Hello!

Here's a sunny-ish card to brighten your day!  I stamped the flowers with Black Staz-On from "Flower Shop" and punched them out with the corresponding Pansy Punch.  The center was made with Daffodil Delight using the 1/2" Circle Punch and a Basic Pearl.  I stamped "Hello" from the set "Four You" and cut it out on the Big Shot using the Circles Collection Framelits Dies.  The top background was made using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and the bottom with some Daffodil Delight paper from the Designer Series Paper Stacks.  Last,  I added some 1/4" Daffodil Delight Stitched ribbon over a strip of Basic Black card stock.

Five Flowers

I used the Petite Petals Punch to make both the flowers I stamped from "Petite Petals" and the little shadows behind them with solid matching card stock.  I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Gumball Green (retiring), Daffodil Delight, and Tangerine Tango.  The top layer of flowers is popped up with Dimensionals and topped off with a Basic Pearl.  I added words on a banner (also popped up with Dimensionals) from "A Dozen Thoughts".  The background was made with the Arrows Embossing Folder layered on Gumball Green.

A Bit of Art

Here's a card idea that everyone can make unique!  I used "Gorgeous Grunge" in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso for the background.  The flowers were made using the Petite Petals Punch and little flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  The words are from "A Dozen Thoughts" and stamped in Early Espresso.  I added some Linen Thread and twisted it around under the little flowers; then added some Candy Dots on top of the flowers.  

Happy Easter!

Have a Happy Easter and a Happy Spring!

Happy Congratulations

The lanterns from this set, "Happy Congratulations",  fit perfectly in the 3/4" Circle Punch.  I stamped them in Coastal Cabana, Real Read, and Baked Brown Sugar. I popped them up with Dimensionals and strung them on some Whisper White Baker's Twine.  The background paper is from Fresh Prints DSP Stack.

Happy Watercolor

Doesn't this card just brighten up your day?   I made it using the "Happy Watercolor" set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I stamped the swishes in Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise, and Rich Razzleberry.  The words were stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and I added a Bermuda Bay button tied with Linen Thread.

Simple Stems

The Secret Garden Framelits Dies also go with this set called "Simple Stems".  I stamped the flowers in Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush and then punched them out on the Big Shot.  I popped them up with Dimensionals and added some candy dots and ruffle ribbon.  The background paper is from the Fresh Prints DSP Stack and the words are from "Yippee-Skippee!".

Crayon Resist

I used the crayon resist technique to make this card.  First, I stamped the flowers from "So Very Grateful" with Black StazOn Ink.  Then, I used a white crayon and colored the areas (mostly the flowers and some leaves) that I wanted to stay white.  I used a Stampin' Sponge to sponge a little ink starting with Daffodil Delight and then  a Melon Mambo ink pad.  You can see where the ink "resisted" the parts that were colored white.  I mounted it on Melon Mambo and added a Daffodil Delight Seam Binding bow.

Watercolor Wonder

I think this is such pretty DSP called Watercolor Wonder.  I stamped these little flowers from "Petite Petals" with the coordinating colors of Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, and Daffodil Delight and punched them out with the Petite Petals Punch.  Then, I added corresponding Candy Dots and popped them up with Dimensionals.  The words are from "Happy Watercolor".
