Country Flowers

Hello, and happy Sunday!  I have been quite busy with my huge retired rubber stamp sale over the last couple of days, and I thank all of you who came out and took some of my old treasures off my plate! Today, I want to share a card I made with the "extra" stamp set that Stampin' UP! gave us in the April Paper Pumpkin kit called "All About Everything".

Card base is Blackberry Bliss, followed by Mossy Meadow DSP, and then a piece of Crumb Cake stamped with the Hardwood background stamp using Crumb Cake ink.  I distressed it with my fingernail.  The main flower image is stamped in Rose Red ink and I cut it out and curled the petals outwards.  The smaller flowers are stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.  The flower centers are stamped in Crushed Curry and the stems are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.  I also add a "blue sky" in the background using Soft Sky ink.  The little berry flowers are stamped in Crumb Cake ink and I went back and added some dots of glue using my Fine Tip glue pen and sprinkled a little gold glitter on it.  To finish the card off, and I added some Linen Thread, gold sequins and a strip of Gold Foil paper.  All items used are current.  These darker colors made me think of flowers you would fine out in the woods. Hence the name "Country Flowers" for today's post. :)

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!  Happy Stamping!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

 Hello, crafty friends!  Today, I am sharing a birthday card I made for a friend using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. These large and beautiful flowers are paired with the Lovely Blossoms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. The flowers were stamped using Secret Sea ink onto Basic White cardstock and were then colored with Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends. For fun, I added 1/2" punched circles to the centers of the flowers using retired Night of Navy glossy paper. The sentiment was stamped using Secrete Sea ink and was then cut down with my paper trimmer.  The flowers and sentiment were adhered to my card front using Dimensionals. For the background, I die cut 2 sets of Secrete Sea  cardstock "circle clusters" and adhered them to a rectangle die cut piece of Cloud Cover cardstock followed by 2 pieces of Lovely Blossoms DSP. Next, I added 3 sets of Old Olive die cut leaves around my flowers, a Night of Navy bakers twine bow, and a few white embellishments to finish...
