Floral Phrases - 'Thoughtful' Card


I am very lucky to be able to show you this card! :o) I took the photos and left the card on my desk .... turned my back for just a couple of seconds ..... and it was gone! Straight into the jaws of a very determined Yorkshire Terrier! 

Ted is gradually clearing my desk .... and work space  ..... of everything that he can fit in his mouth! I have to be so careful these days to not leave anything in his reach. He can now jump from the floor to my desk ... he likes to lie in the window and bark at all who dare to walk by. And ... when no-one does, he looks for other distractions ..... my stuff! :o) BUT ... at least I had already taken the pics :o)


For this card, I cut into my pack of Floral Boutique DSP! The papers are beautiful. All are Night of Navy and White and coordinate with the stamp set so well.

I used a couple of our new Layering Circles Framelits for the sentiments. I do miss our Scallop Circle punches, BUT these framelits are fabulous! They layer beautifully. I love that you can use them so that you can get this wonderful narrow border of scallops around the circle mat ..... or if you prefer wider borders - you can do that too, just by selecting a different framelit. I love the narrow ..... so I'm happy :o)

Botanical Blooms - Team Training - Make & Take


This is the project my Team made as the Make & Take this month at our meeting.

It uses some of the beautiful Pop of Pink Specialty DSP. This paper is fabulous! It's a mix of Black, White and Melon Mambo ..... with two sheets having gold foil on them.



I used the lovely Botanical Blooms stamp set and matching framelits to decorate it, together with the Timeless Textures stamp set. 

You create the bag from a sheet of 12" x 12" paper - with additional strips for the top of the bag.

It's a perfect bag to hold that special gift for a friend. I've also sized it so that our standard sized European cards and envelopes will fit inside :o)

Floral Phrases - Clean & Simple Thanks Card


Now here is a quick card :o) 

I purchased the wood mount Floral Phrases stamp set and used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the beautiful border image exactly where I wanted it. 

I used the 'Thanks' sentiment again ..... only because of all the lovely sentiments in this set, this is the one I would use the most :o)


Very quick, clean and simple ..... you don't have to use loads of product to make a beautiful card. If you have the right stamp set, it will do it all for you :o)
