I made this (Raspberry Fizz) card last year for a PTI Stamp-a-Faire challenge. I love it so much that I still have it. I haven't been able to part with it! Maybe now that I have one in blue I can let the pink one go:) What I like about it most is that I was able to use a bright color, and a lot of it, in a way that was still very pleasing to me. I usually have a hard time with bright colors. I tend to only like it in small doses, but this card has bright all over it! I decided to make the one in blue using another color that I love, Hawaiian Shores, but can only use in small doses, usually! I love this one as much as the original. I can't wait to see what you have done!
Thanks for hopping by!

What a beautiful card! So lovely! i can understand why you didn't part with it. i love the blue hues - so cool!
I think I missed seeing the original card! Love them both!
Beautiful card, Kara! Love the window and the little hearts on the card front.
Both of these are stunners...
love the colors...
the design and layout...
they're just perfect cards!
And I can't blame you for hanging onto either! :)
Kara,
Both of these are beautiful. I love the layout you made and the sweet little hearts.
WoW! What an awesome card. Love the colors and the design. I can see why ou wouldn't want to part with it.
What beautiful cards, and one of my favorite PTI stamps!
Wow, the original was so pretty, can totally understand why you didn't want to part with it, but I am betting you won't want to let go of the blue version either! We totally thought alike on this challenge, I changed my masculine card into a feminine card too. Very pretty and love those little hearts on it Kara.
Kara both are neautiful. I wouldn't be able to part with either. I absolutely love the Aqua Mist--these a definitely a CASE!
I wouldn't want to part with either of these cards! They are both wonderful, and I agree that they are bright and cheery, without being 'too much'. You are making me wish I had the Love Lives Here set.
Love them both , great stamp , die and colors! Don't blame you for wanting to keep it!
I love what you've done too! It's a great layout, and I love the bright colors ~ a challenge for me too!
Great cards and I love what you did with the Sending You arched die along with some of my favorite stamps!
Fantastic job, Kara! The card stands out so well - it is bright and happy, but still clean & simple. Nicely done!
Your cards are so beautiful! This makes me laugh that you use bright colors in small doses. I feel like I only create with lots of color. These are really fabulous! Love the little window!
Both cards are adorable, Kara. I can see why you would want to keep one (or both!!) Love the way you created the 'window' for the house and the heart details on the card front.
Kara, these are both so cute! I love that you used the sending you die as a window...really great idea that I think I may have to "borrow" ;)
These cards are so sweet! I love the window treatment!
Oh Kara, I can see why you love these cards. They are absolutely stunning. Both great colours.
I do that with some of the cards I make too. I do end up giving them to very special people who I know will appreciate them. Your cards are so pretty.
Great cards, Kara! I love them both!
fantastic as always! So clean and refreshing - yet homespun.
Beautiful, just beautiful! But I am a big fan of pink, so that one is my fav, but they both are just so sweet.
These are the sweetest, Kara...in BOTH color schemes! I just love how the house is tucked in that arch (LOVE that die!)...oh, and the little floating hearts are so adorable!!
Love them both...... and I'd love this design in any colour Kara - its a classic. And of course that die goes straight on my list for February!!
Both are adorable. I know why you want to keep the first...so cute! Isn't the Love Lives Here set just the best ;)
Love both versions! That little house is one of my favorite dies:)
I'm generally the same way when it comes to bright colors, but I agree that you've got a stunner with this design! I also absolutely love the way you've used that Sending You die as a window. Totally lovely! Thank you for sharing!
I don't remember seeing this card. They are both great!
both cards are beautiful.
Your cards are FABULOUS Kara! You are my PTI queen - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what you make with their products! Sorry for being so late on commenting, but I had to work late last night, hugs, Karin
Wow!!! What beautiful cards!! I just love the sweet little house and the hearts are the perfect touch!!! Love!!!
Beautiful cards! The little house is a favorite of mine and looks so cute here.
Love em both Kara. I love the trio of hearts. :)
Beautiful cards- I love both colours.
Your cards are beautiful! I love them in both colors, they are great cards!
Chris L.
I love the bold colors and each one is beautiful! I would understand your unwillingness to part with EITHER of them. Great job!
