Sunflowers!

Hi Everyone! Now that Spring is sort of here (it's freezing today!), the Magnolia trees are in bloom, my little cherry tree has buds on it and the birds are back. So, I think Spring is here!

Since Spring is on my mind, that means so are my flowers and my gardens. I can't wait to get planting!

Which brings me to the Botanical Builder Framelits set. I knew I wanted to make some Sunflowers with this amazing set. You can make any type of flowers with them. Your imagination is the limit! (Last week I made Forget-Me-Nots!)

 So bright and cheery!

Timeless Elegance

Hi Everyone! The other day, that wonderful big brown truck showed up with a wonderful brown box just for me! You know what I'm talking about... the UPS truck! I love it when that happens!

So, I ordered some DSP (I should have order more!) and other things of course.  I finally got the Timeless Elegance DSP paper. Wow! It sure is beautiful! I wonder what took me so long in ordering it. 

The DSP comes in Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Sahara Sand. It is just beautiful!

I took my sponge dauber and some Real Red ink and sponged in the flowers. I just love how it turned out! I also sponged around the edges in Real Red.

I think this would make a gorgeous Anniversary, Wedding, or even a Birthday card.

Summer Anniversaries!

Hi Everyone! Did you miss me!? I know I haven't posted anything in a long time, truth be told, I haven't been in my craftroom in a long time! I finally got one card done the other day! Just one! I have many more to make, because August (hard to believe we are already at the end of July!) seems to have lots of Wedding Anniversaries in it. Here is the one I came up with the other day.

 

I love looking at summer gardens, they are so full of colour. The inspiration for this card is from a garden full of Petunias. They were so beautiful, and I wanted to capture it forever.

Gently Falling!

Hi Everyone! Today's, card is a 'Thinking of You' card. However, since I didn't put a greeting on the front, you could make it for whatever occasion you want.

I absolutely love the Gently Falling stamp set. It reminds me so much of Fall/Autumn here in Canada. It is so beautiful when the leaves change colours. I know what you're thinking, its finally really nice weather and I'm thinking about Fall - stop that! Back to the card.

If you don't have this set, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, it is retiring! Well worth your money to invest in this one. You get 12 stamps in the set. Outline of 4 leaves, Middle of 4 leaves, plus outline and middle of an acorn, and outline and middle of the Maple Leaf seeds (we call them helicopters).

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White

 

Ink: Old Olive

Anniversary

Hi Everyone! Today's, card is an Anniversary card. I have had this stamp set forever! I just can't part with it. You know, that stamp set that has been retired for about 10 years, but you love it so much, you don't want to get rid of it. That's this one for me!

The card is going to a family member who is celebrating their 17th wedding Anniversary. Her main flower was the sunflower, so I thought this would be fitting for the occasion.

This stamp set has 4 different flowers, 1 for each season. I coloured it in using my blender pen, but now that Stampin' Up! has 'Blendabilities Markers' they would be prefect for this stamp set!

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Best of Butterflies

Hi Everyone! Today's, card is a wedding card. One of my friends is getting married this Saturday! Exciting isn't it! I wanted something elegant for them. I had made another card, but I like this one much better. I hope they do too!

This Butterfly is from the stamp set "Best of Butterflies" unfortunately you can't get it any more. Absolutely one of my favorite butterflies! However, we have another really great butterfly set called Papillon (butterfly in French) Potpourri. It comes with 7 stamps, 3 large butterflies, 3 small butterflies and antennae. Stampin' Up! also made 2 punches that coordinate with both sizes of Butterflies (no cutting them out!). Totally awesome!

This is the first time I have used the Banner stamp set. Trust me, it took a LONG time to figure out where I wanted it to go, or even if I was going to use it! You see, I'm not one for banners of any kind!

Spring Flowers 3

Hi Everyone! I guess this week is going to be about Spring Flowers! It certainly was not planned!

The inspiration for today's card came from a humming bird feeder and my love of "forget me not" flowers. Let me start at the beginning! For Christmas, my wonderful neighbour gave me a humming bird feeder. I couldn't wait for Spring, so I could put it out. That day finally came about 2 weeks ago, but I hadn't even seen one humming bird! Just today, sitting in my backyard, one flew by! So exciting! As I was sitting there, thanking God for the wonderful surprise, the idea came for the design of this card.

For this card, I changed the orientation. You do not flip this one up to open it, you open from the right hand side. Also, I only wanted a little bit of the green matting to show, so the blue would be more dominant.

So what do you think? Does it look like "forget me not's"?

Gorgeous Grunge meets Simply Stars and Flower Shop

Today I have for you something a little different. I wanted to show you, that you could use the same background, but just change the main stamp set and you get a completely different card. Know what I mean? Good thing I have photos!

 

See what I mean now? (I probably should have changed one of the greetings. Oops! Anyway, hopefully you get the idea).
