Today’s card is quick and easy! I used the stamp set Garden in Bloom which comes with flowers, leaves, butterflies, sentiments and a bee! It is a 2 step stamping set – you use two stamps to create one image. In this case, I stamped the outline of my flower in Rose Red. Then I used a different stamp for the center. I inked the stamp up, stamped it on scratch paper and then stamped it inside my flower. The leaves were stamped in this same way. I stamped the body of the bee with Memento ink and then inked up the small oval (right next to the bee in the picture below) in Daffodil Delight and stamped right on top of the bee. Easy!!

I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to post today as it has been a busy week traveling and visiting family. Before we left, I started today’s card and was able to finish it up today.
The flowers are from the new stamp set Birthday Blossoms. As soon as I saw it in the catalog I knew I wanted it because I felt they would be just perfect for coloring! I stamped the flowers and leaves with Memento Ink and colored them with my Copics. I could have used the Pansy Punch to cut out my flowers but I chose to cut them with my paper snips. We don’t have a punch for the leaves so they were cut out too.
I had a vision for the finished card but when I started to put it together, I wasn’t happy with it. I had a different type of fold so that my flowers would hang off of the paper. When you use alcohol ink markers, it tends to bleed through to the back of the paper. Perfectly normal but I didn’t want to see the backs when the card was opened. So, I carefully peeled the flowers off of my cardstock (I used Tombow) but they were still attached as a group. I ended up placing a few Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back and placed it on my card. I felt a little sick when I started peeling them off the paper and was so relieved when nothing ripped. Whew!!
I finished it off with a sentiment from Six Sided Sampler stamped with Rich Razzzleberry.

I inked up my flower cart with Memento Ink and then colored it with my Copic markers (non-Stampin’ Up!). I used my Fluttering embossing folder for the first time – I thought butterflies would be fitting on a card with flowers!
Thanks for stopping by today!

As some of my blog readers know, three years ago I retired from teaching. After receiving my teaching credential in 1980, my new husband and I (today is actually our 35th wedding anniversary) moved to Florida from California. He had been living in Pensacola (he was in the Navy) for seven months while I finished the teaching credential program in California. Together we lived in Pensacola for a year while he went through flight school (then we spent the next 6 years in Jacksonville, Florida). Within two months of our wedding, I became pregnant and we made the decision that I would be a stay at home mom. Ten years later, when both of our girls were in school, I began my teaching career and taught for 22 years.
School started back up again this past Tuesday, without me. I do miss the excitement of a new school year starting – new folders, new pencils and the cute faces of new students! When I retired, I taught second grade, so those same students just started 6th grade. I’ve seen many of their pictures on Facebook this week and they look so grown up!!
We didn’t plan it this way, but on the day school started, I was on a plane to Las Vegas. For some time now, my daughter Jenny has been suggesting that we go together. Las Vegas has no appeal to my husband so Jenny and I planned our trip. We were only there for a few days but had a great time! We stayed at The Wynn – what a beautiful hotel! We definitely did a LOT of walking! According to my Fitbit, I walked 20,626 steps on our one full day there, which is equivalent to 9 miles! That was a record for me! Although I must admit that some of those steps were spent looking for my favorite slot machine. 🙂
I don’t drink coffee but I did on our first morning so Jenny thought it appropriate to capture of picture of it, although the picture is BEFORE I added a ton of milk and three packs of sugar!
The Mai Tais were delicious, especially when sitting by the pool!
I’ll end this post with a picture of my hubby and I on our wedding day! Enjoy the rest of your day!
