Oh my goodness, I think this one is my favorite card so far with the Flowering Fields Suite. Slim line cards are so popular right now, but sometimes they can be tough to create if your stamp isn't big enough. I knew the actual stamp for the field wasn't going to be long enough so I had to adjust my design a bit for this card. First I cut my white card stock length based on how long I thought it should be. I started with the yellow flowers in … [Read more...] about Tall Flowers

Flowering Fields
I'm back this week with more projects using the Flowering Fields Suite. This time I'm using the Tulip Fields stamp set. This one takes a bit of practice to get the field stamped right. The horizontal yellow flowers are all one stamp. I recommend using the Stamparatus with this stamp to be sure you have it straight. Then the triangle fields are added in. I recommend starting on the outside, next to the yellow flowers and then work your way in to … [Read more...] about Flowering Fields
Living Life
Monday I shared a simple card using the Flowing Rain Boots bundle. Today I have a more stepped up version for you. This one uses more ribbon, vellum doilies, and one of those gold bumble bees! I think I need to add more of those gold bumble bees to my stash, just in case Stampin Up decides to retire them this year. They are absolutely perfect for floral and plant cards. Speaking of retiring products.. the next Annual Catalog will start on … [Read more...] about Living Life
Spring Flowers
I know Spring is still a couple weeks off, but I'm looking forward to warmer days. I'm ready to move on from sweater weather. In anticipation of Spring, I got out a new flower stamp set, Flowering Rain Boots. Today's card is a quick one that is easily replicated. I love handmade cards. And I know sometimes people struggle with making cards because they think it's too hard or too complicated. Cardmarking doesn't have to be complicated. … [Read more...] about Spring Flowers

So Many Flowers
I'm still playing with the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. Anytime we have a stamp set and punch combo, I'm probably going to buy it. I love my die cuts, but the punch is so quick and easy to work with. The punch cuts out both sizes of flowers and leaves. Cutting out all these flowers and leaves was so quick. You'll notice that there is no sentiment on this card. Sometimes, the better placement for a sentiment is the inside of the card. … [Read more...] about So Many Flowers
Flowers of Friendship
Happy Monday! This is one of my first cards using brand new stamps and paper from the new Annual Catalog. I love the watercolor flowers in the paper. They match the flower stamp so well. I kept the card relatively simple to keep the focus on the pretty flowers. I did make the flowers 3D though to give them a little pop. To do this, I stamped an extra set of flowers and colored and cut them out. I used a glue dot at the base of the flower and … [Read more...] about Flowers of Friendship
