Big Yellow Flower Fest

Don’t you love this BIG Flower Fest flower. We were trying to decide what type of flower this really is in one my classes. I think we finally all decided it was some type of Chrysanthemum. Whatever it is, I love it! It’s the perfect size to be a focal point. This stamp set has great leaves, too.

I chose my leftover Bashful Blue Paisley Petals pattern for this card. The neutral Crumb Cake and Whisper White CS makes a nice subtle background for the bold red, black and yellow. The Old Olive leaves also soften the bold colors. I used the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the sentiment.

 Hope that you’re having a wonderful day!

Organic Flower Fest

So what makes this card “organic”? My son! I always get my family’s response and input to the cards I make because they’re pretty honest and aren’t worried about hurting my feelings. I appreciate the truth! When I set this card out for some input, my son told me he liked the organic look to the card, so the “organic” name stuck :-)

This is the third card we made in April’s stamp class. I stamped the BIG flower from the Flower Fest stamp set onto the peachy colored Paisley Petals DSP to create the focal point for this card. The Stripe embossing folder on the card front and Pool Party band gave the card some texture. I love texture!!

I’m going to miss this fun stamp set…I hope that the new catalog has a great replacement for the Flower Fest stamp set.

See you next time!!

Word Play Flower Fest

In my last post, I shared with you the Scalloped Card I made with the Flower Fest stamp set that didn’t make April’s class. Well today I’m posting one of the cards that DID make the class using the three So Saffron stamped and watercolored roses. My layout for this card was inspired by another stamper. Unfortunately her card didn’t include her watermark, so I can’t give due credit :-/. My apologies!!

My challenge for this month’s class was incorporating my leftover Paisley Petal DSP with the Flower Fest stamp set to create three different styled cards. This is the elegant card which the green floral DSP gives a soft feel to.  I used Old Olive grosgrain ribbon to create the little ribbon leaves.

Thanks for stopping by!

Life's Moments Explosion Scrapbook

We created this Scrapbook in a Box, as I like to call it, for our Project Class last month. The beautiful Paisley Petals DSP makes not only a beautiful box, but a beautiful scrap album, as well. The album features a couple of little envelopes with pull-out tags and several pages for journaling, along with cardstock photo frames.

If you missed this class, you can still get in on the fun. The PDF tutorial for the Paisley Petals Scrapbook is available, which includes a thorough and detailed list of supplies and dimensions along with an Illustrated Step-by-Step 24-page Tutorial (you'll also receive a PDF with journal lines and "Life's Moments" sentiment) to give you written and visual instruction for creating the project. The cost for the PDF class is $5 and can be purchased below by clicking on the "Buy Now" button. The PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours.

Scallop Circle Card

I hope that you're enjoying your Saturday. I'm hoping to squeeze in a little time to today to create some cards and projects for upcoming classes. I have a ton of ideas, now I just need the time :-) I made this little Scallop Circle card to pair with the Summer Basket I shared with you earlier this week. If you missed the FREE tutorial for the basket you can Click Here for the Basket post, which includes the links to the Basket Tutorial and Template. I'm also sharing the tutorial for the coordinating Scallop Circle card, just Click Here (lots of clicking, huh?). I hope you have fun!!

Have a great Saturday and weekend!!

Summer Basket Tutorial Share

I created this Summer Basket awhile back using the Paisley Petals DSP. I love this color...it's soft and looks great with Marina Mist. I gave this basket to a friend of mine filling it with a couple of Bath & Body Works lotions along with See's Candy suckers and a gift card. It made such a pretty way to give a gift. You could fill it with a set of cards, candy, whatever else you can think of that will fit inside the basket.

I'd love to share the tutorial for this basket with you. For your free PDF's, you'll need to click on both the Summer Basket Tutorial and the Basket Templates! I also made a Scallop Circle card to coordinate with it, which I'll share later this week. Until then, I hope that you have fun creating!
