Bloom with Delight

I love this card! I love the white flowers and the square colors. This will be a card offered at my card class this weekend. Unfortunately, it will be a first come, first serve card since it takes up so many Stampin' Up buttons. I bought three packs of these buttons, but I think you can only make 5 or 6 cards with these buttons. (Still worth it though!) The papers are all from Stampin' Up. This flower punch is from Paper Shaper. After I punched the flowers, I ran them through the Big Shot in a Cuddlebug folder (Swiss Dot). The sentiment is from Endless Creations.

Kool-Aid Card

My friend showed me this idea from SplitCoast Stampers. The only thing I changed was the colors and added some glitter to the images. These are so cute, I think I might make these for my students at the end of the year. The "relax" sentiment is from the set "And Many Mower" (retired Stampin' Up). I cut the top note die two times (cut the 2nd one in half and use the border scallop punch for the middle edge). I attached the two pieces together with sticky strip tape, which usually holds boxes together, but it still pops apart with the kool-aid in it, so I needed to add a little staple. I used the set "Tart and Tangy" (Stampin' Up) for the cherry and lemon image.

Flower Punch

Here is another flower card using the extra large flower punch. The leaves/stem stamp is from the set "Sweet Heart". This pattern paper is from one of the many large paper packs I picked up from a local craft store. I really like how these colors look together. The center dot is a stamp from the set "Thinking Happy Thoughts" and I put a big button in the middle.

Primary Flower

I thought I had posted this card, but when I scrolled back a few months in my blog, I couldn't find it. This was one of my favorites (and it was a favorite last month at my workshop). I can't believe I forgot to post it! I actually made several versions of this flower card (using different colors and different pattern papers) that I will show in future posts. This one was made using this cute plaid paper from My Minds Eye (I found at Hobby Lobby). The colors I matched up with this are Pacific Point (retired Stampin' Up, but coming back this summer), Real Red and Crushed Curry. The punch is the extra large flower punch (still available from the occasions mini catalog). The stem and leaves stamp is from the set "Sweet Heart" (still available from Stampin' Up). The black circle dots stamp is from the set "Think Happy Thoughts" (Stampin' Up). The embellishment at the bottom is just a green paperclip and Crushed Curry polka dot ribbon.

Go Green!

This card is in honor of Earth day this week. Isn't this frog adorable? I love the out-doorsy paper by Basic Grey. The frog stamp is from whipper Snapper Designs. The flower embellishments are from a local scrapbooking store. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stopping by!

Another Owl

Sorry about another owl, but I just love this new paper. Again, this is Basic Grey paper. I just love these colors together! Nothing new to tell you about this design, just wanted to show these colors.

Spring Owl

This was some of the new paper I got on my little shopping spree this weekend. The paper is Basic Grey. At first I thought this looked a little too busy with the two pattern papers, but it has started to grow on me. I love these colors together. I made the owl from punches (1 3/4" circle punch, round tab punch and scallop circle punch all from Stampin' Up). Each of the body parts is embossed with embossing folders. For the eyes, I used the 1/2", 1/4", and 1/8" circle punches. The branch stamp is from Cheep Talk (Stampin' Up). The self adhesive felt flowers were from Hobby Lobby.
