, but I like it!
I thought the wood pattern in the Pressed Petals DSP was a perfect fit. This is probably my favorite sheet of DSP in the whole catalog. I might have cried a little as I was chopping it all up to use for card class this weekend. (Just kidding, but I can't be the only one who hoards their favorite paper!)
If you love this card as much as I do, you might be interested in the ordering special I have going on this week. From now through Friday, place an order of more than $50 using host code DZZM9G49 in my online store, and I'll send you this card, plus the 3 others pictured below.
If you're local to me, these are the cards we'll be making at my card class this Saturday. You can see all of the event details here. I have a few spots left that I would love to fill!

Earlier this week, my husband and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. I did not think to make a card ahead of time (oops!), so I got out the Looking Up Card Kit to see what I could come up with. Luckily, there was a sentiment that worked, and the palm trees that reminded me of our honeymoon to Hawaii.
The background paper comes from the Pressed Petals Specialty DSP. This paper did not appeal to me at first, but it is quickly becoming a favorite! If you miss the Wood Textures paper that retired, this paper is for you! There is a wood pattern, plus this burlap one - both perfect neutrals for your cards, and both wonderful for masculine cards! And then of course you've got some beautiful floral patterns too.
If you are looking for a quick and easy card, our kits are a great place to start! This one is all-inclusive, meaning you don't need any other supplies, unless you want to make alternatives like this one. The extras I used are listed below.
Stamps: Looking Up
Ink: Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso
Paper: Early Espresso, Bermuda Bay, Pressed Petals DSP, Whisper White
Embellishments: Glitter Enamel Dots
Happy Stamping!
