I absolutely adore this “thanks for being you” sentiment from Suite Sayings stamp set and couldn’t wait to ink it up.
Suite Sayings is a classy set of all-occasion messages and was chosen as one of My Favorite Things from the Occasions Catalog.
Today’s card was inspired by the yummy color palette for this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA283). Discover what the PPA Design Team has created with these colors here and play along. So fun and easy!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- I love it! Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Archival Ink is rich and crisp for sentiments. This improved formula dries well on Whisper White cardstock.
- I used the Squares Collection Framelits Dies to create layers of 3-D color around the sentiment.
- I popped in a number of additional new products from the Occasions Catalog including the Melon Mambo and Basic Black Baker’s Twine. So cool and the perfect touch!
- A couple dots from It’s My Party Enamel Dots add a glossy pop of color and interest (and on the list of My Favorite Things).
- I lined the Whisper White Medium Envelope with a coordinating Melon Mambo star pattern from It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Stack (also one of My Favorite Things).
- Pin my Stampin’ Pretty Color Mix! Visit my Stampin’ Pretty Color Mix Board on Pinterest for more ideas.

Hi Barb: Thanks for your sweet comment. I cut the centers first, adhere and then crop the edges all at once to get to the maximum size of the black (largest) frame. I don’t have a video but will consider it. M
Mary, do you have a tutorial on how you make your multiple square frames so perfectly? I seem to get a touch of imperfection. Is it in mounting them? Do you cut multiple at the same time?? I want mine like yours!
I adore the extra dimension and definition given by the square frames around that bold sentiment. And the enamel dots are the perfect detail! Another Mary classic!
Love reading these kind comments. Thanks!
Suite Sayings is the PERFECT set this spring. From soft to bold it has it all. Love how you framed “Thanks for being You”. Should I say, “You’re welcome”, or, “Thank you?” Yes, pun intended. Thank you for some great CAS inspiration.
Perfectly framed! Neat and sweet!
OMGosh, I love this card Mary. Is there a how-to video? I want to make this one.

Ps I think I know what’s wrong , why I’m not getting everyone post on there projects, going to try to fix it today , ?
Fortunately, It’s My Party has LOTS of DSP! Thanks, Frenchie.
Such a beautiful, bold graphic, Mary! I love the sweet addition of the twine here. I, too, love this sentiment.
I sure appreciate your comments. Thanks!
The color combination and design layout makes this a ‘CLASSIC” card. Well Done my friend!
This is DIVINE! I love squares and white space. Another perfect card.
