This idea uses the Flower Shop stamp set. First I stamped the Melon Mambo card base with one of the flower stamps. Then stamp the flowers, used an aqua painter to create a pool of color, and then stamped over the images with the stamp. The background is Shimmery White (which does fine with water) and the punch is the Elegant Butterfly. Then I sprayed the entire card with some home made shimmer spray. I suggest spraying the stamped part and then putting the card together! Hugs, Fran
My friend Mary Ann brought me a stack of glossy card stock! So we had a little play 🙂 This is the basic resist technique – stamp the images with Versamark and brayer ink over the entire surface. Gently wipe off the excess ink and you’re done! I added a little butterfly and sentiment, die cut it out with a stitched rectangle and put it on a mat and card base. Easy – and fun! Thanks, Mary Ann! Hugs, Fran
Pick a flower (card!) Both of these cards use Flower Shop and the same colors. One background is embossed with the Honeycomb embossing folder and the other
uses a stencil and Soft Sky ink to create the background. Which one do you like better?

I’ve been asked to join the Creative Circle Design Team – focusing on lovely 3-D creations and Stampin UP products. If you’ve just come from Barb’s post, you’re int he right place! This month’s template is a “murse” – or a man’s purse. You can get your own copy of the template at the end of this post. It’s an SVG file designed by Liz Holloway and I was able to cut it out on my Eclips. (or you can print and cut!) I chose the Go Wild and Cherry on Top Designer Series paper to make my card holder and cards.
For my closure, I staggered 3 front panels (Go Wild, Tip Top Taupe and Basic Black) and added a closure “button” using Awesomely Artistic.
I used Antique Brads on the handle to help it swing out of the way.
This card uses Flower Shop and Go Wild DSP on a Heavy White base. The leaves are the Bird punch.
This card features the Bold Butterfly die.
And last, but not least, Awesomely Artistic and some Irresistibly Yours DSP. Hope you’ve enjoyed these samples. Hop on over to Liz Holloway’s blog to see more fun ways to use this template. Hugs, Fran
