I combined products from Stampin’ Up! and My Favorite Things today in order to create a card to enter in the Festive Friday Challenge #43.
Here is the banner that inspired my design. I picked encouragement/friendship themes, orange, a tiny bit of blue, and hearts for my card. You can see all of the entries and play along by clicking HERE.
This theme goes right along with my 30 Days of Encouragement, so I was excited to use several of the elements! The stamps I chose for my sentiments are part of the Blog Candy prize, A Big Thank You Bundle. There is still time to leave me a comment on how you are encouraging others with your cards. I will be picking a winner on Oct. 1st.
The sweet little MFT girl is standing in front of a Stitched Be Mine heart die that I lifted up on fun foam cut from the same die. Her orange (Grapefruit Grove) gingham dress is from the 2018-20 In Color pack of 6″ x 6″ DSP. The sentiment from A Big Thank You is stamped onto a Stitched Labels die cut piece of Whisper White. I colored her with Blends Markers.
“You are the best” is also in A Big Thank You and the small Grapefruit Grove heart is from Meant To Be.
I sponged the background hearts using a MFT stencil and three shades of orange from Stampin’ Up!: Mango Melody, Grapefruit Grove, and Terracotta Tile.
What a fun challenge! It took me into my cupboards to see what I had to fit the Inspo List, and I think this card will be an encouragement to someone special!
Have a wonderful week ahead! Be sure to do something every day that makes your heart sing!

Love your sweet card, Karen! Also love that you are making and sending cards for 30 days of encouragement. Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday!
Thanks so much, Beth!
This little girl is so cute in her gingham paper pieced dress! I love the stenciled hearts, and the overall layout. Thank you so much for sharing this sweet card with Festive Friday this week!
Thank you, Ann! She was fun to make!
I adore that you use favorite products, not just SU items, when it’s appropriate. This is the sweetest card! TFS
Thanks, Linda! I never know how people will respond when I use other products, but there are some that I enjoy so much that I want to share on occasion!
Thank you, Chris! I didn’t know how to color her at first either. All I can say is try it! Then try it again, until you like it! The Blends make it easy 🙂 !
Very cute. I always say I am going to get one of these little girls but then never do. Maybe I don’t know how to color her face and hair. You did a good job coloring her and piecing the dress was another cute idea. A very fun and cute card.
