The Splendid Day Suite
It’s always a splendid day when we get to do some stamping! I really enjoyed breaking out the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and Splendid Stems Dies from the Splendid Day Suite for my latest online card class.
While there are many items in the Splendid Day Suite, I did not use all of them. In fact, with this very fern-y based stamp set, I did not even use the color green. The Splendid Thoughts Bundle is featured in all 3 of my class cards. Check out my video for the class here.
Splendid Day in Night Of Navy
My first card from the Splendid Day Online Class is all blue and white. I adore this classic color combo. The Designer Series Paper, Sun Prints, gives us something beautiful to work off of immediately.
I prefer the Thick White Cardstock when choosing a white card base. I also love lots of matting and layers. This card was really very easy to put together. The stamping is not two-step, even though it appears it might be. The outline and inner fill do not line up exactly at all.
Splendid Masculine Christmas Card
My second card from the Splendid Day Online Class took a more masculine turn. I chose some DSP from Painted Christmas, picking out a pine cone pattern. The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper added an elegant touch as well.
After heat embossing my fern outline with gold powder, I did a little water coloring using ink refill and a Water Painter. I did this on Very Vanilla Cardstock, not Water Color Paper or Shimmery White Cardstock. And the Stitched Rectangle Dies helped to bring this card together.
Let’s Celebrate a Splendid Day
My third and final card from the Splendid Day Online Class is done in purples. The shiny Fresh Freesia DSP is from the Splendid Day collection. I paired this with some Rich Razzleberry embossed in none other than the Fern 3D folder.
This card features a lot of special touches, like some background stamping with first and second generation ink, as well as silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon. I used Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add another accent of silver.

I love to create a color swap card, and couldn’t resist trying my Night of Navy card (made with Sun Prints DSP) against a Calypso Coral/Cajun Craze card (made with Pretty Prints DSP). Many of the patterns on both of these sets of Designer Series Paper are identical in design, but vary in color. Which one do your prefer?
