Do More of What Makes You Happy

Do More of What Makes You Happy!!
Isn’t that a perfect saying.
Now if we would just all follow it the world
might be a better place.
This was another swap card I received from
Betty Saccocia.  It uses the Botanical Gardens designer paper.
This designer paper has lots and lots of flowers
and it has a coordinating stamp set — Botanical Blooms.
It is so cool — you can use the stamp set to
stamp right on the designer paper.
Betty didn’t do it on this card but you could use
the fern stamp with Mossy Meadow ink and fill
in the lines on the ferns — so cool and gives you
a completely different look.

Betty SoccociaThe card base is Black 4 1/4″ x 11″.
Add a piece of the designer paper 4″ x 5 1/4″.
Use the Circle Collection Framelits to cut out
Cajun Craze and Mint Macaron circles. 
Stamp the words from Hello Life with
Black ink.  Stamp the butterfly on Mint Macaron
with Black ink and cut out with Paper snips.
Color the butterfly in with So Saffron marker
and add a little Wink of Stella (love that stuff).

Just for You Flowers

Have you checked out the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets yet?
The Botanicals for You set is a fabulous set.
You can make quick cards that are gorgeous.
This is a card I received in a swap last week.
It was made by fellow demonstrator, Karen Reed.
I love the different textures she added.
Karen Reed
The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Blackberry Bliss.
Then she added a layer of Smoky Slate that was embossed
with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder.
She wrapped some Black Baker’s Twine around three
times and tied a bow — so cute.
She stamped the “Just for You” with Blackberry Bliss ink on
a Whisper White oval and then punch out some
Pink Pirouette flowers using the
Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.
Don’t forget to add some Rhinestones in the center of
the flowers. 
So quick and easy but the recipient will love it.
