FABULOUS FLOWERS

Happy Monday to you! I’m starting the week off with some fabulous flowers that are very bright and cheerful!

Yep, they’re bright alright! I got this inspiration from our flower garden this weekend. With all of the rain we’ve been getting, not only did the flowers grow but the weeds loved it too! Once they were taken care of, I was able to see all of my fabulous flowers!

I used the Poppy Moments dies((151594) and added that fabulous greeting from the Many Mates stamp set(152633). The variegated colour on the greeting was a happy accident achieved by carefully placing the stamp on an angle and easing off on the pressure as it was stamped. It adds just the right touch!

Here’s the list of products used.

Christmas

6 Comments

Yes, I did! I’m posting the very first Christmas card of 2020 from my stamp room!

The Toile Christmas stamp set(150469) made it into the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue, so why not get started early? Especially since this has been a “topsy-turvy” year, who says one can’t think of Christmas in the month of July?!

Did you also notice the Toile Tidings designer paper? It was carried over to the August-December Mini Catalogue so I pulled out a piece for this card as well.

The card layout is simple to show off that beautiful cardinal and to follow along with the new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

Here’s the list of products for you.

JUST ONE POPPY

Hi and welcome! Today’s poppy card comes from a stamping tutorial from Andrea Walford.

I was so very taken with the card that Andrea did and the technique that I just had to try it for myself. Since I don’t have the Field of Flowers stamp set, I used Painted Poppies(151599) with a little help from Grace’s Garden and Itty Bitty Greetings.

The background mat was coloured with Pool Party ink and a Sponge Brayer to give the ombre effect and then embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder.

The main image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I played around with the White Craft ink for the “a little hello” greeting. It is there just very light which means that I have to add more ink to the pad next time!

Here’s the list of products used.

Let’s start this week off with some cuteness with the Zany Zebras stamp set!

In case I haven’t said it before, I’m a little wild about this stamp set! I pulled a piece from the Playing with Patterns designer paper pack(152490) to offset this cute little guy.

OK, I’m doing this and back with another card that features the Forever Fern Bundle(154094).

Check out that gold leaf spray in the back – it is just one of the very beautiful pieces from the Forever Gold Lazer-cut specialty paper pack.

I had put the card base(Bumblebee) and mats(Soft Suede) together earlier and set it all aside because it seemed way to “autumn-y” but adding those vibrant greens added just the right amount of colour to set it all off.

This is one of those all occasion type cards that can be used for any occasion!

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.

~~~Connie~~~

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. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
