Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend!
Yesterday I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! but for those of you who receive notification of my blog posts via email, the video didn’t show up in the email. I have no idea why this happens but I’ll try to remember to let you know next time to click the title of the post so that you can see the post in its entirety.
Today I want to share a card I made for a friend of mine for her birthday using the stamp set Bunch of Blossoms. This is a Two-Step Stamp set which allows you to combine individual stamps to build the final image you want, in the colors you want. In this stamp set you get a whopping 26 pieces! I’ve pointed out below which ones I used to create my card.
Bunch of Blossoms Stamp Set #141573
This was the first time I’d used this stamp set and I did a lot of experimenting to get the look I wanted. For the petals, I used one color but when I used the stamp on the right (the one with more coverage), I stamped onto my ink pad and then stamped off on my grid paper before stamping onto my Whisper White piece. The other stamp was used full strength. I did the same thing with the leaves. I recommend trying it out and seeing what you like!
I added Wink of Stella to the petals and leaves which gave it a pretty shimmery look! I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Petal Burst embossing folder. My sentiment is from the stamp set Birthday Banners.

Here are some great ideas for wrapping holiday goodies and gifts! It’s so easy to just pop a treat or gift into our food safe 6″ x 17″ cellophane bags, add ribbon and finish it off with a tag. The bags come in packs of 25! Enjoy!

As we celebrate Veteran’s Day here in America, I want to say thank you to all the men and women who have protected or are currently protecting our country. You are very appreciated every single day of the year!
I love this new stamp in the Annual Catalog called Stylized Birthday. It’s a single stamp and is wood mounted.
I made this card when I was visiting my mom last month. I usually go for an extended stay and I love that I can set up a temporary craft area when I’m there. I brought supplies to make holiday cards but I needed to make a birthday card for a good friend and decided to work on birthday cards instead. We can always use lots of birthday cards, right?
I’ve been trying to challenge myself to create cards that would be considered clean and simple and I have three different versions of the same card. The one above has ribbon attached. The one below is the same card but I added a few rhinestones. I almost added more but I was having a hard time knowing if I was adding too much! My friend Karen would say that you can never have too much sparkle!
The card below is made with Mint Macaron and is without rhinestones and without ribbon. I used the Petal Burst embossing folder for all three cards but I think it’s most prominent in the photo below. I really felt that it was way too plain but not everyone likes bling or ribbon.
On each of the cards, I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Several days ago I shared a card I made using the Seasonal Decorative Masks from Stampin’ Up! You can see it HERE. For today’s card I used the same mask and colors to create my design and then sized it down for this layout.
Here are the measurements for the panels: Dapper Denim: 2″ x 5-1/4″ & Whisper White: 1-3/4″ x 5″
