Flowering Flourishes and Express Yourself

Hi Everyone! Today's card is all about the beautiful Flowering Flourishes stamp set. So happy this one didn't get retired, unfortunately Express Yourself is.

For some reason my lighting on this card isn't quite right. I took a couple of pictures, but I still couldn't get the colours to come through. They are Island Indigo, and I used a silver foil sheet. 

The Flowering Flourishes is embossed with silver embossing powder, along with the sentiment. And the flowers are from the retired Boho punch (I hate giving up a good punch, especially when I really like it!). You could use any small flower punch that you have. Then finished it off with some rhinestones. 

Hope you like it! 

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Happy Stamping!

Woodland and Papillon Potpourri

Hi Everyone! Today's card is all about butterflies and the amazing new Woodland embossing folder. 

Inspiration for this card came from all the Monarchs migrating to Mexico for the winter. This time of year you will see them crossing the great lakes or at the shores, hiding in trees waiting for great weather to cross. Very magical.

The colours are Soft Sky, Whisper White, and Pumpkin Pie (I also used my sponge dabber with Crumb Cake and just went lightly over the trees, to give them more dimension). All the butterflies are embossed with basic black embossing powder, then coloured them with my blender pen in Pumpkin Pie. Then punched them out using the small butterfly punch. 

I tried to put a greeting/sentiment on the front but it just didn't work. No worries, that's why you have an inside! This card could be used for any occasion really; Birthday, Congratulations, Encouragement, Sympathy, etc.

Thanks for stopping by, and if you have any questions let me know. 

Happy Stamping!

A Bugs and Kisses Birthday

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to say "thanks" for stopping by and visiting my little blog. Hope you like it here and find lots of inspiration and that you come back often! I would love to hear from you, so don't be shy.

Today's card, is using one of my favorite retired sets (I know what you're thinking, that I have a lot of those...well maybe!) Bugs and Kisses. I think it is prefect for little ones. You could always use this layout with another stamp set, it doesn't have to bugs and kisses. I made one similar, you can find it here.

For the insects, I only cut out the blue ones and added dimensionals to them. The colours are Pacific Point and Old Olive. 

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Garden in Bloom Birthday

Hi Everyone! How are we today? Fall has finally hit us this week. It's freezing here, I actually had to turn on the furnace! And everyone's sick!! Moving on...

Today's card is using the stamp set Garden in Bloom with the beautiful Brick Wall embossing folder. Don't you just love fall colours! I used Elegant Eggplant, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Always Artichoke (the bee is Crushed Curry).

I cut out all the flowers and added some dimensionals to them. The Cherry Cobbler one has 2 dimensionals on top of one another, while the other flowers only got one. I wanted that flower to stand out a little more so that the other ones could fit under (make sense?).

For the brick wall I took my sponge dabber with crumb cake and lightly rubbed across the bricks. I didn't want too much colour on them, just enough to give it some dimension. Hope you like it!

The Open Sea meets Happy Everything!

Hi everyone! Today's card is all about soft sky and crumb cake. I absolutely just love these two colours together! I mean just look at them!

I stamped the anchor in crumb cake and cut it out. It didn't take long. Then I wrapped some baker's twine around it and popped it up with dimensionals. Actually, I used dimensionals on everything!

I know the stamp set Happy Everything has been retired for some time now, but I really love the font they used. It just makes you feel happy! You certainly could use this card for any occasion. Whatever makes you happy (yep, pun intended)! Plus we all have our favorite stamp sets that we just can't part with, no matter how long they have been retired. It's good to get them out every once in awhile!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Flower for all Seasons

Hi Everyone! Today's card is another one using the Brick Wall embossing folder. I love it! So much fun to mix all the colours together. This time I paired it with one of my favorite stamp sets, A Flower for all Seasons. It has been retired for some time now, but I just love it. I mean, just look at that little lady bug! Too cute!

I made the curtains by embossing another piece of vellum using a striped embossing folder, which I put under the vellum that I attached to the window frame (make sense?) and behind that is a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock because I didn't want the brick showing through.

I used dimensionals for the window frame and the flower pots, I didn't want everything to be flat. It adds more character this way. I wanted to add the sentiment to the outside, but nothing looked right. So, I just stamped the inside of the card!

I hope you like it.
