BRIGHT FLOWERS FOR A RAINY DAY

May 22, 2020

It’s definitely spring up here with all of the green leaves, lawns and budding flowers! However, it is a rainy day and this card helps to brighten things up!

Two of my favourite colours, green and yellow with a bright pop of red added! I kept with the package of Garden Lane designer paper(using up the scraps) for the background and relaxed by colouring that lovely bouquet with our Stampin’ Blends. This bouquet is from the new Jar of Flowers stamp set and I’m pretty sure that I will be using it a lot.

The retiring products are still available right up to June 2, 2020 so make sure to check them all out. Here’s the link to my Website.

Hello and welcome! Today’s post uses some “old” products and one new product!

By “old” I mean the two stamp sets used for this card – But – the silver lining is that they will be moving to the “new” catalogue! I used the fabulous Good Morning Magnolia Bundle(151087) (save 10%) paired up with Itty Bitty Greetings!

Since the Garden Lane designer paper is such lovely, soft greens, I decided to colour the flowers in green too. I love the softness contrasted with the dark green frame. (New Many Medallions dies)

Birthday

Birthdays are blooming here along with the flowers! I’m also happy to report that the trees are budding and showing a light touch of green! A good sign that spring is arriving here in northeastern BC, Canada!

So, to celebrate both a birthday and blooming flowers, I created this card!

Soft Sea Foam was the perfect choice to echo the soft green leaves that are budding around us. I also choose to use soft colours for the flowers and added a touch of bling with our Rhinestone basic jewels.

This very clean and simple layout comes from the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

Sometimes clean and simple is best so the focus will stand out just a little more. Especially when using soft, light colours!

Here’s the product list for you.

Bloom & Grow Photopolymer Stamp Set [149229] $33.00	Special Someone Photopolymer Stamp Set [151643] $22.00	Soft Sea Foam 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146988] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25

“All days are beautiful that begin with you”! This is the sentinment that I put on today’s card!

This simple message is to celebrate all of the women in our lives that support, protect and love us! The whole idea for this card came from a combination of three challenges that I’m playing along with. I don’t usually combine several challenges, but I wanted to keep things clean and simple and these three helped to make that happen.

The Paper Players Colour Challenge,

The SUO Challenge to celebrate women and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I only took two stamp sets, lol, Floral Essence stamp set provided the sentiment and Butterfly Gala stamp set and matching punch provided that tiny butterfly!

Here’s the list of products used.

Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set [149450] $22.00	Butterfly Gala Photopolymer Stamp Set [148580] $27.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Melon Mambo 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [115320] $12.00

Are you ready for one more dinosaur? I CASED today’s card from page 99 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue.

So darn cute, don’t you think? When I was making this card, I was thinking that it could be used for more than a baby announcement. How about a congratulations for a graduate that will be going on to further their education?! A touch of whimsy that will put a big smile on their face I’m sure!

I’m giggling while posting this cute friend card today. After all, who doesn’t like dinosaurs!

This really cute Dino Days Bundle(151139) is available right now as a bundle. It is going to the new 2020-2021 Catalogue but the stamp set and dies will be sold separately so if you get it now you will save 10%!

CAS(E) this sketch posted this great layout to follow which is where I got the idea for this card.

Of course, the Dinoroar designer paper is going away so I just had to use a couple of designs. It’s also a great way to use up the scraps in the package!

WHAT THE BIRDS SAY……….

What are the birds saying with their lovely songs? I don’t know but I sure do love listening to them sing! So, I was inspired to create this card with the Free As A Bird(149468) stamp set.

Of course, the card isn’t complete with a piece of the coordinating Bird Ballad designer paper(149592)! It’s going away soon so make sure to get it to add to your collection!

I did some masking on the stamp in order to get that pretty trio of singing birds. Just use a couple of pieces of scotch tape to cover up the parts of the image that you don’t want showing. Make sure to remove the tape before stamping!

Here’s the product list for you.

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!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out.
