Consider it Cased 50



Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

Here's a sneak peak of the new stamp set on the Summer Mini- Fabulous Florets and my inspiration came from Carrie's ( Carrie's Scrapyard) ) and her design is just beautiful.  I did changed a bit and
I just used the Poppy Parade paper, stamped the image and did some cutting.
I used the scallop edge punch for a nice border on both sides and really loved the effect of it. Unfortunately in order to do this border, you have to used the old scallop edge punch.
Thanks Carrie for this wonderful opportunity to cased you.
Hop over to jean's blog ( Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see who she cased.

Stamps:  Fabulous Florets
Paper:  Poppy Parade, crumb Cake, Whisper White, Basic Black, Blushing Bride
Ink:  Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz

Heartfelt Thanks




Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Friday !!!

Need something bright and cheery?  This is the card- using Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.  I used the Petal Blossoms punch and the stamp set.
I did the easy way to make the petals- I cut them  first and then stamp the petals in White Craft ink. I just love the effect of the white on the Poppy Parade paper. The leaves I decided to cut by hand and it worked really well for me. Hope you like it.

Stamps:  Build a Blossom, Hodgepodge Happiness
Paper:  Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink:  White Craft ink, Pear Pizzazz

Stampin' Up Hodgepodge Happiness



Hello Peeps !!!

happy Saturday !!!

I was totally inspired by this beautiful tulips card that I found on Susan's blog ( Stampin' Mom of Four).
She had made it look so easy that I have to try it myself. I did make a few changes and only used 3 petals from the Blossoms Petal punch, just did the stem and kept the leaves the same as the tulip petals. I used Versamark pen to create the leaf lines and used it on the petals, too. I then added a spritz of Peac parfait after. Hope you like it.
