Flower Power

Hi Friends!
Today I have a sneak peek for you!  Do you know which product on my card is new??  It’s the embossing folder and it’s called Modern Mosaic!  You can purchase it in the new catalog which goes live on May 31st.

I saw a card with this layout some time ago by Rita Wright and knew right away that I wanted to try it.  She used paper that has since retired so I decided to use paper from the Print Poetry Designer Series Pack which retires in a few weeks!  What you can’t see in the photo is that my flower has a lot of height.  I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on each layer. There are actually two of each of the flowers with dimensionals between them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you would like to purchase any of the products used to make my card, you can visit my online store here!

Spotlight on Tools

Hi Friends,
Today I am going to spotlight Sticky Strip (#104294)!!  Stampin’ Up! sells a wide variety of adhesives but when I want a super strong hold, I turn to Sticky Strip. Once in a while I will use it on a card but I always use it for 3D items.  Sometimes an embossed layer for a card doesn’t lay down well and that’s when I use Sticky Strip on a card.  It is double sided, 1/4″ wide and you receive 10 yards, so it really does last a long time.  Just as the name implies, it is VERY sticky so I have a pair of scissors that I use just for Sticky Strip.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello

 
Hi Friends,
My card today uses the stamp set, My Friend.  This is the first time I’ve used the hello sentiment from it.  It is so pretty in person with all the swirls.  I think I will be using it more often!  My background paper is from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper pack from the Spring catalog.  You can only purchase this paper until May 31st.  It comes with so many pretty papers.  There are 48 sheets and each sheet is 4-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches.

Thank you for stopping by!

One More Mother’s Day Card

Here’s one more Mother’s Day card to show you.  I made this one for my terrific mother-in-law, Pat!  It is also done using the Color Wash technique.  I decided to make her flowers pink so I used Melon Mambo.  You can’t see the little pearls in the center of each flower but they are there!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!!  Today is our youngest daughter’s first Mother’s Day!!  You can see a cute picture of Erin and Audrey below.

This is the card that I made for Erin.  She loves purple so the flowers were painted using Elegant Eggplant. The card base is Elegant Eggplant too!

Thought I would include a picture of me with my wonderful mom many years ago.  Happy Mother’s Day!!
