Southern Serenade Thank You

The stamp set, Southern Serenade, is retiring in a few short weeks.  It's truly been one of my go-to sets, so I pulled it out to give it another work out before it retires.  For today's card, I started with a piece of Poppy Parade card stock.  Using the lacey image from the stamp set, I stamped it all over the card stock also in Poppy Parade.

Using a piece of Shimmery White card stock, I stamped the floral image in Staz-On.  Then I water-colored the image using the Aqua Painter and Poppy Parade and Call Me Clover inks.  I cut out the flower using Paper Snips.  The sentiment was stamped in Staz On on Whisper White card stock.  All panels were cut out using the stitched rectangle dies.

Daisy Delight Meets Beauty Abounds

I paired the Daisy Delight stamp set with the Beauty Abounds stamp set to create this trio of cards that can be personalized for any occasion with just one additional stamp.

I created the color spray using the bubbles and splatter stamps from Beauty Abounds in each of the colors.  Then I stamped the long floral spray from the same stamp set in Tuxedo Black.  Next, I stamped the daisy image in the same color on scrap paper and punched out two of each flower.  I stamped the center in Tuxedo Black and adhered the two flowers together with a Mini Glue Dot.  I curled the flowers with the bone folder.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment on each card and attached the daisy flower with Dimensionals.  

Here is a closer look at each of the colors:

Calypso Coral

Mango Melody

Flirty Flamingo

Falling Flowers Mother's Day

I may have been late to the game with the Falling Flowers stamp set, but in it's last few weeks in the Stampin' Up! catalog, I'm making up for lost time.  I used the images in the stamp set to create a couple of Mother's Day cards.  The cards are the same, but the color combinations are different.  I like them both, but would love to hear which one your prefer.

The sentiment is from the April Paper Pumpkin kit.  The die is from the Jar of Sweets dies in the Occasions Catalog.

Coastal Cabana / Calypso Coral

The ribbon is a plain white ribbon colored with a dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker.  It's a great match!

Gray Granite / Daffodil Delight 

There you have it.  Which color combo do you like better?

Forever Lovely

The new annual pre order for demonstrators is coming up later this week, but I'm not done picking up my favorites from the Occasions Catalog!  I got a new bundle in last week, so I sat down and made a couple of cards to share with you.

The bundle is called Forever Lovely.  It is in the front of the catalog and was really shown as part of Valentine's Day.  The 2 cards I'm sharing today are definitely NOT Valentine's Day. One is intended as a Mother's Day card and the other is intended as a wedding card.  Take a look.

This is the card that I think would make a great Mother's Day card.  I stamped the floral images in Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Old Olive.  The image panel is adhered to a partial sheet of the the Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper that has been embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.  I punched around the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch.  A few Frosted and Clear Epoxy Elements were added to the front to complete the card.

For the wedding card, I used a panel of Whisper White card stock the floral spray die to create a border.  Next, I layered a panel of Crumb Cake that was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.  The sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases.  I added a piece of 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon in Silver.

The supply lists to create these cards are shown below:
