Card: Flourish Flakes For Christmas

Hello!

Today I am excited to show you how I created Snow Flakes with the Flourish Thinlits Dies!
Aren't they pretty?!

I'm so excited, I think they came out great!





I paired them with my new Peaceful Pines stamp set and coordinating Perfect Pines Framelits!  These carried over from last year's Holiday Catalog!  Yay!  I just love them!  You can now find them in our new Annual Catalog*!

My card is all Whisper White with just a slight pop of color!  I stamped my Pine with our new Emerald Envy ink.  My Peace & Joy greeting came from the (retired) Good Greetings Hostess Set.  You know, I've had that set forever and had never put the stamps on it's wood blocks!

My Peace & Joy greeting fits in perfectly with this weeks challenge over at Merry Mondays!

If you have a second pop on over and check out the cards there!  It's never too early to start your Holiday cards!

Card: Acorny Catalog CASE

Hello!

Today I am sharing my version of a card from the Annual Catalog!

I went nuts over the Acorny Thank You stamp set when it debuted in the Holiday Catalog last winter (pun intended - sorry, couldn't resist - hahaha).



I was so excited to see it come back in the annual catalog!
Along with it's coordinating Acorn Builder Punch, it makes the cutest acorns!

On page 36 of the catalog, they created 2 cards using non-traditional acorn colors!  So cool to see pastel acorns!  The crumb cake card made it into our Demonstrator magazine, Stampin' Success!  So I grabbed my supplies and CASEd it!  Hey, sometimes, you just gotta drop everything and make a card :) I didn't have all of the supplies they used, so I improvised!

Card: Congrats Grad!

Hello!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Today I am sharing a Graduation card we made at my last card class.

This card actually follows the sketch from yesterday's card.  It's just stepped-up. 

I cut my numbers with the Large Numbers Framelits Dies (pg 193 of Annual Catalog).  The Congrats Banner is a combination of the banner stamp (Number of Years stamp set - pg 136) and Tin of Cards (pg 86). 

I am so excited that the designs from the Designer Series Paper Stacks carried over from last year!  I love them!  Here, I used a sheet in Basic Black from the Neutrals Stack (pg 174).

After cutting my numbers for my first card, I realized that I had a great panel for creating a second card!

I love when you can utilize your scraps :)

Card: Super Simple Sunday Swirly Bird Roses

Hello!

I'm bringing back my Super Simple Sunday series for the summer!

Stamping doesn't have to be on hold just because summer is a busy time :)



With my Super Simple Sunday projects, you can produce ( and mass produce ) gorgeous cards in minutes!

For today's card, I didn't have to reach an further than the Swirly Birds stamp set that was already on my table from yesterday's card!  I added a sentiment from Pop of Paradise - which was also sitting on my table :)


You will find the Swirly Bird bundle on page 152 of the new Annual Catalog*.

*Order your own Swirly Bird Bundle ( at 10% Off the price if ordered separately ) Here!

This card can be reproduced in any color combination you wish!  Just grab 2 colors that play well together, your favorite green, and start stamping!

I chose the new in-colors Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, and Emerald Envy.

Just to add a little something to my card, I applied some Wink of Stella to my flowers and glued on a couple of Gold Sequins to highlight my greeting.



It doesn't get much easier than that!
I use this layout quite a bit.  It's one of my most versatile card sketches. 

I hope you are inspired to fit some stamping into one of your busy days!

Happy Stamping!
