Hydrangea Haven "Uplifting card"

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Have you every had those moments in your life where your feeling overwhelmed or uncertain?  Maybe it's because your a new mother, just started a new job or moved to a new town and haven't found any friends yet!  I wanted to come up with a card that would be great to send to our family and friends that are in this situation.  The difference receiving an assuring card can make in someone's live is monumental. 

I have a brother who is fighting cancer at this time.  He lives in Australia which is so far away.  Anytime he gets mail it brightens his day!  Now this card would need to be a little more masculine for him but the point is, we need to send more cards that can uplift people and brighten their days!

For this card I used the Hydrangea Haven Bundle by Stampin UP!®  The great thing is that Stampin Up® designed an entire suite of products that coordinate with this bundle!  So lets look at how I put it all together!

Always in My Heart "Anniversary"

Welcome to my blog!  I hope this card will give you some inspiration for Anniversary cards!  

For this card I used the Always in My Heart Bundle by Stampin UP!® I added in products from the Love you Always Suite also by Stampin UP®.  Then added in Stampin Blends, ribbon, ink.  

This card has a funny story!  When I started with this design I intended to use the other side of the Designer Series Paper.  It has black and white strips and I wanted to color in the white strips which I did and it looked great!  Then I turned it over to adhere it to the card front and saw this side and fell in love with it.  It's such a unique look for this side of the Designer Series Paper! So this is the side I decided on!  

I think this would look great using any of the purple or pink combo's of the Stampin Blends.  If you do one in a different color send me a picture.  I'd love to see it!

Don't forget if you haven't already added your email to the right to follow me add it now so you will get updates when I add new cards!
