No Sentiment Cards

 Good Morning & Happy Sunday, Everyone!

I hope your having a nice weekend!

It got hot here again yesterday and I had to turn the AC back on. 

Poor Bailee was panting her butt off and after supper I closed the windows and turned it on. It was nice couple of days with refreshing temps but that has come to end atleast for another week. 

Today I have a set of cards to share that I normally would not make these for myself but Audrey requests them quite a bit. On days that I have nothing planned I work ahead.

This set uses the Two Tone Flora set that I really like!

I started with 3 different patterns of the Country Gingham DSP measuring 4 x 5 1/4.

I used this template to make my markings before cutting. I made my DSP bigger than what is said on the template and either way you still keep the same markings.

I then cut all 3 sheets at the same time with my paper trimmer.

Once that was done I laid them on to a piece of white cardstock measuring 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered them down for perfect placement. Then I moved on to my stamping & diecutting.

I wanted to keep everything as flat as I could so I glued my flowers & leaves directly to my layer of DSP. I added some Genial Gems for a pop of sparkle and attached my DSP layer to the card base. The cardbases are: Mint Macaron, Petal Pink & Sweet Sorbet. I did 2 of the Petal Pink & Sweet Sorbet to make a pack of 5.

Card Details:

Stamps: Two Tone Flora

Ink: Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink & Mint Macaron (retired)

Cardstock: Sweet Sorbet, Petal Pink, Mint Macaron (retired), Basic White, Country Gingham DSP (retired)

Although these cards look quick & easy they took some time to stamp & diecut all the different pieces. I could always add a sentiment if need be but for now I left them blank.

Yesterday Shawn & I took a trip over to L&L Rubber Stamps in Ephrata, PA.

It's a stamp store run by a Mennonite lady whom has become very friendly with us over the years. I really love going there but don't get to go as much as I use too. I purchase my envelopes, adhesives and whatever goodies I can find there. Her store is loaded with so many different goodies....I was in awe of the beautiful Fall & Christmas papers she had. I fought with myself on whether to buy them but I left them for someone else as I have SO much in my stash as it is. After that we made a quick trip the an antique store then headed home. It was a good day!
