I love the sentiment “heartfelt.” It reinforces the message for almost any type of card (thank you, sympathy, friendship, birthday). This one is headed out to share my gratitude to the amazing employees at Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Support. They provide us the kind of service that is hard to find these days. 
I used today’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA157) for the layout. Check out what the rest of the PPA Resident Artists have created HERE and PLAY ALONG!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper provides coordinating colors and the perfect pop of pattern.
- “Nothin’ could be finer” than Stampin’ Up! Ovals Collection Framelits Dies for creating classic and quick layers.
- In Color Dahlias add yummy, dimensional bouquet. They stay in place with Stampin’ Up! Glue Dots.
- Nope. You won’t see stitched cards from me (but I think they are beautiful). I don’t even own a sewing machine and wouldn’t know what to do with one if I did. However, the Needlepoint Border Textured Impressions Embossing Folder gives me the cutest little cross stitch pattern. I’m fine with faux!
- The vase is one of my favorite tricks. I snipped off the bottom of an ornament cropped with the Holiday Ornaments Framelits Dies.

Mary,
Love everything you do…so fresh and detailed! A great thing to do for DS…I think I will send one, too!
Fantastic card!! So many sharp elements! Super FUN!
Thanks for ‘reminding’ me to use my ornaments as a vase!
Adorable, Mary! I love the vase with the dahlias!
A very “put together” card. The dahlias add the perfect touch
Great card – the vase and flowers are perfect! I am still a Summer Starfruit fan – and you always knwo how to make it shine!
Quick note . . . fellow demonstrator Stella McKay came up with the idea to shower demonstrator support with cards. I loved her idea and wanted to participate in the “shower” pronto!
Beautiful card, Mary! Love your paper choices and color scheme!
Fantastic combo Mary! Love the absence of stems on the flowers. Great idea.

Wonderful card, Mary! And I’m with you on this whole stitching with a sewing machine. I used to have one, don’t want another. I’ll stick to faux with you! 🙂

I share your sentiments, Mary. Ever so grateful. And your card is simply stunning!

I just received Comfort Cafe DSP this week. I cannot wait to play with it this weekend! Very cool interpretation of the sketch, Mary.
Another beauty Mary!!! This is so crisp and clean. Love it! I don’t have the ornament die but I do have the ornament punch and can’t wait to try this!
This is a very pretty card. I love what you did with the comfort cafe paper, and of course, the dahlia. I just love your cards. Thank you for sharing your great talent.
