Crafting Kindness: A Filled With Fun Colorful Stamping Adventure

 Welcome back to a world of paper crafts. Today, we're diving into a project that's as colorful as it is beautiful. So, grab your Kindest Expressions stamp set, the Filled With Fun stamp set, and those amazing Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. It's time to turn plain cardstock into a masterpiece filled with laughter and love.

The star of the show today is the Kindest Expressions stamp set because, let's be real, who can resist spreading kindness with a smile? The sentiment we're using is like a warm hug wrapped in a one-line message. Placing it right in the middle of the Basic White cardstock, we're making sure that kindness takes center stage, just like it should!

Now, onto the Filled With Fun stamp set and the real beauty – flowers that are ready for their moment in the spotlight! This stamp set is an online exclusive with Stampin' Up!  That's okay with me since most of my shopping is online these days anyway!!

It's time to unleash the power of Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. Think of them as the superheroes in the crafting world. We give these flowers a colorful makeover, because let's face it, who doesn't love a good floral fashion statement?

The colors used on this card are Azure Afternoon, Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, and Berry Burst
Tip for you:  the Blends come in pairs (a lighter and darker pen), and I keep mine together by using a hair elastic.  You can purchase these in a package of 100 when you grocery shop or at the drugstore.  Always store Alcohol Markers laying flat.  The markers keep their color longer that way.

 Enter the Poppy Parade cardstock, an unsung hero in the framing department. It's the red carpet for our crafting celebrities, turning our card into a VIP masterpiece. This Basic White cardstock is about to shine like never before, surrounded by the vibrant Poppy Parade glory!

  And there you have it! Our crafting adventure has resulted in a card that's not just a piece of paper; it's a burst of kindness and floral fabulousness. This card is ready to be sent out into the world, armed with the power to spread laughter and joy like confetti at a crafting party.

  I hope this project brought a smile to your face. Remember, crafting is not just about the end result; it's about the journey, the laughs, and the joy it brings. So, until the next crafting escapade, keep those scissors sharp, your stamps ready, and craft with a touch of humor!
