How many fun 3 and 4 letters words can you create for this fun for card? I started jotting ideas down on my phone whenever I think of them. This card is so much fun because it’s super extra with the bold wording! I love the Mini Alphabet dies and how well they work with this card. You an also use small phrases instead of lettering. Lots of options here. Try this one out—the person who receives this card will treasure it!
I love how pretty this card looks and it just screams spring time! The base is Basic White. The layers are DSP from the Full of Life 6×6 DSP and then I used Pretty in Pink and Blackberry Bliss as well. I am really enjoying the Spring Corners Stamps and Dies. The corner sentiments are a unique way to stamp messages! I die cut the corner flowers on the Basic White and then did it on Black Berry Bliss and Granny Apple Green so I could fill in the flowers and leaves with the cut out pieces. This is a cool way to add some dimension as well. I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut out my letters and glued them to the Pretty in Pink pieces and added them to my blocks and then added a little flower to the last block. Finish it up with some embellishments and you have a super cool card!!

I’m so glad the Terrific Toadstools carried over because they are so cheerful and fun! This base is Granny Apple Green cardstock layered with Pumpkin Pie cardstock and Terrific Toadstools DSP (retired). die cut some Melon Mambo and Basic White circles and layered them together. I added the mushroom with some dimensionals.
I created this last sample from Lost Lagoon and Wild Wheat (retired) cardstock. I also used Everyday Happiness DSP. I die cut the letters in Pretty Peacock which pairs nicely with Lost Lagoon. I used the new Patterns of Friendships stamps for the front of the card. Can you see that the tag that says Bestie swings on its own. I glued it to the ribbon! Such a sweet card for my friend.
Although this card looks tricky, it’s not. Once you’ve made one you can make lots! The fun is in the words or phrases you add to the super cool blocks in the center of the card. What a surprise the recipient gets when they open this card!!
Enjoy this one!!! …and happy crafting!
