Falling Flowers Layout

I had a few of the punched flowers that I've turned into a couple of 8x8 layouts. My photo mat is 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 .

I again used a bunch of scraps to stamp and punch my flowers.  The flowers are on pop up dots and each center has a few of the My & My Big Ideas beads in them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Jarfull of Spring Flowers

Today I'm the designer for the Card A Day Blog and the theme is Spring.  I use to pick the flowers that grew along side the road on the way home, and of course I would put them in a canning jar.  So I thought that this would be the perfect card for today's theme.

I stamped the jar with gray ink then sponged the blue and vintage photo ink.  I then added a few stems in Wild Wabsabi.  I used a post it note to cover the top of the car so that the stem look like are in the inside of the jar.

I used the punches to make the flowers and added a couple of beads on the inside for the centers.  I use the mini branch punch and white flock to make it look like baby's breath.  Not quite sure that it looks like baby's breath but it adds an interest texture to the flowers.  I then used the wing from from the bird punch for the large leaf and filled in with the Martha Stewart branch punch in a couple of different greens.

To finish off the card I punched the Ribbon Lace Border in Vellum and added a couple of the branches to the bottom of the jar. 

I finished off the inside of the card with another punched Ribbon Lace border and a flower in the corner. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, be sure come back tomorrow to see what Chris Durnan has for your inspiration./

Happiness Always

I took a few minutes to make a couple of cards.  All of the flowers, leaves and the bird and butterfly are stamped and punched from my scrap pile.

I pulled out a few different shades of pink, orange and yellow cardstock.  I then stamped one color of pink ink on all of the pink card stock.  I did this for all the pinks then repeated the process for all of the orange and yellows.  After I was done stamping I started punching the flowers out.   



I embossed the white cardstock with the the Stylized Flowers embossing and the second piece with the Polka Dot embossing folders. I cut them half and attached them to my pattern paper. I added ribbon then my sentiment.

I stamped and punched out the bird then stamped the butterfly.  I don't have this butterfly punch so I hand cut him out and added a little bit of stickles to hom. I added a few leaves behind the bird and butterfly the started adding the flowers. 

After everything was in place I used Glossy Accents to attach the bead to the center of each flower.  To finish the inside of the card I used the Swirling lace punch on a piece of the pattern paper.

Just Because

I made another Just Because card.  I used Rich Razzleberry instead of the orange, if you missed the prior post click here.  I used the bird stamp instead of the butterfly on this card.



I just love the medallion stamp on the outside of the envelope.

Just Because . . .

I needed a card for my Brother-In-Law and his new wife.  They had gotten married in June and are have the reception and new home over the weekend.

Please remember that you can make any picture bigger by clicking on it.


I used the medallion stamp on the outside of the envelope.  I just love this stamp.



I used the medallion stamp on the front of the card then layered the punched and die cut shapes on the front of the card.  Everything is inked with Basic Black.  I added a bit of sheer ribbon from my stash.  I don't have the butterfly punch so I fussy cut around the butterfly.

I used the flat back pearls in the center of the butterfly and only glued the center part down and left the wings free.

I added another butterfly on the opposite side of where I'll put my message. 

I really like how this card turned out.
