Hi – Today’s card is another easy one to put together.  The base is Cameo Coral – not a color I use a lot, but in this case I wanted something bright to balance the white on the bottom.  And it matched that piece of ribbon! :] 

I ran the white through the small dots texture plate for the Big Shot and cut it to fit the bottom 2/3s of the card.  Then punched out the flowers with the Boho Blossoms punch from the leftover piece so the flowers have embossed dots on them too.  I added mini rhinestones to the middle for a wee bit of sparkle.  The “happy birthday” is from the Stem Sayings stamp set.  Hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by -

Hi – Here’s a bright and cheery card I made for the “merci” collection.  I like the big flower in the center. :] The big flowers are from the “Blooms” die cuts pack.  I layered a few on there and then rounded out the bottom with smaller flowers punched with the Boho Blossoms punch.  The colors are Old Olive, Real Red and Bashful Blue.  Pretty simple card to put together but those flowers add a bit of pop!  Hope you like it!  I’m also posting a second card I made with another designer paper from the Tart & Tangy set.  It has the “Blooms” die cut flowers as well with a few buttons at the bottom.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi – Just a quick post tonight to share the latest card in the “merci” stack.  I made two tonight but the other one, wasn’t quite right… It started out well, but tanked at the end.  Know what I mean?!  ugh…such potential… :]  Anyhow, this card isn’t so bad!  It’s Baja Breeze cardstock with Kraft, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.  I used the Friends 24-7 set to stamp on the Kraft with Versamark so it would be subtle.  The Curly Label punch is layered under the sentiment.  The ribbon is not from Stampin’ Up! but it matched too well not to use it!  I tied it with help twine and then threaded a flower button from the Button Latte collection in the center.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for stopping by -

Hi – I love the way these cards turned out!  They are very different but both are cheerful, I think.  The pink card uses the Gallery stamp set for the frame in the middle.  I cut it out and layered a pink 1-1/4 circle on it with the “merci” stamped in the center.  The flowers are felt with a rhinestone brad in the center.  I used the Friends 24-7 set to stamp the Chocolate Chip layer at the bottom.  The red card is Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. The designer series paper is Bella Rose – a favorite!  The flowers are punched out with the Boho Blossoms punch and the retired Spring flower Bouquet punch.  I hope you like the cards too!  Thanks for stopping by -
