Stampin'Up! FABULOUS FLORETS

I'm so glad you joined me again today as I share with you my last of four cards featuring the FABULOUS FLORETS stamp set and embossing powder. The base of the card is Wild Washabi, topped with Whisper White that has been stamped in Elegant Eggplant and Daffodil Delight. I wanted to show the ladies how easy it is to make your own designer paper with a few stamps and some ink. The stem and leaves were partially embossed.

Later today I am having a Christmas in July class. Stay tuned for some Christmas card ideas. Between now and November, every month we'll make 8 Christmas cards which will total 40 handmade cards by the end of November. For me, it's much easier to do a few along and have that out of the way before the holiday kicks off at Thanksgiving.

Enjoy your Sunday with family and friends.

The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all He has made. Psalm 145:13

Stampin'Up! FABULOUS FLORETS & BEYOND THE GARDEN Designer Series Paper

Happy Friday and welcome back to another card using Beyond the Garden designer series paper and the Fabulous Florets stamp set. This is my favorite out of the four cards my ladies did at the embossing class. For the base of the card and the cut out flower I used Melon Mambo card stock. To make the flower, instead of ink I used a versa mark pad to outline the flower, then topped that with black embossing powder and then I used the heat gun to set. I love the way the flower ties in with the Basic Black card stock used to back the other pieces on the card.

Wouldn't you say "the earth (definitely) laughs in flowers?

Thank you for stopping by. I have scheduled to post on Sunday the last of the Fabulous Florets cards. I hope you can join me then. Enjoy your weekend!

Stampin'Up! FABULOUS FLORETS & BEYOND THE GARDEN

Today I'm sharing another card my ladies made at my Embossing Class last week....very simple, yet very pretty I think. The centers of the flowers and the solid pink flower have been embossed.

Our 7 year old granddaughter is very interested in stamping. Below she is getting the technique down pat before the ladies arrive for class. She doesn't miss many of my classes. I'm so glad to be able to share my passion with her. Thanks for joining me; I'll be back tomorrow with another card using the FABULOUS FLORETS stamp set and BEYOND THE GARDEN designer series paper.

Stampin'Up! FABULOUS FLORETS

Thanks for joining me today! Last week I had an Embossing Class and used the FABULOUS FLORETS Stamp Set, BEYOND THE GARDEN designer series paper and coordinating embossing powder all featured on page 22 and 23 of the Summer Mini Catalog.

The background of the card is Tangerine Tango, topped with Whisper White that's been run through the Big Shot using the Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates (114512) and then layered with Beyond the Garden designer series paper (122342). You'll notice in the photo above, the stem and flower have been cut out. The flower was embossed using the versa mark pad, Tangerine Tango embossing powder and heat gun.Above is another sample showing the stem stamped directly on the card stock topped with the embossed flower.

I found this particular inside verse at a "big store". I am on the Care Team at our church and unfortunately Stampin'Up! does not offer many stamps appropriate for what I need.

I'm glad you stopped by...thanks for your patience. I hope to be more consistent once school starts back. Stay tuned this week for more samples of cards using FABULOUS FLORETS.

Have a great day!
