STAMPIN' UP! Sweet Sadie Washi Tape




It was time to pull out something different that I hadn't used yet.  I had ordered the Stampin' UP! Sweet Sadie Washi Tape months ago.  I left it on my table from the time it arrived but hadn't even opened the package.  I loved the Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantelope in colors when they came out.

I punched  the flower from an EK Success punch (which I had to "encourage" to open back up again after punching).  I put two of the flowers together and, of course, it looked too plain.  I had the Botanical Blooms stamp set on my table and used one of the stamps for the center of the flower.  I wasn't happy with the look so I decided to die cut a center with the coordinating die set.   I think a button would have been a good choice as well but I like things that lay more flat to mail.  I might make another card  like this but try a different flower.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!!

PP 221




I had just pulled out this Stampin' Up! set to use for the first time and made this card.  Then I saw the Paper Players Challenge for this week so I added the three little butterflies.

I cannot take credit for the layout of the card since I saw one like it on Pinterest which was made by Susan Simpson using pink card stock.  I did make one like that as well, but wanted to post a card that was in another color.  A third card was made using Pacific Point cardstock.

Be sure to visit The Paper Players to see all of the great cards posted there this week.

Thank you for coming by today!!!

K&COMPANY DIMENSIONAL STICKER


I purchased two packages of these stickers a couple of years ago.  Recently I pulled out some of the dimensionals that I have had for a long time and placed them on my craft table so I would remember to use some of them.  This card used two of the stickers in one of the packages.  I cut and embossed an oval with a Spellbinders die using PTI Vintage Creme card stock and then added the floral sticker to it.  That layer was added to a Dotted Swiss mat on a card base.   Then I decided to add the little bee.

Thank you for coming by today!  Have a great weekend!!!

RUBBERNECKER Sketch Poppies Set


This set consists of 7 stamps.  I used only the ones that make up the flowers.  The blooms were inked with Stampin' Up! Delightly Dijon ink.  There are some videos that show how to line up the stamps but I prefer using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.  The designs aren't necessarily intended to be perfect but I still like to have them "pretty close".  And to finish off the card, I used the Freehand Frame from Rubbernecker.

RUBBERNECKER Flowers in the Breeze


This is the card I sent to my friend, Georgia, for her birthday.  Sadly to say it didn't get mailed until the day of her birthday, but she did receive it a couple days later.  This Rubbernecker design consists of 4 stamps.  There are 3 additional stamps that are sentiments.

It is a little difficult to see but I scored a line on each side of the Happy Birthday.

Thank you for coming by!

MORE RUBBERNECKER Field of Poppies


Yesterday's card used these colors and I still had the Field of Flowers stamp set on my table, so I did the design in the same two shades of blue and green Ranger Distress Markers.


I don't have all of the Ranger Distress markers, but I noticed that I do have two shades of pink that worked well together.  I made one more card and I love the softness of the pinks.

Thank you for stopping by!

It's never easy to need sympathy cards and I needed one rather quickly.  I kept it simple and used an embossing folder from Stampin'...
