Navy is not your traditional color for Valentine’s Day; however, it’s my friends favorite color. What do you think? I used the gorgeous Serene Love Designer Series Paper. This paper was an online exclusive. It’s now on sale for $8.75 (Last Chance Product) and is only available while supplies last. Check it out!

Why Handmade Cards Make People Feel Extra Special

Meaningful connections with others can lead to a longer life, according to research cited by Stanford Medicine. They can also strengthen your immune system, lower levels of anxiety and depression, and lead to higher self-esteem. But you don’t need a scientific study to know that connecting with people just feels good.

Sending someone a card is a great way to reach out, and sending a handmade card makes the recipient feel extra special. A handmade card signals that you care about the person enough to spend time creating something just for them. It’s an added element that shows you care—especially when it comes with a sincere and personalized message from you written on the inside of the card.

Do you have a favorite card from today’s showcase? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below. How will you celebrate Send a Card to a Friend Day?

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Clean & Simple Garden Walk for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #223

My project for this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge is a clean & simple card with a sneak peek at a gorgeous new Designer Series Paper, Garden Walk (available Sept. 6).
Stampin' Up! Garden Walk Clean & Simple All Occasion card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here’s this week’s inspiration board.
I went across the bottom with Free, Leaves, CAS (Clean and Simple) Design. I also made Tic Tac Toe going down the middle with Frame It, Gold or Silver, and Leaves. This card came together fast!

Measurements:

  • Card Base (Basic White Thick): 5-1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
  • Cardstock Layer (Poppy Parade): 4 1/4″ x 3
  • DSP (Garden Walk): 4″ x 2 3/4″, 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, 1/2″ x 6″ & 2″ x 6″ (envelope)
  • Scrap (Mossy Meadow): to punch stem from Bough Punch & 1 3/4″ Circle Punch
  • Scrap (Basic White) to stamp and die cut (Stylish Shapes) sentiment
  • Gold Twine (Simply Elegant Trim): ~5″ for bow

I also created this book style gift box for a team member who recently promoted.  (She is a former librarian and loves books as much as I do!)

This book box is the perfect size for gift cards or other small gifts or treats.

The ribbon is another sneak peek and I love it! It’s Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim and it’s so easy to work with! It makes a nice “bookmark” (paired with a retired gold tassel) for my little box. *This project makes Tic Tac Toe on it’s own going down the middle.

I love the color combination used for these projects.

The Garden Walk Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites in the upcoming Mini Holiday Catalog. It has all the colors in my color combination for today’s projects. Look at these beautiful patterns and all the different colors.

Trust me, you are going to want to add this to your wish list for September 6th! Pretty patterns & colors, and versatile…that’s a winning combination!

I hope you will join us for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week.  Be sure to check out what the other designers created.
