Rococo Petals

Today’s card features the new In Color Rococo Rose. This is a nice dusty pink. I modeled this card off of a few examples I found on Pinterest. I love the piece of embossed cardstock layered on the same color card base. It creates texture without a lot of work. From there, I stamped, punched, and layered some flowers and leaves. Love how this card came together.

Posy Butterflies

Today’s card starts my series featuring the new 2019-2021 In Colors. I love them as a set, but wanted to highlight each color on its own. First up is Purple Posy. This light purple pairs nicely with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. For my card, I pulled a piece of retired DSP featuring Highland Heather and a piece of new In Color DSP as a background. I then added a nice pearlized doily and stamped and punched butterflies.

Last Birthday Card of March

Today’s card is a CASE from Amy Koenders @ Stamp with Amy K. One last birthday card for this March! I can’t believe I actually made 30 different birthday cards throughout this month. Whew! I am a bit tired of card making at the moment, but don’t worry, I’ll get back into card making very soon. For this card, I loved the example card so much that I just made my own. It’s so bright and shiny in real life. Love it!

Floral Tag

Today’s card is a CASE from Charlet Mallett @ Painted Orange. I loved her take on layering pattern and texture. Of course I put my own spin on her card and used a piece of scrap DSP from the retired Delightful Daisy pack. And I used a few retired flower charms sitting in my bling stash.

Chosen Floral

Today’s card is a CASE from Connie Stewart. The Garden Impressions DSP pack has to by my most used pack this catalog. Just love all the patterns and colors. I knew I had to use it for this card, so I pulled my other elements to coordinate. If you look closely you can scored lines framing the DSP strip. As a last touch, I added a fun glittery enamel shape to my flower.

Birthday Stripes

Today’s card was featured at August's stamp club meeting. I wanted to do a simple birthday card featuring some great DSP. And I came up with this card! I started by cutting and arranging strips of the Broadway Bound DSP. From there I added a few layers and a sentiment. The finishing touch was a heat embossing punched butterfly from the Pop of Petals Stamp Set.

Fun n' Crafty Blog Hop July 2018

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. 

• Stamps: Abstract Impressions; Pop of Petals
• Inks: Sea Foam Green; Call Me Clover; Bermuda Bay; Coastal Cabana; Highland Heather; Gorgeous Grape; Flirty Flamingo; Lovely Lipstick
• Cardstock: Wood Textures DSP; Whisper White
• Accessories: Glitter Enamel Dots

Pop of Petals Bundle

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card using your favorite bundle. Once getting the new catalog, the Pop of Petals bundle went on my short list. I love a good flower image and this one even comes with a simple punch. Perfect! I actually CASEd this design from fellow Design Team Member Rebecca Urban. I loved her graduated flowers and wanted to play off that idea for my own card. Such a great idea! And such a great bundle! I can't wait to play with it even more.
