Flower Shop 05

This is one of the card I’ll be swapping at the Catalog Preview night on Monday.  It uses Flower Shop and Papillon Potpourri.  I used the Fan embossing folder to emboss the Whisper White ans Wisteria Wonder cardstock together.  There are two stories behind this card – I was going to use smaller pearls on the butterflies, but it seems I have lots and lots of the larger size pearls left, so I used them and they look great!  Since I was making multiples of this card and each card has six branches/leaves, I used MDS and my ecutter to cut 40 leaves at a time.  Just a little background note!

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Flower Shop, Papillon Potpourri, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card stock – Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizzazz
Ink – Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant
Etc – Fan embossing folder, Pansy punch, Bird punch, butterfly punch, pearls, Scallop edge punch, Word Window punch

We are suppose to have a beautiful day today (and tomorrow!)  I’m hoping to get some planting done – and maybe even cook out tonight.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Hugs, Fran

I saw a card that I loved and re-did it using Stampin Up products!  This uses Mixed Bunch stamped on the background in Versamark and embossed in White.  For the flower, I embossed some Crumb Cake with the Distressed Dots folder and punched out some flowers (Blossom and pansy punches)  Then I added Linen Thread and some rhinestones colored with a Copic marker.  The XOXO is from the Circle Thinlit flip die.

Card stock – Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink – Versamark
Etc – Blossom and Pansy punches, white embossing powder, Circle Thinlit flip die, rhinestones, Neutral Button, Linen Thread, Distressed Dots embossing folder, scallop edge punch

April Paper Pumpkin

I put together this month’s Paper Pumpkin.  It’s a framed stamped art piece with a wrapper and tags for gift giving.  The one thing I changed is leaving the glass on the frame and adhering the heart and button to the glass.  (Did that make sense?)  The kit calls for leaving the glass off – but I like the finished look with the glass on. 

Very cute and can easily be changed if you want a different color or theme!  An now you can buy a subscription to Paper Pumpkin!  Check out

I’ve got several retiring set cards that I want to show you before the curtain goes down on these wonderful stamp sets.   This Field Flower card has several layers on the flowers and lots of Dazzling Details.  I should have taken a picture from the side – but each flower is stamped twice and cut apart.  The flowers are done in Crumb Cake and when I added the Dazzling Details the color became almost golden.

Supplies
Stamp Set – Field Flowers
Cardstock – Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Neutral DSP
Ink – Always Artichoke, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
Etc – Lace ribbon, Dazzling Details

Here are this week’s deals – and don’t forget Free Shipping through the 25th!  Hugs, Fran

It’s all retiring!  Yikes!  This card was inspired by one I saw on Splitcoast.  I used the same layout but changed the stamps and used the Framelits to die cut.  The other card had a beautiful tulip watercolored onto the front of the card.  The deep, side punch is a Martha Stewart punch that I used for a wedding invitation a year or two ago.

Cardstock – Whisper White
Ink – Jet Black Stazon

This is a card we did yesterday at my birthday stamp a stack.  The biggest question was “where did the scalloped circle come from.”  It’s from the pennant die.  This card is a case of a card from last year with a few changes – the colors and dsp of course, the flags on the side using the cute little banner punch – and I rounded the corners using the Envelope Punch Board!  I it when tools make my life easier!

Supplies
Stamp Set – Embellished Event
Card Stock – Very Vanilla, Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, Birthday Basics DSP
Stampin Write Markers – Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit
Etc – Pennant die, small banner punch, pearls, Envelope Punch Board, Boho Blossoms punch

It’s fun to re-do an old design!  Hugs, Fran
