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.

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.
