Friends

This card came together by using some scraps and a stamp set I had not pulled out in quite awhile.  I began with the designer series paper piece from the Painted with Love specialty collection that is in the Occasions catalog.  Next came the oval which was a leftover die cut from a make and take project.  

The oval is stamped with a flower from Flourishing Phrases in Powder Pink and the sentiment comes from Just Add Text and is in Basic Gray.  I decided to add a heart accent from the Hearts and Stars elements collection with some glue dots and then some enamel dots that were leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit.

Supplies:

Flourishing Phrases, Just Add Text

Powder Pink, Basic Gray ink

Whisper White, Basic Gray, Rich Razzleberry card stock

Ovals collection framelits

white doilies

hearts and stars elements

past Paper Pumpkin kit accessories

August Paper Pumpkin Layout

This is the final alternative project I will share using the August Paper Pumpkin kit although remember, you can use the stamp set and ink for long after the rest of the pieces in the kit are gone!  

I began with a 12" x 12" piece of Peekaboo Peach card stock and then did some stamping on it with the set in the kit.  The kit comes with Night of Navy ink and I also used Peekaboo Peach and Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral markers.

One of the mats for a picture is a card front that is cut down and then mounted on some Whisper White, the other mat is Whisper White mounted on Calypso Coral card stock and I have added at 8 1/2" square piece of Night of Navy behind that.

The tag makes a nice little spot for journaling and I added a title using the Just Add Text stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed the different ideas!

Wonderful Things

The stamp set called Just Add Text has some great sentiments in it and I chose one of them for today's card.  The background designer series paper is from the Fresh Florals stack and I really like this one because it has more than two sheets of each color pattern. 

To keep the card from being a little too plain, I added a lace doily behind the matted sentiment and some glitter enamel dots in fading colors.

Supplies:

Just Add Text

Berry Burst ink

Whisper White, Dapper Denim card stock

Fresh Florals dsp stack

glitter enamel dots

lace doilies

Life is Better

Daisies are one of my favorite flowers so I really love the new Delightful Daisy designer series paper.  I chose to add two layers of the same pattern on the front of this card matting one of them on Daffodil Delight card stock.

I punched out two daisies with the new punch and layered them with dimensionals and added a 1/2" circle in the middle.  In addition there is some 3/8" metallic ribbon behind the daisy and some glitter enamel dots on the card to add some dimension and texture.
