I’ve been doing a little playing with the Botanical Blooms stamp set
and I realized I didn’t share the Stampin’ Sisters Card Contest
winning card. It uses the Botanical Blooms Bundle.
Yes, Kim used all three items for her fabulous card.
Check this out.

Isn’t this beautiful — love the drape fold of the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
She used the Botanical Builder framelits to cut out flower pieces.
And if that is gorgeous enough, check out the inside of the card.

Don’t you just love how she has all the pop up flowers.
The flowers are attached to strips of Window Sheets.
Kim put a lot of time into making 52 of this card.
No wonder she came in first.
Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals
Today's card was one of the Stampin' Sisters Retreat Card Contest
swaps. Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals stamp sets
aren't sets that I would normally use together but I LOVE this card.
Unfortunately, I don't know who made this card
but the color combo is very striking — Island Indigo and Pool Party.
She started with the "blob" stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and
stamp it twice — once full strength and then again stamped
off, then stamped with Pool Party.
The streaked lines are stamped with Basic Gray.
Three different flowers from Petite Petals are stamped
one full strength Island Indigo, one stamped off
with Island Indigo and another stamped with
Pool Party. All three are punched out with the
Petite Petals Punch.
Celebrating 10 Years!!
I forgot to share this awesome card that I received at our Stampin' Sisters Retreat. A group of my friends made Tina and I both this adorable card to help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary of our Stampin' Sisters Retreat.

Gail made my card using Bermuda Bay and Tina's card was Calypso Coral. She used the Number of Years Stamp set. Isn't is wonderful — now check out the inside of the card.

I love the Party Pop Up Framelits — they make your card so special. Who doesn't love to receive a card that pops up when you open it.
Thank you Gail for making the cards for us. Thank you Gail, Tammy, Rorie, Clare and Katie for the special gift. That was so sweet of all of you. I know we will both put it to good use.
