Country Flowers Tent Card

I just adored this card, inspired by fellow demonstrator Claire Ottaway from the UK. I had to update the measurements to make it easy to replicate here in the US but that was pretty easy...

To get a better idea of the "tent" design, here's a slight side view: 

And I guess I should have taken another photo more from the side so that you can see how the bouquet of flowers 'hangs' on the panel inside the tent fold! And also not very visible is that I placed an embossed  piece (embossed using the Brick and Mortar Embossing Folder) on the inside back of the hanging panel. Minor touches but nice to do with a special hand made card! Oh and there's a panel on the back with the flower bouquet stamped in the corner where I can write a personal message to the recipient.

Thanks for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Mixed Media Florals Memories and More Cards

Oh my, I almost missed the boat on this one. And why I say this is because many of the floral prints in this set include some gorgeous watercolored tulips.  Where I live in the Pacific Northwest, we are at the last weeks of tulip season. But if you live further north or at higher elevations, your tulips likely haven’t opened yet! So I’ll still share these! LOL

I’ve only bought the Memories and More card packs a few times but I might be sold on them from now on! They sure facilitate making cards quickly and easily! I took these on a 2 day trailer camping trip recently and only had white card stock card bases and a handful of miscellaneous embossed white card stock panels. I’ll share those first and then I’ll share the ones I made at home with just a few more supplies (most notably colored card stock bases!).

I didn't get the stamp set or dies so these were all made from the cards in the set, and some added sentiments and labels. It's one of those things where, once you get going with them, it's so quick to make a bunch of cards! Loved the stickers included in the set too!

Thanks for stopping by...hope you got some ideas and feel inspired!

Happy Spring Lily card Paper Pumpkin March 2023 Ten Years Of Growth

I hope I got the Paper Pumpkin edition correct...it's been a while! Lilies do bloom during the summer too but in the spring, they are the bright happy sign of warmer sun and bluer skies! If you’re lucky enough to live in an area with the most sunshine days, perhaps this has less meaning but in the Pacific Northwest where the skies are gray and it’s rainy most days of the late fall, winter and early/mid spring…blossoms are so cheery and a welcome sign of spring!

I’m not much of a coloring in person but I’ve been trying to get over that! Alcohol markers are so popular so I’ve been buying a few at a time to have enough colors to be practical. Thought these turned out okay! LOL. The sentiment is a combinations of separate word stamps, the top and bottom ones are from the Birthday Wishes set - one of the very first photo polymer stamp sets I bought! The Spring sentiment is from the same March 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit stamp set.

The label for the sentiment is from the Mixed Labels Dies -- love the dot and dash design along the label's edge! And the embossed mat is one of the embossing folders from the Meadow Moments folder set (it came with 2 embossing folders). 

Thanks for stopping by...hope this inspired to you create something today too!

3x3’s Translucent Florals - Delightful Florals DSP

Here’s the latest in the line of 3x3” cards….this time using the DSP called Delightful Florals which is the corresponding printed paper pack for the Translucent Florals stamp and dies set. I didn’t have the actual stamp or die set for this DSP, however, the paper is so beautiful… I didn’t miss it! I decided to punch a 1.75” circle for the focal and layer it with another punch as a mat layer and finally, on a smaller print from the same DSP pack.

Here are closeups of each: 

I added my usual embellishments of a mini butterfly and mini pearls! I just adore how a touch of gold and pearls elevates and "finishes" the little cards. 

Thanks for stopping by! Hope these little cards have inspired you to create too...
