I truly don’t know how five weeks disappeared that fast! March was a whirlwind… I headed to Stampin’ Up! OnStage with a few hundred of my closest crafty friends, then rolled straight into my son’s spring break, followed by Easter… and now somehow it’s almost May?! Time is clearly on fast-forward!
Today I have a special treat for you! I created this card for my Simply Suite Stampers group and couldn’t wait to share it here, too. The Homemade Sweetness Suite is just too cute for words. It has the sweetest whimsical, summertime charm in both the images and the designer paper. And one of my favorite details? You can fussy cut those adorable jam jars right from the DSP… instant charm in a snip!
Another fun bonus is the Made with Sweetness Bundle and coordinating workshop kit. The dies include the cutest recipe-shaped label along with berries, which opens the door to so many creative ideas like recipe cards or even a mini album. It’s one of those suites that keeps the inspiration flowing long after your first project.
Alright… let’s get to the card!
