With gentle Spring right around the corner, why not welcome her in with a pastel floral “hello” card! It’s time to play with The Paper Players!
This week is Color Challenge week at The Paper Players and the fabulous Jaydee has a fun palette of hues for us: Pastels! While I went with flowers and created a pastel floral hello card, I can’t wait to see what YOU create!
Colors of the Day
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tip
Today’s pastel floral hello card is another easy-peasy beauty. With the pastel hues I used, I wanted to keep the floral aspects delicate and feminine. Linked Together dies provided me with exactly what I needed. The trellis was die cut from Basic White cardstock and matted onto Fresh Freesia Beautiful Bokeh designer paper. This panel was bumped up on dimensionals and centered onto a Basic White card base which had been covered in Balmy Blue bokeh paper. Soft Sea Foam leaves were die cut from Wildflower Birthday designer paper and adhered to the trellis. Next, Balmy Blue cardstock flowers were die cut and added in the positions shown, using dimensionals for two of them. A simple “hello” sentiment was created with the Wonderful Thoughts bundle. For the final touch, Two Tone Sparkle Gems add the perfect bling!

Nueve’s Notes
Hi, Mom’s Friends! It’s me, Nueve. I’m checking in with some updates. It will be two weeks this Tuesday since I got hurt. I am still not sure what a week is, but I still think it is close to being forever. I am trying to be a good boy even though I can’t run or play or do fun things. As hard as I am trying, sometimes I just am not quite good enough. Yesterday, when Mom went downstairs to the stamping room to get supplies to make a card, she left me by myself. She aways lets me go down to the stampin’ place ’cause I am a BIG help to her, but this time she didn’t. I was so worried about her that I jumped up on the couch so I could see out the window better. I thought maybe she had went outside instead. I am not supposed to do any jumping, and I know I am not supposed to be on the couch, but I did it out of concern for Mom. When Mom came upstairs after a few minutes, she gave me a big lecture and asked me if I wanted “sugary”. I like sweet things, so I don’t think sugary would be too bad. I thought she was going to get me some ice cream, but instead she put the baby fence in front of the couch so I wouldn’t jump on it again. I even tried pouting and looking sad. But it didn’t work. I still didn’t get anything sweet. Moms should never ask their kids if they want something, and then not give it!
On the bright side, Mom is trying to make my days better. She let me take a nap with Uncle Q, ’cause he is gentle with me. We laid right at Mom’s feet while she did stamping stuff. He’s getting Arthur-itis in his back, so he likes snuggling next to me. I keep his back warm. It’s one of my jobs.
‘Cause my leg is still a little ouchie, I like to curl up with my unicorn on my special bed. It’s a little bit off the floor, so it feels like I am floating in the air. Sadly, both of my unicorns will not fit on it with me at the same time. I use my pink one like a pillow, but I make sure that my white is still right beside me on the floor. I carry my white one around the house, ’cause he likes to go where I go.
Thanks to Mom’s stamping friend, Auntie Berta, I have ‘propriate toys and special treats to keep my mind busy. This is my favorite. I take the white bones out with my teeth and there are TREATS below them. Then I flip up the lids on the red boxes with my nose and there are TREATS! Next, I slide the red boxes and below them are TREATS! Mom makes sure I get diet treats, ’cause Doc Rita said I am ‘spose to stay thin while my leg heals.
Auntie is very wise. She knows a Working Dog needs a job to be happy. My job these days is solving my puzzles. I am a Working Dog. I am Good Boy Nueve!

The Bokeh paper adds an extra level of softness to your design and I love the look of the trellis you created. Somehow, I’ve overlooked those dies for sure! The simple spray of flowers finishes off the card prettily.
A really beutiful Spring card with pastel colors. Many thanks for updating us about Nueve. Love him and sure wish him well.
Very pretty card
Hang in there Nueve, I know how feel but for me my right arm not suppose to use it for 6 weeks.
Sure puts a damper on our life style🤗🐾
I love your card, Ann! Great use of color-the Balmy looks pretty on the Freesia. The flowers look like they’re growing up a lattice fence. Clever!
Good to hear from Nueve, too! I hope he’s making progress on getting better.
Poor guy! His games look like fun & I’m glad he has Uncle Q to snuggle with when Mom is busy! Have a great week!! Huggs from Florida!
Ann I just love this card! The soft colours and subtle pattern to the papers make for a really lovely finish and the trellis is the perfect backdrop for your blue climber. I know it’s not CAS week, but this is a not only a pastel stunner but CAS perfection too!
Well now, that really is stunning! Thanks for sharing. Hugs to all.
