Color Coordinates: Sweet Pea
Happy Friday everyone!! It’s Shari here with a Color Coordinates recipe for you that is perfect for Spring, or in my case… my Valentines notes to my manly family.
I’ve chosen muted tones of ink that go well together such as Apricot, Duckling, Willow, and Lake Shores. As my fifth color, I’ve used Desert Storm cardstock.
I’ve created tags by die cutting white cardstock using the Large Tag die to put onto small notecards for my menfolk. To get these started, I colored panels of white cardstock with the inks using an ink blending tool.
Once I had my panels colored, I use the Clipping Heart Die to cut out my hearts. This die is perfect for these tags because of all the different sizes of hearts in just one die.
I stamped a greeting from the Love and Quotes stamp set on each tag using Intense Black ink and then assembled the colored hearts around the greeting.
Once my tags were stamped and assembled, I added a twine bow to the tops and mounted them to a 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ notecard made from Desert Storm cardstock.
I’ve filmed a video to show you how these came together. You can view it below or on our YouTube channel HERE. I hope you enjoy!!

I love the Color Coordinates! One of my favorites that Simon does. This has to be my favorite Color Coordinates out of all of them because I as well have boys, 2 of them. They are grown and out of the house, miss them since they are both 8 hours away and living in the same city. My oldest is married, so now I have a daughter! Thanks for doing these color coordinates, love them :) . And I love the cards too, so pretty! Thanks for sharing.
These are so cute!
DELIGHTFUL colours and cards!

So sweet, LOVE your colour combo :)
I love everything about these notecards!They are awesome!
So simple yet so sweet! Great colors that are not “mushy” or girlie.
These are wonderful! I have all boys at my house, too, and it’s tricky to find the right colours for cards like this. I would love to borrow your idea to make some cards for our local military garrison. They sent me a request for cards and these would be great cards for them to use. Thanks Shari!
