Terrific Tulips

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

This morning my girls are off to Doggy Day Spa!
They really need it as they've not been there since the beginning of February.
They will look amazing once they are done!

Today I have a set of cards to share that I made for the last card order for my card lady. This uses the old retired set called Terrific Tulips! 
Do you remember that set???
It is definitely an oldie but a goodie!






My tulips are stamped with Melon Mambo ink and this is a 2 step stamping set. The first layer of ink I stamped off on my scrap paper for a lighter look. Then I stamped the more detailed parts with full ink. The leaves are done the same way except with Old Olive ink.
My little butterfly is a diecut from the Nature's Thoughts Dies.
Lastly, I added some rhinestones because my card lady loves the added sparkle!

Card Details:

Stamps: Terrific Tulips (retired)
Ink: Melon Mambo, Old Olive
Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Melon Mambo DSP
Accessories: Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Nature's Thoughts Dies, Tasteful Textile 3D EF, Rhinestones, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


As you can see I used 2 different Melon Mambo DSP's.
I could not make up my mind on which side to use so I used the polka dots on some and the denim washed look on the other 3.
I really love them both!
Which do you like?

Springtime Tulips

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Wasn't yesterday a beautiful day with the brilliant sunshine and temps hitting 80 degrees!? 
That kind of weather puts a spring in your step!
Since I have been under the weather & throwing my back out of wack in the last few weeks I spent the day working on getting some housework done that's been on the back burner.
Today we are in for another 80 degree day with some rain this evening and then our temps will drop back to normal. Hope you get to enjoy it while it's here!


I have the last pack of cards to share that I made my customer.
She asked for 4 packs and in trying to keep them springy, this is what I created for her.

The stamp set I used is Terrific Tulips.....definitely an oldie but a goodie!!



Since Terrific Tulips is a 2 Step stamp set I kept this very simple with my flowers in Blushing Bride and Old Olive for the stems & leaves. I added a piece of Blushing Bride Twine that I tied around my white panel and finished with a simple bow. Nothing was popped up. The sentiment comes from the Easter Blossoms stamp set which is also retired.
I kept wanting to add to my card...rhinestones, pearls, butterflies...but in the end "less is more" won out!


Happy Easter Card Set:

Stamps: Terrific Tulips, Easter Blossoms (sentiment)
Ink: Blushing Bride, Old Olive, Basic Black Archival
Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Whisper White
Accessories: Blushing Bride Twine, Stamp A Ma Jig, 2 Sided Tape


I actually like how simple this card is and so pretty in these colors!
