Summer Silhouettes

Good evening!  Here is a card I made for Mother's Day using one of my favorite stamp sets - Summer Silhouettes.  I also used some of the new cool Washi tape - how easy!!  I love it!  The ink colors used are Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Basic Black.  The sentiment is from my fav Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  You could use lots of different sentiments for this card  The black glimmer brad added a little pop to the card and just seemed to finish it off.  I got this idea from LeAnne Pugliese at weeinklings.blogspot.com.  Thanks so much for looking.

Make a Wish

Good evening.  I hope everyone is doing good.  I needed to make a few quick birthday and Mother's Day cards last week so I CASE'd this card from LA Stamper on Stampin' Connection.  I used one of the new 2013-2015 In-colors called Strawberry Slush and Basic Grey and I loved the two colors together.  This was a flower from a promo stamp set last summer but the great thing about this card is that you can stamp just about anything on here and it would look great.  You can't really tell from the photo but I put Dazzling Details in the center of each flower which really made the flowers stand out.  I finished off the card with some Basic Grey 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon.
Thanks so much for looking!

Mixed Bunch

Good morning.  I haven't posted in a week or so because I haven't been stamping much at all........it has been too gorgeous here lately to stay inside!!  Yay!  Spring (well - actually summer weather!) is here!  Yippee Skippee - I LOVE the sun!!!

Here is a great bouquet I made recently for a friends birthday - I love how it turned out.  I used the ink colors Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit.  The cardstock colors are Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Midnight Muse. The flower centers are the 2012-2014 In-color Dahlias.  I attached the flowers to some wooden skewers and then stuck them into a block of floral foam I had squished down into the bucket.  I then filled the bucket with some yummy Lindor balls.  I put a strip of Midnight Muse around the bucket and then adherered a piece of Summer Starfruit 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon onto it.  It was a little work but so so worth it.  I will definitely be making more of these!!

Enjoy the day!
