Two Tone Flora HB

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

It's a rainy, dreary day here in PA and I plan to do laundry and clean out the bedroom closet which really needs it! I have put that chore off way too long! Yesterday I went to the stamp show and we were in & out within 45 minutes. Not too much that caught our eye. Alot of my favorite vendors were not there. I was disappointed and walked out empty handed.

Today I have card #2 to share with you from last Saturday's Stamp Day w/ Friends get together. This one was a favorite!

Such pretty colors and those flowers are very fun to create!

Card Details:

Stamps: Two Tone Flora, Inspired Thoughts (retired)

Ink: Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen (retired)

Cardstock: Evening Evergreen, Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Basic White, Fancy Flora DSP (retired)

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)

Accessories: Two Tone Flora Dies, Genial Gems (retired), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

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!

Two Tone Flora

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was such a crazy busy day!

My dentist appt went well and then I went home and did some cleaning. I did not get it all finished since Shawn had an appt to see the dentist at 3. We were there for an hour. Turns out when he bit down on that pretzel last week it cracked the tooth that has a crown on. Thursday he will be going to an Oral Surgeon to have it extracted. *sigh*

So, today I have a card to share that I made last week. I am always in need for Thank You cards so I pulled out some Fancy Flora DSP and got to work using the Two Toned Flora Bundle.

Card Details:

Stamps: Two Tone Flora, Perched In A Tree (sentiment)

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Soft Seafoam, Soft Succulent

Cardstock: Soft Succulent, Soft Seafoam, Basic White, Fancy Flora DSP

Accessories: Something Fancy Dies, Two Tone Flora Dies, Timber 3D EF, Elegant Gems, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I pulled the colors from the DSP and used the Timber 3D EF on the Soft Seafoam panel to give my card some texture. So pleased with how it turned out!

Well, I need to get my cleaning finished up this morning then grab a shower since I have my 6 month doctor appt tonight. Ughhh, i'm ready for this week to be over already!

More Customer Thank You's

 Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday we had some beautiful sunny weather but that breeze kept it on the cool side. Nonetheless it still felt like spring was in the air! Today it's to be a bit better!

Last Saturday I made my way to my stamp table for a short time and I wanted to get a jump start on some customer Thank You cards. I pulled out a favorite stamp set and got busy!

Two Tone Flora is such a pretty set and I am hoping it will carry over into our new Annual Catalog in May.

Everything on these cards is current except for the Tasteful Textile 3D EF on the Petal Pink panel. It is my absolute favorite embossing folder ever! I love that it adds texture without being the focal point of the card. It retired a year ago but let me say....I still use it all the time! 

The florals & greens on this card are so pretty....I just do not think you could go wrong with it! I pulled the colors for my flowers & greens from the piece of Fancy Flora DSP. 

Card Details:

Stamps: Two Tone Flora, Go To Greetings

Ink: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam

Cardstock: Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Basic White, Fancy Flora DSP

Accessories: Tasteful Textile 3D EF (retired), Two Tone Flora Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, White Glittered Ribbon, Milky Dots (Petal Pink), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These cards remind me of spring and the pretty colors!

I'm looking forward to seeing all those spring flowers that will soon be bloomed!
