There’s something perfect about a clean and simple card. For this card, I used washi tape to create a mask for my stamped flowers. A simple sentiment, some layered cardstock, and a few rhinestones complete the card.

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using our favorite Annual Catalog stamp set. Hands down I love the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. I've had so much fun creating layered floral images. And the sentiments are just about perfect! For this card, I had fun CASEing a great card from Chat Wszelaki @ Me, My Stamps, and I. I changed a few things here and there, but kept the great design. Such a perfect card!
Welcome to the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop for June. This month's blog hop is actually a swap. Various members of the Fun and Crafty Stampers made cards featuring new products from the Annual Catalog and swapped them in the mail. Such amazing cards! I love doing swaps and getting examples using products that I don't have or don't necessarily intend to buy.
For my card, I wanted to feature my newest stamp set, Pop of Petals. I love a good floral image and this one is too cute! The set comes with multiple differently patterned flowers, but I just used one pattern for my card. I picked a few fun colors and coordinated them with a lighter or darker color. From there, I thought the flowers looked a little too plain so I added a background piece of stamped leaves. Much better! I finished the card off with a piece of Wood Texture DSP, a simple sentiment, and some fun Glitter Enamel Dots.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to CASE a card from the wonderful Cathy Autrey. I chose to CASE this fun card from just a few weeks back. I love the look of quilted cards! I've been known to do them for Christmas cards. So I jumped at the chance to CASE Cathy's card using current products. I love the subtle patterns in the Tea Room DSP pack. I picked a few of the single color papers to use for my quilt squares. I love the repeating patterns! From there I added some coordinated ribbon and a simple sentiment.
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using a variety of supplies sent to me by another team member. I received this great collection of elements from the wonderful Cathy Autrey!
And from those elements, I wanted to make a simple card that highlighted the stamped image and gorgeous DSP. I layered the pieces and decided to add a sentiment and an embossed piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock to finish out my card. Love how pretty this one ended up being.
1. Garden Impressions 6x6 DSP 146289 $11.00 -- How gorgeous is this paper? It's even more gorgeous in person! I have already made multiple cards using this paper and an't wait to make even more!

7. Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins 146933 $7.00 -- I love the Tutti-Frutti Sequins featured in the last Occasions Catalog and hoped they would carry-over.

9. Shaded Spruce (Ink 147088 $7.50, Cardstock 146981 $8.50)-- Hands down my favorite new color is this gorgeous green! It is such a rich color! I can't wait to pair it with Rich Razzleberry and Soft Sea Foam and Crushed Curry, and so many other colors.
10. Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon 147016 $8.00 -- How can you say no to velvet ribbon? It's just not done. Must add this to my next order. It's just too luxurious to pass up!
Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create using products from the new catalog. Once I was able to preorder some products, I knew the gorgeous Garden Impressions DSP stack had to be my number one purchase. The patterns are colorful and so versatile. I chose a piece of DSP and die cut this gorgeous floral corner piece as the focal point for my card. From there I simply added a couple pieces of ribbon, a simple sentiment (love this font!), and a few gems. Simple card, but I love it! I love it so much that I featured this at May's stamp club. The ladies picked different color combos and DSP patterns to put their own spin on my card.
