P is for Paper Crafting

I am totally in love with the Stippled Blossoms stamp set by Stampin' Up! I just can't get enough of it! When I saw the card on Pinterest by Julie Gearinger I knew I had to try to make it! I got a little heavy on the sponging but still really like the way it turned out:)

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stock
• Stippled Blossoms and Papillon Potpourri stamp sets
• Early Espresso and Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pads
• Butterfly Punch
• Big Shot with Fancy Fan Embossing Folder and Finishing Touches Edgelits
• Other: Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Antique Brad, 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon

I look forward to trying this card again with a few changes of my own:) 

Tomorrow is the letter Q and I have another card for you! Now, how do I work another card in with the letter Q? You'll just have to check back to find out!

C is for Cupboard Trilogy Challenge

My Design Team project for The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge this month is an Easter card using the Stippled Blossoms stamp set! I love the way this card turned out--just like it looked in my head:) That's always a plus.

For this project I used the following Stampin' Up! products (some will be missing because I am at my daughter's and forgot my Stampin' Up! catalog--what was I thinking?!!!):

• Card stock: Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette and Raspberry Ripple
• Classic Stampin Pads: Always Artichoke, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Raspberry Ripple
• Stamp Sets: Stippled Blossoms; sentiment from retired Easter stamp set
• Other: Dimensionals (of course); 5/8" flower trim (Spring catalog); Basic Pearls

Oh, my! What will I come up with for the letter D?!!! You'll have to check back tomorrow to see:)

Have a great day!

Stippled Blossoms Mother's Day Card

Oh my! It seems I fell of the edge of the earth again:( Not really but have just had no energy and the Fibromyalgia pain was flaring up last week. Today is better but only marginally! I need to get my energy back for my visit to my daughter's next week!

Last Wednesday our Happy Stampers Club met. It was a small group this time but we still had a great time. Always lots of talking and laughing! This group really feeds my soul! Thank you ladies:)

One of the cards we made was using the Stippled Blossoms stamp set! All I can say is WOW! It is a two step stamp set so you stamp the solid image in the lighter color first then the darker color on the second image and stamp right on top of the first. It is truly striking! If you want to see a lot of different cards using this stamp set, go to Pinterest and type Stippled Blossoms in the search bar. The card above was CASed from Michelle Surette at I Stamped That and I found it on Pinterest! Thank you, Michelle for great card inspiration!

I just had to show a closeup of this gorgeous flower! Next month we are planning to do another card using the Stippled Blossoms stamp set only using Midnight Muse and Bashful Blue.

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Card stock: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Ripple
• Classic Stampin' Pads: Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Raspberry Ripple
• Stamp sets: Stippled Blossoms and Amazing Family
• Big Shot with Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder
• Other: Dimensionals (of course), 5/8" Flower Trim, Mini Glue Dots

I took three of the flowers off of the roll of 5/8" Flower Trim and smooshed them a little in the Raspberry Ripple ink pad to give them a little color. There are so many possibilities with the 5/8" Flower Trim!

I hope you enjoyed this card! Stippled Blossoms is definitely a stamp set that will get a lot of use around here!
