Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Calypso Coral cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Granny Apple Green was added on top.
Two rectangles of fruit DSP were cut to 1-3/4 x 3-1/4 and two of the Strawberry Slush print were cut to 1-3/4 x 1-7/8. they were added to the front of the Granny Apple Green leaving a small margin around them.
The circle was cut from Basic White cardstock with the Spotlight on Nature Die and stamped with the Filled with Sweetness greeting in Secret Sea Ink. It was added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Two “orange” slices were cut from Crisp Cantaloupe and the outline with Calypso Coral cardstocks using the Made with Sweetness Dies. They were added to the bottom of the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Two leaf tops were cut from Granny Apple Green and two small flowers from Basic White cardstock from the Made with Sweetness Dies. They were tucked around the circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “Spring has Sprung 2026!” About time! It should start to warm up and stay that way! Today’s card focuses on the GORGEOUS flowered Lovely & Beautiful DSP!

FILLED WITH SWEETNESS

I wanted to keep the DSP as the focus on this card…so just a greeting, a couple labels and flowers from the Filled with Sweetness Dies to round it out!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
Two 3/4 x 5-1/4 strips of green leaf print from Lovely & Beautiful DSP were added on the sides.
The 2-3/4 x 5 floral Lovely & Beautiful DSP print was added to a 3 x 5-1/4 layer of Peach Pie cardstock.
Two strands of the Old Olive Rick Rack Ribbon were added across the front and adhered in the back. The panel was added to the center of the base card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The larger Filled with Sweetness label was cut with the Die from Peach Pie cardstock and adhered over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Filled with Sweetness greeting was stamped with Old Olive Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the smaller label die, then adhered to the larger one flat.
Two flowers were cut from Petal Pink cardstock and adhered to the top and bottom of the larger label.
Two Pearls of Beauty were added to the flower centers.

That’s it! The bold flowers really stand out…especially since that panel is popped up!

IM429 – Filled with Sweetness

March 23, 2026 By Connie | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a basket of fruit! Looks so good!

FILLED WITH SWEETNESS

I was kind of stumped on what to use for today’s card! I love the fruit in the Made with Sweetness and Filled with Sweetness bundles, but they are pretty large to use in the Easter Basket! So, I improvised by using the jar topper in Filled with Sweetness Dies as my “basket”!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic Beige was added on top.
The jar topper was cut from Early Espresso cardstock using the Filled with Sweetness Die and added to the bottom with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The “apples” were cut with the cherry Made with Sweetness Die from Real Red and Granny Apple Green cardstock. The “oranges” or “grapefruits” were cut with the blueberry die from Crushed Curry, Timid Tiger and Granny Apple Green. All were layered into the “basket” with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greenery pieces were cut from Old Olive and tucked around the top.
The greeting from Filled with Sweetness Stamp Set was stamped with Early Espresso on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Filled with Sweetness label Die. It was added to the front of the basket with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Some Linen Thread was tied to the label in a bow.
A trio of green Moody Palette Dots were added to the background.

These two bundles coordinate SO well together! I love how this turned out! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Stamps: Filled with Sweetness
Inks: Early Espresso
C/S: Basic White, Basic Beige, Real Red, Crushed Curry, Timid Tiger, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Early Espresso

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! We have a fun sketch challenge for you to try this week!

Some 1/4″ Misty Moonlight Checkered Trim was looped back and forth a couple times, then added to the front right side with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
The label was cut with the Filled with Sweetness Die in Misty Moonlight Ink on Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimenisonals.
The strawberry was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Strawberry Slush, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. It was cut and added to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Two blue Strawberry & Dots were added to the label.

Those jam jars just make me smile! OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
