Send A Card To A Friend Day

Handmade card created with Stampin' Up! Avant Garnden and Delicate Details shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

Today is send a card to a friend day!

There are a lot of “silly” days or holidays created for different purposes. There are days for celebrating coffee, popcorn, loving your pets and more! Some of them are fun, and let’s face it, in today’s world, light-hearted and fun is a very welcoming thing!

However, I really like today’s designation; Send a card to a friend day. Good friends can be hard to come by and for the most part, we only have a handful in our lifetime, so I think this a great day to celebrate!

I managed to get this card done before leaving on quick road trip to help out our youngest son, so I won’t be able to send this card to all of my friends, but I do have a friend in mind.
I want to encourage you to take some time today to get a card sent off to a friend. It may just be the encouragement they need! 
I had this simple design in mind, and it turned out fantastic. The embellishments of ribbon, lace, and the card jewel give its simplicity a little punch and the Clear Wink of Stella highlights and spatter give it a pretty shimmer. Seeing this in person is really the only way to truly appreciate that shimmer. My photo just does not do it justice!
I used Avant Garden and Delicate Details to create this card. Both of these sets are free Sale-A-Bration sets. Both sets are so beautiful!

Sealed With Love Valentine Card In Non-Traditional Colors

Valentine card created with Sealed With Love, Stampin' Up! in non-traditional colors shared by Darla Olson at inkheaven

Valentine card created with Sealed With Love in non-traditional colors.

This card is a spin off of the card layout that I used for the remARKable sale-a-bration hop here. (There is also a tutorial there which contains instructions for this layout).
I wanted to try to do a card with non-traditional colors. I love reds and pinks, but some of the modern looking elements of this bundle were just begging for a different look; so I gave it one!

For your convenience, I have listed most of the supplies I used creating this card below.

Floral love note card full of happy hearts created with Sealed With Love.

This pretty swap card was created by Marcia Gay. I love how she used the Sweetheart Punch (or maybe it was a Sweet & Sassy Framelit) to cut the heart from the Sending Love Designer Series Paper. That’s perfect coordination right there!
This is a simple card layout made striking by the layers, texture and color combo.

This is such a fun swap card; I love it! This fun card was created by Robin S Goens. Even though it has a lot of elements; it’s really a simple card.

I plan on using her idea multiple times!
