Florals With Love

 


I am playing along with the Lovely Garden suite but this time I decided to try out the Thankful Garden decorative masks. I laid them down in order (they are numbered) on a piece of white card stock and used my blending brushes to add color. I used the Melon Mambo and the Garden Green inks. I cut them out with the matching Thankful Garden dies. I then popped my floral image on a white panel cut with the Textured Notes dies and added to the piece of Lovely Garden DSP attached to my Melon Mambo base.   I stamped the sentiment from the Thankful Garden set in Mambo ink. I finished with some Melon Mambo glossy dots.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

Petunia Florals


I wanted to use more of the Bloom Impressions DSP plus the Starstruck embossing folder both free with SAB orders til Friday the 28th(tomorrow). I have a Petunia Pop base and another layer ran through with the Starstruck folder. I then cut a strip of the DSP before popping the Spotlight On Nature white circle die. I stamped the floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of white card stock with the Thankful Garden set and cut it out with the matching dies. I colored it with my Stampin Blends markers in Petunia Pop, Fresh Freesia, and Shy Shamrock. I finished it off with some adhesive-backed pearl gems in Petunia Pop.  I did not use a sentiment so can grab for several occasions as needed. 
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Pals Blog Hop For Love





Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “The Language of Love.” We hope our creations inspire you today! The lineup at the end of my post will help guide you to all the Pals participating today.









For today's blog hop, I designed two cards- One for my daughter and one for my son who both hold my heart! The first card starts with a Moody Mauve base and added layers of white card stock, Timeless Plaid DSP, a white square, and a Petal Pink banner cut from the Nested Essentials dies. I stamped the heart image from the Heart Shaped stamp set you can earn free with SAB now through Feb 28th 2025 in Flirty Flamingo ink. I then cut the Moody Mauve heart die from the Heart Shaped dies plus some flowers in Petal Pink, white and Flirty Flamingo card stock. I added a Flirty Flamingo twine bow. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Flirty Flamingo ink on the white banner. 
One the blue card, I used the same set, dies and DSP. I used Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, and Basic Beige card stocks. I used Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight inks. I finished with a linen thread bow. 



We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. We invite you to join us next month when our theme will be “Birthday Celebrations.”

Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I am sharing a card I designed yesterday with the new suite called Lovely Garden. This suite will be available March 4th 2025 when new online exclusives drop. I have a Garden Green base and then a layer of the Lovely Garden DSP. I then cut a white Spotlight On Nature circle and pop up my floral image stamped with the Thankful Garden stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the image in with my sponge daubers in Melon Mambo and Garden Green inks. I then cut it out with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment in black ink on the circle from the Textured Notes stamp set, also a new online exclusive coming next month. I finished with some glossy dots in Melon Mambo.

A Floral Blessing

 




I do not know the name of this fun fold so I will call it a tuxedo fold! I got the idea from my friend and fellow demo Brian King over at stampwithbrian.com  I have a white base cut 5 1/2" by 11". I scored on the long side at 3 3/4" and 8". I cut the corners to make the shape on both side. I cut then a piece of the SAB free DSP called Bloom Impressions at 3 1/4" by 5 1/2" and after adding to the right panel I snipped away the top and bottom edges. I then stamped the floral image from the Mixed Florals stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white card stock and colored with my Stampin Blends in Fresh Fressia, Granny Apple Green, Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight. I cut it out with the matching dies. I also cut the white Stylish Shape circle and the Fresh Freesia Spotlight On Nature detailed circle die. I stamped in Black ink the sentiment from the unbounded Love stamp set. I finished off with some free SAB sequin called Purple adhesive-basked sequin in Fresh Freesia. 
Hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

PP723 My Heart

 



I thought I would use the Heart Shaped bundle again for Ann's theme challenge of Love Is In The Air this week over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com  This time I wanted to layer the two die cut hearts in a butterfly kind of shape. I did cut the white card stock background and stamped the heart from the stamp set in Bubble Bath ink a few times and then layered the two Real Red die cuts on top plus some Bubble Bath flowers. I have Real Red rhinestones in the centers. I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink on a Bubble Bath label cut from same dies. I added some Real Red card stock to the white piece and layered on the Lighter Than Air DSP piece in Bubble Bath and the white base. 
Hope you have a beautiful week and thanks for stopping by!

I stamped the sentiment in black ink from the Mixed labels stamp set on the Bubble Bath label cut with the Mixed Labels dies. I wrapped some Bubble Bath ribbon around before attaching my label. I added some blooming pearls in pink to finish it off.

Happy Spring In A Teacup

 



I am really liking the Basic Beige card stock from SU!   Here I have a base and another piece of that card stock ran through the Eyelet embossing folder. I cut the frame from Storybook Friends dies as well in Beige and for the center piece I blended some Pretty In Pink ink with my blending brush. I used the sweet cupped mouse which is already cut from the Storybook Moments DSP in the center and added flowers and leaves cut from the Heart Shaped dies and Country flowers dies in Pretty In Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive card stocks. I stamped the sentiment from the Storybook Friends set in Pecan Pie ink on a Beige label cut with the Unbounded Love dies and a few antique pearls finished it off. 
Wishing you a beautiful week and thanks for stopping by!
