Beautiful Bouquet Variety

I love this set for so many reasons.  Beautiful Bouquet comes with so many choices to create some very unique bouquets with so many wonderful sayings.  

For the first card I created, I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, and Flirty Flamingo.  I saw this color combo on a card I saw on Pinterest, and instantly fell in love with it.  It's a fun and springy.  

I even got ambitious and stamped the envelope this time!  The inside also has the flower stamped on it.  

For the second card, I chose a warmer, more Fall color - Pumpkin Pie.  This card showcases a completely different type of bouquet. 

These cards are fun and easy to create.  All you need is a little imagination!  

Happy Stamping! 

Here's what you'll need to create these cards: 

Home to Roost

This is a Sale-a-bration set (free with $50 purchase).  I have enjoyed making a few cards with this set, and for this set I also used the sponges to get it an antiqued look.  

Here's what you'll need: 

Tulip Friendship Card

I love tulips, and I cannot wait for spring!  This card makes me happy.  I love the simple bright color of the Crushed Curry paper & ink, and the saying goes perfectly with this design.  I created the tulips using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and then cut out my sentiment with the Layering Ovals Framelit dies.  

Here's what you'll need to make this card: 

Birthday Bees

I love this bee set!  I have a few of them since I taught at a school with a bee mascot.  I loved to create cards to go along with my classroom theme, so now I am re-purposing these bees and they are coming out so cute as birthday cards.  

I used Detailed with Love for the sentiments and my Stampin' Blend markers to color the bees.  Such a fun card to make!  I'm putting a few of them in my Etsy store, so check out my store HERE.

Simple Stamping

There's a trend right now that calls for "Simple Stamping".  It goes against most crafters nature to simplify so much, but here's my attempt at Simple Stamping.

I started with a Whisper White card base (4.25" x 5.5") and then used the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set to create this image.  There's no layering of paper; no embellishments; nothing!  Just the one piece of card stock and some images....that's it!  It feels light weight to me and I can't say that I'll do this very often, but it was fun to try.   

Here are the materials I used:  

Thanks a Bunch

I just got the set, Beautiful Bouquet, and decided to "think spring" since it's so nice outside this week.  I'm ready for the cold weather to go away, but I fear it will be back before it's all said and done.  Making this card, however, made me think spring, and I love how it turned out.  

I started with a 4.25" x 11" piece of whisper white, scored at 5.5".  This card folds up rather than to the side.  I ran the front part of the card through my Big Shot with the Layering Leaves embossing folder, and then layered Calypso Coral on top.  I stamped several images from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set onto another piece of Whisper White and then layered that on top.  I used Calypso Coral for the flowers and Lovely Lipstick for the accents on the flowers.  The stem was done in Granny Apple Green.  I finished it off with 2 glitter enamel dots to match.  

I stamped the "Thanks a Bunch" with Early Espresso and then did a single flower inside the card.  It was a fairly simple card to make and with this stamp set you have many choices on which flowers you use.  I can't wait to play around some more with this set!  

Think Spring...and Happy Stamping!

Warm Hearted Thanks

These sweet Thank You notes are very easy to make.  I started with the base card in Very Vanilla (4.25" x 5.5") and then layered Cajun Craze card stock.  I used more Very Vanilla and embossed it with the Tin Tile embossing folder (one of my favorites).  Next I used a strip of Cajun Craze (width of embossed layer by 1.25"), and then used the Layering Oval Framelits to create the scalloped edge and oval cut out for the "Thanks".  All the supplies are listed below.  

Please let me know if you'd like to order any of these supplies.  Happy Stamping!!
