Hi and welcome! Today’s card features the Varied Vases Photopolymer stamp set and matching Vases Builder Punch.

It is so sweet with those trailing blooms and I’m sure will be received with delight! To get those flowers and vases placed just right, I used a post-it note to cover the designer paper while stamping the flower images.

I followed along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge for the layout which worked perfectly with my idea.

Here’s the list of products used.

Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set [146644] $33.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper [149592] $15.75

Happy Monday to you and welcome! Today’s card is about a day of Love & Joy wether it be a wedding, anniversary or a birthday!

I played around with the Woven Heirlooms Bundle for this (the sentiments in the stamp set are truly beautiful) and added some interest with the Flourish Dies and Highland Heather cardstock.

TIP: I learned when using the Woven Heirlooms dies and 3D embossing folders that you need to cut the shape out first and then place them into the embossing folders. This will give a much deeper pattern impression. They cannot be used at the same time.

Here’s the list of products used for you.

Woven Heirlooms Bundle [151093] $64.75	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146986] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25
Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad [149165] $10.25	Flourish Dies [141478] $39.00	Paper Snips [103579] $13.50	Snail Adhesive [104332] $9.50
Mini Glue Dots [103683] $7.25	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430] $5.50	Fine-Tip Glue Pen [138309] $9.50	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00

Hello there and welcome! Today’s card isn’t tiny but does quote one of the greetings from the Wildly Happy Cling stamp set. This set is the perfect set to create sweet baby cards and I love it!

It fits perfectly with The Paper Players colour challenge to use black and white with one other colour. Well, I added two extra colours because that tiny flower needed leaves for gosh sake!

I took the opportunity to use the Heirloom Frames dies and 3D Embossing folders to set off that lovely mom with her baby too! Love It, now I just need someone to have a baby so I can send it to them!

Here’s the list of products used.

Today’s card is something a little different from my usual style. I did a little stamp spritzing for this one.

So, I inked up the flowers from the A Little Lace cling stamp set and then used the Stampin’ Spritzer on the stamp before applying it to the paper. I used Calypso Coral and Blueberry Bushel inks for this.

TIP: Definitely used Shimmery White cardstock for this technique as it take water well and doesn’t pill.

Then, that imaged need a frame so I used two of the Stitched Rectangle dies to make the Calypso Coral frame and adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To keep the colour the same, I used a piece of Shimmery White to create the card base as well.

Here’s the list of products used.

A Little Lace Cling Stamp Set [149364] $29.00	Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set [146644] $33.00	Blueberry Bushel 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146968] $11.50	Calypso Coral 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [122925] $12.00

HIDDEN FLOWERS

Today’s card uses the Parcels & Petals Bundle again! It’s so easy to use and I created this pretty card with it.

I was checking out Pinterest and found a card that used a die to create an interesting edge so tried it myself. The Seasonal Layers dies have a great scalloped piece and that it was I used to make two separate layers for the card front.

The flower image was stamped onto Whisper White with Highland Heather Ink. Then I added more by “stamping off” so the other blooms would be a softer colour.

Then it was just a matter of picking the perfect greeting and putting the card together. I used a lot of Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Grid Paper for placement of the pieces.

Here’s the list of products used.

Parcels & Petals Bundle [151107] $69.25	Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146986] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad [147103] $10.25

Banner Triple Punch [138292] $31.00	Snail Adhesive [104332] $9.50	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430] $5.50	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!
