Blooming with Kindness

I just finished making a cake for our dinner tomorrow after church.  It's called Missy's Peanut Butter Passion Cake.  It looks delicious and I can't wait to try it!  I really enjoy baking - I find it relaxing.  Unfortunately I also enjoy eating what I've baked!

But before I retire for the night, I wanted to show you cards made with the new stamp set Blooming with Kindness.  This is such a beautiful set and I absolutely love the sayings that coming in it - both what they say and the fonts used.  Gorgeous!

Some other demonstrators and I got together last weekend for a little "mini convention" here in our area.  Everyone who came brought a make-n-take project for the other attendees to make.  Here is what I brought for my project. I saw this card on another blog by Catherine Stockley and basically CASE-d it.  Isn't it pretty?

I loved the layout of the card, but I wanted to brighten it up a bit, so here's what we made at the Chalk-a-holics meeting last night.
SUPPLIES:
Blooming with Kindness stamp set
Floral District DSP
Rose Red, Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray, and Whisper White card stock
Rose Red, Tangerine Tango dye inks
Lucky Limeade marker
Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon
Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies (from the SU! Holiday Catalog)

I love the bright and cheerful look of this card!  The color combination came from what was on the Floral District designer series paper.  Not a combination that I would normally choose, but I love it!

Here's hoping there's cake in your near future!
