My 5 Petal Flower

I love to put big flowers on cards for the centerpiece. This 5 petal flower is so easy to make! Got your Stampin' Up! punches ready?



You need the scallop punch and circle punches (1, 1 1/4, and 1 3/8).

First, cut out 5 one inch circles for your petals. Then punch out one scallop punch for the center.

Adhere the 5 one inch circles all around the scallop and it should look like my photo below.

Flip it over and you've got a nice large 5 petal flower! Layer the center with a 1 3/8 inch circle and 1 1/4 inch circle.

I gave my flower a little dimension by adding pop-dots between the scallop and the 1 3/8 inch center. If you have any questions, please e-mail me! Once I learn how to post tutorials on my sidebar, I will post this one. It's a good one to keep around, don't you think?

Just a reminder, first time Stampin' Up! orders get -20% off!!!!

Back to work today! When I woke up this morning, I thought it was Sunday for a few seconds. How bad is that?

I made this card over the weekend. You can never have too many birthday cards on hand, right? The background was done with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. Then I used an Inkadinkadoo Birthday Cupcake clear stamp and inked it up with Cat's Eye Chalk ink in Creamy Brown. I colored in the bottom part with my yellow Copic marker (Y15)and filled in the top with white Diamond Stickles. The brown glittery paper behind the cupcake is from DCWV and the "happy birthday" is a rub-on from Pebbles Inc. I hope you can see the shimmer on this card in the picture. Sometimes glitter is hard to catch with the camera.

Have a good Monday. God bless!

Inspiration from a Kleenex box

Today you are going to learn something new about me. I can be like Martha Stewart sometimes in the way I like things to match. I had horrible allergies this spring and was using tissues all day long. I needed a box to have in the car. I was shopping at Wal-Mart and had to pick a decorative Kleenex box to match my car. My car is dark gray with a medium gray interior. This box looks amazing in my car. I was on my way to my mother's last night I glanced over looking at the box on the seat. I thought to myself what a great color combination for a card - gray, denim, light & dark blue, turquoise, and pale yellow. My mind started working.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on Fiskars new Threading Water punch. I used that on the edge of this card and layered a narrow piece of pale yellow cardstock behind it. The leaves were done with my Sizzix. I cut out the leaves from dark cardstock first for the background shadow and then cut them on light blue and used the diecut to layer over the background. The patterned denim paper (Hot Off The Press) I've had for like 5-6 years and never used. It finally came in handy! The flowers are from Prima and Bazzill with a button in the center from Doodlebug. The cardstock is from my favorite company, Stampin' Up! Their cardstock is by far, the best I've ever used.

I hope your weekend was fun and you had time to create.

Take care and God bless!

Back from CKC Buffalo!

Hello all! I had a great time in Buffalo today at CKC. Very fun!!! I took a class sponsored by Paper Crafts Magazine called Pocket Full of Cards. The class taught how to incorporate pockets in your cards. Very clever, let me tell you! Here is a peak at one of the cards we made.

I would love to share more, but I'm exhausted. When I got home, my husband was spreading woodchips and had to leave for work. He wasn't done and it's supposed to rain tonight. Guess who got to finish? ME! I am not a fan of gardening work whatsoever. I'm already starting to feel sore. More tomorrow!

Oh, have you noticed anything different on my blog??? It has to do with my announcement I mentioned the other day. I'll tell you tomorrow.

Good night!

My baby!

I got my pictures back yesterday of my baby that were taken a few weeks ago. He's growing up fast!!! I still like to call him my baby even though he is a full blown toddler.

We are going to visit family this weekend and he'll have a blast playing with his 5 & 3 year old cousins. I'm sure it will give me lots of scrapbooking material!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend & I'll be back next week.

Be safe and God bless!
