Hello! It's been waaaaay too long since I've posted, but I'm hoping to get my mojo back!
Today's card is for the Flower Challenge at The Paper Plunge. I just received my box of Stampin' Up! new catalog sneak peek products today, but I also included a couple of current sets in my order. One of them was Flower Patch, with the coordinating framelits. I've been wanting this set for a while, but when I saw that it would be in the new catalog, I decided it was time to add it to my collection!
I have a friend with a birthday coming up, so rather than pull something from my stash, I knew it was time to make something new. Here's my card:
I've seen lots of these flowers stamped on white cardstock, but I thought I'd try stamping them on colored cardstock to get deeper colors. It's really a pretty simple card, but the layers add interest. Also, I added a bit more color with the Candy Dots on the "O"s and the Thick Baker's Twine bow.
I hope you like this card, and I promise to try to get back to posting more regularly! :)
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Hello and welcome back! I'm here today with my entry for the challenge at the Paper Craft Crew. Here's the sketch:

And here is my card:
I usually make standard sized A2 cards, but this sketch called for a square card. I cut my card base to 5-1/2" x 11" so that it would fit into a standard sized A9 envelope and wouldn't require extra postage like a square envelope. I built up my card front, and then cut the center circle out with a framelit. I cut a piece of Naturals Ivory cardstock to 5-1/4" square, placed it inside, and drew around the circle with a pencil so I could determine the placement of the stamp. I love this stamp set! And since it is photopolymer, I could see exactly where my penciled circle was. I added the party hat and balloon for a touch of color and then glued the inside into the card.
I have several friends with January birthdays, so one of them may just get this card in the mail this month!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
