Stampin' Up! Sweet Thoughts Anniversary for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a theme challenge today..."spring"...and here is what I created for our hop...



I was able to create this spring card due to the generosity of my two uplines, Mary Deatherage and Amy Koenders. They rewarded their teams with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes for exceeding the Sale-A-Bration goals they set. I also am grateful to Suzanne Netz for her inspiration. Would you like to take a closer look? Okay...
I used a card base from the M & M Cards and Envelopes pack, a piece of Basic White cardstock and four cards from the M & M card pack. I taped the two flowery ones together and cut it to 5" x 3 3/4". The "happy life" one, I cut to 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" and adhered it over the seam.

The butterfly was fussy cut from the fourth card from the pack. I adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Next I created a banner from Pecan Pie cardstock and Basic White for the "happy" sticker from the M & M pack and also used the "anniversary" sticker.

For the inside, I used the two strips that were left from cutting down the flowerery panels. I cut the solid color mat from one of the envelopes in the card and envelope pack. The butterfly is one from the Paper Accents and is sponged lightly with Calypso Coral and the body is colored with a Pecan Pie Stamp N Write Marker.
