Here’s another card I worked on yesterday using the Fun Flowers die again. I cut out squares using the 1 1/4 inch punch out of Lap of Luxury DSP and Concord Crush cardstock. I actually worked on this for hours using three different colors of cardstock and two colors of DSP. I would try one pattern, not like it and try another and another . . . . . In the end this is what I decided upon. I ran the cardstock pieces through an embossing folder after I punched them out. It is quite a large card but will still fit in the envelopes that Stampin’ Up! sells. The embossed pieces make the card feel really elegant. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for stopping by!!

I had a chance to play today and created this card. The colors make me feel as though Spring is right around the corner! My inspiration came from a card made by Sage Kimble over at Stamping Madly. I used the new Fun Flowers Big Shot die to make the flower. I don’t usually like to sponge color around the edges but I think it adds a nice touch to it. The paper is also from the Occasions Mini and is called Springtime Vintage. I love flowers so I am really enjoying this pack of paper. The sentiment is from a set called You’re a Gem!

I made this little box for Valentine’s Day but I think it could be used for any occasion and can definitely be changed up for any holiday. I got the idea over at Angie Juda’s blog. I get so many cute ideas from her. Hope you are having a great President’s Day!
