Beautiful Bouquet for Mom

This card is one I made for a demonstrator swap I participate in each month.  The theme was Easter or Mother's Day.  I hadn't used the stamp set Beautiful Bouqet except for the wonderful image stamps that are a part of it, so this was the set that I determined to create a card using.

I love how the Stitched Rectangle Framelits add just that little bit of detail to a card front.  A "mother's day" tag tied off with a bit of Linen Thread finishes it off!

I hope I've inspired you to go and make a card!  If you need supplies, I'd welcome the opportunity to help you out.  Check out my SU! store to get all you need.

Flowers Awash Sneak Peak

Here's a Mother's Day card I made using the Flowers Awash stamp set that will be available for purchase in April. This 2-Step stamp set will be available in the new catalog when it is released in July, but you have a chance to get your hands on it 3 months earlier! It's a neat stamp set, and I'm having fun coming up with samples using it. It's available as both wood-mount or clear-mount, your choice!

For this card, I used the emboss-resist technique. Stamped the stem and flower image using Versamark ink and clear embossing powder onto Whisper White card stock. Then, I sponged the color of the flower and the stem and cut the flower out. I used a large metal-edge tag (with the center removed) underneath. The colors are Regal Rose, Mellow Moss, Apricot Appeal, and Whisper White. The "mother's day" stamp is from the set Teeny Tiny Wishes and punched out using the Modern Label punch. Scallop trim along both sides is done using the Scallop Trim Border punch that is available for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration, through this month. After that, you'll have to wait for the new catalog in July!
