A beautiful bouquet of flowers!!!

HI!
With Mother's Day this coming Sunday, I thought this would be a great card to share.  This is another one of the cards we did at my STYC last month.

The flowers pull up & are attached to a card.  The flower pot is the holder- so it is like a pocket card.

'Mixed Bunch'
cs:  Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Lucky Limeade, Chocolate Chip
ink:  Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink
supplies:  Blossom Bouquet punch (RETIRING), basic pearls, Blossoms Petals Builder punch, Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon, glue dots, dimensionals, Scallop Edge Border punch, Blossom punch

Technique- direct to paper on the flower pot.

CHECK OUT THE ENVELOPE!  Made this with the new Diagonal Simply Scoring tool!  The directions for making envelopes comes with this.  

ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!

LOVELY DAY.......for 'Lovely As A Tree'

Good morning!

Today is a lovely day to post this card.  It is made with one of my all time favorite stamp sets- 'Lovely As A Tree'.  I was so happy to see that this set is going to be around again for the upcoming catalog year!

This is one of the cards I did at my STYC last month.

The background is done with the technique called 'wood grain'.  I made it using the new Simply Scoring tool.

*Make the lines on your cs with your Simply Scoring tool.
*Take your ink pad & rub it lightly over the top of the card stock.

Super easy!  Super fun!  Super cool!

Guy cards are sometimes hard to design.  This card makes a great guy card.  It could also be used as a sympathy card, etc.

'Lovely As A Tree' & 'Teeny Tiny Wishes'
cs:  Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory
ink:  Chocolate Chip
supplies:  2 1/2" circle punch, Big Shot, 3" circle die, Crimper (RETIRING), Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Pastel Chalks (RETIRING), Simply Scoring Tool, sponge, dimensionals

I have all 3 boys again today!  Aunt Kathy is going to come get Brayden for awhile so he can help Uncle Jerry mow with tractor/bat wing & do things on the farm. 

Hope you have a fabulous day!  Be sure to check back tomorrow.  :)

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

I have my bags unpacked (nothing put away), my laundry done & still have a weeks worth of mail to go through.  I created & cut CS all day in between loads of laundry.

We went to Bradyen's house last night for a yummy BD supper.  April made him an adorable Scooby Do cake.  It was great to get to see the rest of our family.  :)  I can't believe how much the twins have grown & changed the weeks we were away. 

Ok- gotta get back to cutting card stock.
 
Have a great day!!
ENJOY!
Happy Stamping!
