Today’s card features the Sweet Conversations Bundle from the Sweet Talk Suite Collection in the January – June 2022 Mini Catalogue. This Suite is featured in our Border Buddy FREE PDF for January and there are only 2 days left to earn it!

I based my card on a sketch from another card I made several years ago. When I get stuck on trying to come up with an idea for a card there are strategies I use to find my mojo including:

cards from our publications designed by the amazing concept artists at Stampin’ Up!
cards I find on Pinterest, Youtube and Instagram
cards on Stampin’ Up! Canada Facebook Page
CASE (copy and selectively edit) cards I’ve made in the past or received in a swap

I loved this card from several years ago and how I could use three different patterns of paper on one card. I love the Sweet Talk 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and wanted to showcase several of the patterns on my card so this design is perfect.
