Flowers and Patterns

As promised, I have another card using the Pieces and Patterns stamp set, Pick a Pattern designer series paper and Stampin' Blends. This time I chose more feminine colors and stamps and added some background stamping as well.

The middle flower was stamped on scrap paper, colored, cut out with the paper snips and popped up over the designer series paper.

Supplies:

Pieces and Patterns

Memento black, Flirty Flamingo, Crushed Curry ink

Stampin' Blends

Whisper White card stock

Pick a Pattern Birthday

 I always send birthday cards to our families and now that also includes great nieces and nephews so I need to remember to have some kids cards on hand.  The Pick a Pattern designer series paper is a fun one to use for kids occasions and I paired it with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set.  Tomorrow I will share another card using the same paper and stamp set.

I stamped the dinosaur with Memento black ink and colored it in with my Stampin' Blends before punching it out with the 2" circle punch and popping it up over the layers of designer series paper.

Supplies:

Memento Black ink

Stampin' Blends

Birthday Blooms

Another birthday card today using the same sentiment stamp set and yesterday's card called Big on Birthdays.  This time I paired it with the Blooms and Wishes stamp set.  I chose Berry Burst, Fresh Fig and Powder Pink as my ink colors and added a double banner for the sentiment.

The card is a simple but fun one and you could easily change up the colors in lots of different ways.

Supplies:

Blooms and Wishes, Big on Birthdays

Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink ink

Very Vanilla, Powder Pink card stock

Textured Birthday

While I really like the patterns in the Timeless Textures stamp set, I realized I haven't used it in quite awhile.  This card came out of some playing around with it one day using Pool Party, Perfect Plum, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso ink.

The mat on the larger layer is a piece of designer series paper from the Christmas around the world collection.  I think I should have made the Very Vanilla piece a little smaller so the designer series paper could have been showcased a little better.  

Supplies:

Timeless Textures, Big on Birthdays

Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Pool Party, Early Espresso ink

Woodgrain Birthday

I just love playing with this die cut from the Eclectic layers thinlits set.  This time it is cut from some Wood Textures designer series paper and has Naturally eclectic designer series paper behind it.  I added a few stamped images from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set on the Tranquil Tide background.

My sentiment is from the Milestone Moments stamp set and is stamped with Fresh Fig and

Tranquil Tide ink.

Bethlehem Star

Another star project to share with you today - this will probably be the last one :)  I have a different type of star as my base this time, a little larger and just stained...

I started with some Merry Music specialty paper and then die cut the Bethlehem edgelits out of Champagne foil and added them to the designer paper.

A lace doily is cut in half and lays behind the designer paper and I added a little big of burlap ribbon and a sentiment from Star of Light.

Supplies:

Star of Light

Smoky Slate card stock

Missed Your Birthday

In the spring and fall when I am busiest with farm work, I tend to miss a few birthdays on the calendar.  This stamp set will help with a late birthday sentiment!  It is called Sorry for Everything and I paired it with the Naturally Eclectic designer series paper for this card.  

I just layered a piece of the designer series paper on some Tranquil Tide and then layered my sentiment on some Night of Navy and attached it at an angle on the designer series paper layer.

Supplies:

Sorry for Everything

Night of Navy, Fresh Fig ink
