Violet Birthday!

Morning all! Happy Thursday! Guess it isn't morning anymore here though! Oops! Here is a card I was inspired to make last week! See note below about sizes and 6x6 DSP!


Card base is Secret Sea. Accent layer of Highland Heather behind the Basic White panel. DSP prints on the white, reverse images of the same sheet. Flowers cut from Highland Heather with Peacefun Pine stems. Small white ribbon (retired) bow attached over stem. Saying in Secret Sea and Gorgeous Grape on Basic White retired punch. Darling Duckling sparkle dots in the center of the flowers!

Note on the DSP. This layout was designed (not by me!) to use 6x6 DSP. The dark piece is 3x3, the light 1x3. You can get 3 from one 6x6 piece of DSP! I started with a 12 x 12 and cut it into 4 pieces 6x6! Cut first in half at 3" so you now have 2 pieces 3x6. Cut both in half again at 3. You should now have 4 pieces that are 3x3. Take one and cut 3 strips at 1". There you go! Get to chopping - so much DSP, so little time :)

Thanks for stopping by! Links below for current products! I have one more thing to do in the kitchen before heading down to my room for the afternoon. Need to clean up and put some things away. It is really amazing how many "in process" things can accumulate on my desk!

More French Foliage!

While I had it out, I made a few more! Love the different looks obtained by changing the color, layout and texture!


Both of these feature Blackberry Bliss, Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger and Crumb Cake! Card base is Blackberry. Top is accented with Darling Duckling. Images stamped close and overlaid. Textured with a folder that leaves raised plus signs - do not know the name! Background was cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle die, and the saying is on a smaller one. Darling Duckling ribbon and dots for accent.

This one was stamped more open, corner to corner only across the card front. Timid Tiger accent layer and ribbon. It was embossed with the Subtle folder. In Color dots in Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger for accent. Banner for the saying cut using Stylish Shapes - one of the die sets on sale *ending today*!

Thanks for stopping by today! Product links below for items that are current. My apologies on the ribbon, they are current colors, but the ribbons are not available any longer. We seem to only have ribbon the first year of In Colors anymore! Disappointing for sure!

French Foliage returns

I really can't get through Fall without digging out this set! So fun to play and try different options!! Some different colors today, and a variety of texture!


Before we get into details, I should let you know there is a Flash Sale happening through tomorrow (October 23) on select Dies and tools! 15% off! See the items on sale HERE! 

I grabbed the Color Coach and flipped through to find some different colors. Came out with Timid Tiger, Pool Party, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Crumb Cake. They blend really well!

Note: I print the Color Coach each year and keep it in my stamp table drawer for easy access!! I think you are meant to cut it and put the cards on a ring; I just keep the sheets!

Above, I stamped the background with leaves in Timid Tiger, Petal Pink and Pool Party. The verse in Old Olive and splatter dots in Crumb Cake - some full strength, some off once. I then cut the background with the largest Deckled Rectangle die and then textured it with the Pinewood Plank embossing folder. It is recessed instead of raised though! Pool Party accent layer, Timid Tiger base. Retired ribbon across the center - grosgrain ribbon from before they had names! Saying from Simply Said, tag from Greetings of the Season dies. White brad colored with my Pool Party Stampin' Blend for accent!

For this one, I stamped the same images/colors, but maybe a little more overlap and closer together. Also cut with the largest Deckled Rectangle and textured, not sure of the name of the folder! Kind of has a wave to it, reminded me of a leaf pattern. This one has a Petal Pink accent layer, Crumb Cake ribbon, "hello" from Simply Said on the small Deckled Rectangle. In Color Flat pears in Timid Tiger for accent!

Radiant Scallop

Morning all, Happy Monday! I'm off and running, hoping to be much more productive this week than last! Fighting a head cold kept me moving slow. Creations to share first thing today - a few more cards with the Sunflower Fields Suite - such fun!!

Inspired by Pinterest, but Oh So Easy to create!


This entire DSP pack has great neutral patterns on the back - perfect for an accent! I took a background size piece and cut the left 1-1/2" off, flipped it and attached both to the background.


Card base is Golden Glow, accent layer of Cajun Craze. Retired ribbon on both, Early Espresso on the top and Bumble Bee on the bottom. I stamped with the Biggest Wish (retired) set on the Scallop Squares (from Scallop Contours - retired) in Golden Glow and Cajun Craze. Those words are so fun to mix and match! Scallop is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals over the DSP and ribbon. I cut a sunflower, center and stem out of Golden Glow, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow and attached on the left side. A few Radiant Gems for accent finish the cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! Product details below.
