I have to confess that I’m a font fanatic and the font for the sentiments in the Stampin’ Up! Timeless Love stamp set makes my heart go pitter pat. Have a question or comment about today’s project? You can share it HERE.
The layout for today’s 4 1/2″ square card was inspired by this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Punch it up! The “smile” sentiment (Timeless Love) was cropped with a 2″ Circle Punch. I added a Blackberry Bliss heart (Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack) with a piece of a Stampin’ Dimensional for a 3-D pop.
- Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine adds a simple accent with just a hint of shabby chic. I adore it with the gingham. How about you?
- The Very Vanilla and Blackberry Bliss gingham pattern as well as the envelope are from the Stampin’ Up! Farmer’s Market Designer Series Paper collection. Print my FREE Designer Series Paper Coordinating Color Chart as a quick reference for selecting Stampin’ Up! colors.
- Need the perfect sized envelope? I used the Envelope Punch Board to design a custom sized envelope for my 4 1/2″ square card.
- Pin it! Here’s a photo showing key products for today’s card that you can save or pin to Pinterest. You can click it to enlarge. See ALL my product “how to” photos in one spot on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.

Another Mary Fish home run! You take such simple elements and bring the design together like a million dollars! I am going to esp miss Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon when the new colors come in:(
A Mary Fish home run . . . I love that, Trish!
I love a pretty font too. This card is fabulous, Mary!
Love it Mary! And the sweet Envelope perfectly finishes it!
Greetings from Boston, MA. I’m not sure if you have addressed this before, but can you tell me what you use for an adhesive for envelopes. These are for the envelopes that accompany my cards I give as gifts. Thank you.
Hi Denise: Great question. Much depends on personal preference. I like Fast Fuse for adhering custom envelopes and adding envelope liners. It has more strength than snail. It can be a bit tricky to use at first but worth the learning curve (snap like a check mark). Many do perfectly well with Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Tear & Tape Adhesive. M
Well Mary, you made a fantastic card with one of my all time favorite SU colors…..Blackberry Bliss, love it and love what you did with it. This sentiment set has the most beautiful font in it, it actually looks like someone wrote it with a fountain pen.
Thank you for sharing.
I agree about the “fountain pen” feel of the font, Maria. Show me stamp with a pretty font and I’ll want to own it!
Blackberry Bliss is definitely blissful, Maria!
Great take, Mary, on the sketch. All the elements go together perfectly.
Such a lovely card, Mary! I was eyeballing that stamp set this weekend because I, too, love that font. The sentiment didn’t fit with what I was making, so… I just love all this Blackberry Bliss. Perfectly designed.
We are both font fanatics, BK. Thanks for your kind comment!
FANTASTIC card my friend!
Thanks, Miss Kadie. I sure love your daily comments!
I love you card this morning and being purple which is my color and my B-day today it seems you made it just for me. Have a great day.
Happy Birthday, Nadine!
