Today’s “Feel Better Soon” card gets its sunshine from coordinating products in Parakeet Party, a bright and cheery lime green. It looks especially crisp mixed with Basic White and Basic Black. Pip Pip! Parakeet Party is one of five retiring Stampin’ Up! 2022-2024 In Colors. If you love the following retiring In Colors, I highly recommend you scoop up all their amazing, coordinating products NOW (before they sell out).
WHAT I LOVE. I’m such a fan of die cut sentiments and the Stampin’ Up! Wanted to Say dies (one of My Favorite Things) cover the “conversation!” For “Feel Better Soon” I used the solid die (Basic Black) and line die (Parakeet Party). They are really striking when layered!
