Happy Thursday, y’all – and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! We’ve got a super color combination to play with this week – one of my favorites! – and I know all our ladies have made some beautiful projects for you. Y’all be sure to hop thru all their blogs when you get done here! 🙂
Here’s our colors!!
For my card, I pulled out another new stamp set – this is the Just Add Text set. And I combined it with some Delightful Daisy DSP and a few touches from the Background Bits Host-exclusive stamp set. Take a look-see:
I used the sketch at Mojo Monday this week to help me with the layout of this one.
I started with a Whisper White panel, SNAILd on Daffodil Delight for my card front. Then I used a piece of Old Olive paper from the Delightful Daisy DSP for the diagonal strip. I used a pencil to trace the diagonal cut I needed and cut it with my Trimmer. Then I did the same with a Daffodil Delight card stock strip for the mat. I used Liquid Glue to adhere the paper to the mat and then to the card front.
The middle layer is one of my favorite designs from the Delightful Daisy DSP, SNAILd on Daffodil Delight and then popped on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For the sentiment, I used the beautiful stamped image from the new Just Add Text stamp set. I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to put it right where I wanted it and stamped it in Night of Navy on a Whisper White panel. I used my Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker to color the flowers and a combination of Old Olive Stampin’ Write Marker and Old Olive Watercolor Pencil to color the leaves. Then I SNAILd it to a Daffodil Delight mat.
I wrapped some of the new Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon around the panel, securing it with a Glue Dot in the front. Then I added a little bow with a second Glue Dot. Finally, I added a Night of Navy heart Enamel Shape and the card was done!
On the inside, I first stamped some little flowers in Daffodil Delight across the bottom of a Whisper White panel. These flowers are in the Background Bits Host-Exclusive set coming on 1 June. Over those, I added a Daffodil Delight-matted strip of the Delightful Daisy DSP.
I SNAILd the panel to a Daffodil Delight mat and into my Night of Navy card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the Background Bits flowers in Daffodil Delight across the front…
…and more of the Delightful Daisy DSP on the envelope flap.

So pretty! Love the new Delightful Daisy DSP! Love the sentiment you created with the new Just Text Stamp set!
It’s a very pretty sentiment – and I love how much impact you get with just one stamp!! Thanks, Carlyn! 🙂
Great layout you chose, Mary! I do love this new stamp set and you have showcased it beautifully. Especially love that ribbon with it. 🙂
Thank you, Jari! 🙂
This is really different and I like it! Just got back from eye doctor so my eyes are dilated, thus keeping comments short!
Thanks for taking time to squint thru a comment, Karen! Dilated eyes are tough!! 🙂

So pretty Mary. And it makes me so happy, it’s so cheerful. Love how you used the colors
Can I say something negative? Don’t want you to get a big head from all the compliments!!! Just lookin’ out for you! 🙂
Seriously, this is one of your best. Love the colors, the layout and the sentiment.
I might have missed the negative?? But I’ll pretend I saw it and try to keep my head from swelling! Thanks so much, Julie!! 🙂
OK. Looked at everyone’s cards. Lovely, all. However, Do you and Jari have ESP or did you plan ahead? 😉
I know, right?? My jaw dropped when I saw she’d used the same stamp set. That’s two weeks in a row. We’ve probably for ESPN…. Thanks, Julie! 🙂
Beautiful card Mary!! Love the colouring on the sentiment. Well done.
