A Spring Sampler

I recently purchased a new computer and am trying to learn a new editing software program.  My lights that I usually use to take pictures of my cards both stopped working a few months ago so I purchased new lights that I am just not happy with.   I am not happy with the way my cards look when photographed.  I ordered some new bulbs for my old lights and we will see if that takes care of the problem.  

That being said, this card is so MUCH cuter in person.  We made it at my Stamp Club last week and they all seemed to really like it!!  I have to give credit to Mary Brown.  She had a cute a tutorial that I followed and it was very easy to make this card.  I am stuck on using the Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder combo.  It is such a soft combination.

I used two stamp sets for my flowers, flower pot and butterfly.  The butterfly came from A Fitting Occasion in the Annual catalog and the other cuties came from Spring Sampler in the Spring catalog.  The card dimensions are 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 which is a different size but will still fit in our envelopes!  The openings were made using my 1 1/4 inch Scallop punch. My sentiment is a stamp set that you can get FREE with a $50 order or you could get the cute punch (or both with a $100 order) !!  PLUS, for every   $50 you purchase  at my Online Store, your name will go on my 50/50 board and you will have a chance to win $50 in Stampin' Up! products!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Welcome Flower

It's funny how a card can come to be.   Yesterday I sat down at my craft table and I wasn't really sure what I was going to make.  I looked around the table and saw a few bits and pieces from my crafting last week.  Last week I showed you a purse card with a Melon Mambo embossed flower.  I had also tried making one on Daffodil Delight cardstock but I didn't really like it for the purse card.  I had also tried embossing a piece from the set A Fitting Occasion.  I used white embossing powder on Gumball Green (my new favorite color) but I put it aside because it just didn't really go with my card.  So I started playing around with these two pieces and Voila!, my card was created. I also used the CUTE new scallop circle punch (#127811).


The Idea Book & Catalog is a great place to go for inspiration.  My original inspiration for the embossed green Modern Label piece came from a picture on page 100 of the catalog.  From there my creativity went forward!  Give it a try, look through the catalog and see where it leads you!

Thanks for stopping by!
