Jar of Flowers Birthday

Hello friends,

Over the weekend I asked on my Facebook page which of 4 stamp sets I should use for my next card.  Between your messages and comments, Jar of Flowers was the choice.  The card I'm sharing today is my take on a make & take from a recent online workshop. 



The Jar of Flowers bundle will be July's workshop by mail.  Watch for details coming soon!

Hippo Happiness Birthday

Hi there stampers!

The Hippo Happiness bundle from the annual catalog caught my eye, not for the adorable Hippo Happiness stamp set, but rather for the amazing Hippo & Friends dies.  I used both for a recent birthday card.


The card base is Purple Posy.  I used a piece of Playing With Patterns Designer Series paper for the background.  The stamped images and Purple Posy background are two of the shapes from the Hippo & Friends dies.  The images are stamped in Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, and Highland Heather (stamped off once).  I finished off my card with a bow from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack. 

If you haven't taken a good look at Hippo Happiness, you may want to go back and do so!

 I recently took part in a small swap.  Today I'm sharing the sweet card I made for the swap.  


To a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, I adhered two pieces of Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper.  Using the small piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the sentiment and 2 flowers in Misty Moonlight.  And that's it!  This super cute layout is easily adapted for any occasion.

Happy Father's Day

Hello crafty people!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there - and to all that love them!  I hope it's been a great weekend for all of you! 

The Best Year bundle in the annual catalog is one of my favorites.  It consists of the Best Year stamp set and the so fun Best Plaid Builder dies.  I used it for this great Father's Day card.


The possibilities with this bundle are endless!

Prized Peony

Hello friends,

The Peony Garden product suite is another not-to-be-missed suite in the annual catalog.  The stamped images are beautiful.  The suite also includes Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, Square Vellum Doilies, Elegant Faceted Gems,  Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon, and the Peony Dies.


I created three different cards using a variety of products from the suite.


For this card, I started by inking up the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and embossing a piece of Whisper White card stock.  That panel was adhered to a piece of Gray Granite card stock.  The middle accent panel was cut out with the Peony Dies and the sentiment was stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed using White Embossing Powder.  I stamped the floral image in Gray Granite ink and cut it out using the coordinating die.  It was attached to the card front with Dimensionals.  Finally, I sprinkled some Elegant Faceted Gems to the card.


For this card, I used 2 pieces of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.  The main floral paper was cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The sentiment is stamped in Gray Granite on a piece of Whisper White card stock, cut out with the Stitched Nested Label Dies, and attached with Dimensionals.  I added a bow from the 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon and completed the card by adding Elegant Faceted Gems.


For my last card, I created the background with a strip of Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and a piece of Whisper White card stock that was embossed with the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.  I added a single strand of Gold metallic trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.  The peony image was stamped in Petal Pink ink, cut out with the corresponding Peony Die, and attached to the card front with Dimensionals.  The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite and cut out using the Tasteful Label Dies.  Some Elegant Faceted Gems complete the card.
