Crafting Joy with the Sweet Peas Stamp Set
Crafting joy with the Sweet Peas Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! is a delightful experience. This stamp set is perfect for making greeting cards that are not only adorable but also filled with a touch of whimsy. Whether you’re making a birthday card, a thank you note, or just a simple hello, the Sweet Peas Stamp Set offers endless creative possibilities.
For this card, I started with the beautiful Full of Life Designer Paper which gave me my color palette of Balmy Blue and Shaded Spruce, paired with the nice crisp neutrals of Basic White and Black. I then stamped the focal image on a semi-circle, colored it in with Blends Alcohol markers, and added the sentiment. Super quick & easy!
This card design would work with any color palette, so check out my Color Combination Library if you’d like more color combinations. Color is a great way to expand your creativity and help you make the most of this versatile stamp set. So are you ready to craft cards that are sure to bring joy? Let’s get started!

A Tip from Barb
This card is super easy thanks to the use of the pretty paper and the Stitched Circle die-cut. If you have a large circle punch or can fussy-cut out your own circle, this card could easily be a Busy Bee card! Give it a try – it’s super fun and is sure to bring a smile to someone’s face!
