Flowering Fields Birthday

Flowering Fields — I’m ready for them, how about you?
Today’s card features the Flowering Fields stamp set from the
Sale-a-Bration brochure.  It is a great stamp set to work with.
The color combination is one of my favorite happy color combo —
Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry.
Flowering FieldsThe card base is Rich Razzleberry with a layer of Whisper White.
Happy Birthday from Perfect Pairings stamp set,
this is another stamp set that you can choose free from the
Sale-a-Bration brochure when you place a $50 order, is stamped with
Rich Razzleberry ink.  We used the Honeycomb embossing folder
on Pear Pizzazz card stock.  Use the Oval Framelits for the Old Olive
and Whisper White ovals.  Stamp the flowers from Flowering Fields
stamp set (remember you can choose this set FREE with a $50 order)
with Memento ink.  I used a blender pen with Rich Razzleberry ink
for the flowers and Old Olive for the stems.
The banner is cut from the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum paper.
I used a sponge dauber and Rich Razzleberry ink to color the vellum.

Orange You Glad I Didn’t Say Banana

Today’s card reminds me of the grade school kid knock, knock joke.
Knock, Knock
Who’s There
Banana

Orange Thank YouReally, it’s an adorable Thank You Card.
I love the vintage leaf frills in the background and the
gold thread peaking out under the orange slices.
The card base is Old Olive with a layer of Tangelo Twist.
We stamped THANK YOU from the Apple of  My Eye stamp set
with Memento ink.  The frills background from the First Sight
stamp set with Old Olive ink.
The orange slices were stamped with Tangelo Twist (stamp off once)
and then punched out with the 2″ circle punch.
I wrapped the Gold Thread around my fingers 4 or 5 times
and attached to the back of one orange slice with dimensionals.
Attach the orange slices to the card front.

I even decorated the inside of this card — so cute.
Orange Thank You Inside
I stamped the “You’re the Sweetest” with Memento ink and
the orange slices again with Tangelo Twist ink (stamp off once
each time you stamp).

I think this is a great Thank You card.
I have a couple in the mail already.

Don’t forget this week’s WEEKLY DEALS — time is running out.

You’ve Got the World on a String

You’ve got the world on a string.
Isn’t that just a perfect saying.
I think today’s card would be perfect
for those teenagers in your life.
They are on top of the world and everything
is about them right now.
How could life be any better!!!!
Balloon Birthday
Isn’t this a fun color combination.  Real Red for the card base.
Across the middle is a layer of the new Shine On specialty designer
paper — it’s thick kraft paper and works great for boxes and
it also looks great on this card.
The banners up in the right corner are Bermuda Bay, Real Red and Kraft.
The globe image is from Going Global.
It’s one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Catalog,
which has surprised many of my stampers — it’s not my usual style
but it definitely speaks to me.  The image is stamped on
Bermuda Bay card stock with Bermuda Bay ink and then
punched out with the 2″ Circle Punch.
Did you check out those fun balloons.  They are from the
Balloon Celebration stamp set and…..
YUP, you guessed it, there is a coordinating punch
called Balloon Bouquet Punch.  It makes it quick and
easy to add balloons to all your birthday card.
Use the Bermuda Bay marker to draw the balloon strings.
