Thinking of You

Hello & Happy Saturday!

Quick update then we have a busy day ahead on this Memorial Day weekend.

It's crazy how hot & humid it is outside but I guess that's why they call it the start of the summer season. I call it yukky!

Anyways, here's another card that was made with the Botanical Builder Framelits. I really love those dies! 

The sentiment comes from the SaleABration set Party Pants from 2016.

Stamps: Party Pants SAB 2016

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Cajun Craze, Whisper White, Botanical Gardens DSP

Botanical Blooms HB

Hello & Happy Friday!

It's the start to the Memorial Day weekend!!

 They are calling for hot & humid weather thru the weekend with a chance of storms. I suppose my AC will be getting a good bit of use the next few days!

Yesterday I had a chance to sit and play with a stamp set that my friend let me borrow. I recently purchased the Botanical Garden DSP to use with it. I made a few cards which I will share in the coming days. 

This one is my favorite!

I love the tropical flowers and pretty colors in the paper too!

Definitely gives a summertime feel, doesn't it?

I've seen Patty Bennett make this type of card with a 4x4 piece of designer series paper and cut it on an angle to allow space in between on the card for your sentiment! Such a brilliant idea! 

I used a sentiment from the Rose Wonder stamp set which fit perfectly inside the space. I diecut a beautiful tropical flower in Cajun Craze and placed it beside my sentiment. Easy peasy!!

Botanical Blooms Happy Birthday Card:

Stamps: Rose Wonder (sentiment)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Hello Honey, Cajun Craze

Accessories: Botanical Builder Framelit, White Pearl, Tombow Liquid Glue

Love it and hope you do too!

That is all I have for today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great day!

Masculine Birthday

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

I made up a few masculine cards for an order recently using retired designer series paper called Adventure Bound. I only had a few scraps left in certain prints but that was all I needed to make my cards.

Masculine Cards:

Stamps: sentiment from Guy Greetings

Ink: Early Espresso, Island Indigo

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Smoky Slate, Adventure Bound DSP Paper Pad (retired)

Accessories: Hexagon Punch (to make flag ends), Gold & Silver Metallic Buttons, Early Espresso & Island Indigo Baker's Twine, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

That's all for me today!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!
