Candy Shoppe Sweet-Themed Cards With Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, dropping in to share some sweet-themed cards for Summer using our Candy Shoppe Stamps.

I used the gumball machine and gumballs to take center stage for my first card showcasing the Candy Shoppe Stamps. I framed my images by creating a stitched window using our Stitched Arch Dies and then added stitching to either side of my 3.25" wide panel using the stitched edge die from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I inked behind my window directly onto my card base (to reduce bulk and extra paper) using a light touch of Salty Ocean distress ink and then added strips of rainbow gingham patterned paper to either side from our Rainbow Bright Paper pack. It was such a simple card to create, but I love how it turned out! I'm always a sucker for bright, happy cards (no pun intended).

My second card pairs the lollipops, licorice, suckers, and wrapped candies from our Candy Shoppe Stamps with the kids from our Spring Showers Stamps. When my daughters were little, my husband would often bring them back these larger than life Chupa Chups Giant Lollipops as gifts when returning from business trips (which are wrapped to look like their famous lollipops, but really are just a plastic case holding normal sized Lollipops inside). With that sweet memory in mind, I thought it would be fun to pair these two stamp sets together, despite them not matching in scale at first glance.

I once again inked up a small section behind them, directly onto my white card base, before adhering the parade of kids to my scene. I then stamped the punny greeting from the set and added a row of wrapped candies from the set to form a border between the scene and the polka-dot print from our Rainbow Bright Paper pack.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛
