A Flowery Thank You

Love those big flower stamps and coordinating punches/dies many of the companies out there are selling? What a bold embellishment they can be. 

I used Stampin' Up! products from this past year Spring Occasions Catalog to create this card. 

Card Supplies - Thank you for your kindness:

Stamp Sets: Stampin Up - Petal Potpourri (retired - but still sold on ebay), Simon Says Stamp - Handwritten Greetings 

SU! Ink: Basic Black, Sahara Sand

SU! Cardstock: Whisper White, Sahara Sand

SU! Patterned Paper: Something Borrowed (retired)

I embellished the flower with a few pearls just to add a little more elegance. You can find all different size pearls at your local craft store. I like to keep a stock of these on-hand. I will tell you though that Stampin Up has a sale this week on the perfect set of pearls in ever size for just $3.75. Click HERE to view!

I made a purchase this week from a stamp company I never ordered from before! They recently had a release of new products and one particular product just put me over the edge. LOL!  Stay tuned . . . I will share my purchase with you once it arrives!

Happy stamping! 

I Have A Crush

Don't tell my husband, but I have Stampin' Up! in color Concord Crush! I've never been a big fan of purple until I got my hands on this new in color. You have to see it in person to truly appreciate the richness of this color. It truly looks like a concord grape. I think you'll find yourself with a little crush on it as well.

The design of this creation was inspired from the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA57) today. In celebration of Tiffany's Cardtique Hostess Week, I used patterned paper from the Designer Series Paper Pack - In Color (hostess level 1). With a purchase of $150+ this paper pack is yours free along with your choice of $15 in Stampin' Up! products.

Take note of the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch I used in the center of the card. It looks just like ribbon. This punch can be found on page 201 of the Idea Book & Catalog. I just love Stampin' Up! punches. What will they think of next?

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!
