Welcome to the March Edition of Trip Achievers Blog Hop which links achieving demonstrators across the globe to inspire and dazzle you with creative inspiration! You are at Candy Rattray, sweetstamper.com and the full list of participating demonstrators is at the bottom of this post.
Inspired Thoughts was the featured bundle in my March Class by Mail (Cards With a Twist), and this card featuring the Inspiring Canopy Dies in a big way. In actuality, both Inspiring Canopy Dies and coordinating Inspired Thoughts stamps are stand-alone products. They do pair nicely together design-wise, and Stampin' Up! gives us a 10% bundle discount this year.
Since both the Inspiring Canopy Dies and Inspired Thoughts cling stamps are classics I can use again and again, year after year, I highly recommend you grab them now while they are at bundle price (through May 2nd and maybe beyond, but we don't yet know what will be in that new Stampin' Up! annual catalog:)
How did I make the beautiful watercolor wash background? It's the "B Side" of one of the Flowering Fields DSP patterns! I used the B Sides of the papers in several cards for the class by mail. Be sure to click the video below for 7 more card ideas for Inspired Thoughts Bundle paired with Flowering Fields DSP.
My Inspired Thoughts Bundle Card Idea could easily be adapted to other occasions by using brighter colors, or leaving it as is and removing the bow and butterfly for a great masculine card–just change out the greeting.
I love versatility in my craft supplies and Inspired Thoughts Bundle has it in spades! Thanks so much for stopping by. Please follow me on YouTube and Facebook for twice weekly live demonstrations and plenty of crafty inspiration!

Such a hard occasion to make for, but a lovely card!
A great card. Thanks for sharing.
Love your card Candy!
Handmade sympathy cards are a true act of kindness but difficult nonetheless. Thanks so much for liking my card!
Thank you, Melva!
Thanks, Diane!
This card is lovely and looks so soothing. Very appropriate for a sympathy card. Thanks Candy for taking part in the Trip Achievers Blog Hop this month.
