Spider mums & Pocketful of Posies

close up of the Pocketful of Posies card included in the little notebox cards from yesterday! I love how pretty these flowers are. The spider mums are one of my favorites! I used markers to color in the blooms, blending the colors together to give it variation....

This paper is perfect for this stamp set, since one of the papers has the spider mum on it! I used versamark to do a background pattern on the Perfect Plum cardstock combined with Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.

Friends Never Fade

A pocketful of posies....not sure why they call this paper that name but it has a ethereal look with some lovely prints. I like the geometric look along with the romance of flowers and the birds...

This was my inspiration to make a box that holds some cute little notes

I grouped it with Friends Never Fade, and it coordinates so nicely with the paper! You can also use it with other floral sets as well, and not limited to just the florals!

Just add Cake!

I have been using the M-S scoring board, and although I love how it has the lines close together, I miss my other scor- board that had a ridge on the right side as well as the left. It made it easier to scor your cardstock regardless if you're left or right. I also miss the little triangle marks on the top and the dots so that you can make a perfect tri-fold card, or gate fold card without THINKING!.....But this M-S scor board is a nice...if you don't have the other one.

This card, is another card adapted from Mary Fish's site but I changed the colors, and added designer paper...I used Delightful Daffodil, Poppy Parade, and Peach Parfait! What a cute bright color combination, and it goes well with Just Add Cake Designer Paper.

The stripe ribbon also sets off the design of the stripes, and the scallop border around the paper also frames it!

{ART}ichokes?

{Art}ichokes can be art-tistic! I wasn't impressed with this set at first, but I saw some samples on Mary Fish's blog and love love love them now! I like how you can make them "oooh la la!" by only using black ink! no coloring!

Then setting them off with a pinking hearts punch border, and on Crumb Cake cardstock, it is just simple artistic artichokes!

(try to say that fast!)

HAPPY 4th of July!
Celebrate our Independence, and be safe!
