Boutique Blossoms - Happy Mother's Day

Hello Stampers,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! I wanted to share the card I made for my mom.

I started with a scrap piece of Basic White Cardstock where I stamped the large rose from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe Ink, before die-cutting it out along with 2 solid Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock roses & several leaves using Peaceful Pine Cardstock. On the stamped rose, I used the Stampin' Blends Crisp Cantaloupe Combo Pack (light) to color around the rose where it had a  white border. Next, I used the Scalloped Bloom Dies to die-cut a scalloped circle made from Basic White Cardstock, adding a sentiment from the retired Heartfelt Hellos with Crisp Cantaloupe Ink. To assemble, I started with a Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock base, followed by a layer of Bloom Boutique DSP before adhering all the die-cut pieces with Multipurpose Glue & the stamped rose was popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Lastly, I added several Loose Gold Sequins to finish the card, these sequins are on the last chance list.

Paradise Garden - You Are Appreciated

Hello Stampers,
Today I opted to make a monochromatic card which I feel I haven't done in a while, but it is a great way to use colors you may not otherwise use.

I started with a Basic White Cardstock base & used the Garden Poetry DSP for the 3 strips. Next, I used the Paradise Garden Stamp Set to stamp the leaf stamp onto Basic White Cardstock using Shaded Spruce Ink, which was then added to a layer of Shaded Spruce Cardstock. I made my own little pot from Shaded Spruce Cardstock & stamped it with the small line stamp from the set to add some decoration. I stamped a sentiment from the set onto Basic White Cardstock, punched it out using the 3 Banner Punch & added it to the focal image with Stampin' Dimensionals. I used a few retired Delightful Decorative Dots in Shaded Spruce to finish the card.

Flowers Fair - Here's To A New Chapter

Hello Stampers,
I recently saw a card that Sandi MacIver made where she embraced the white. I have a hard time leaving a large white space on my cards instead thinking of ways to fill in as much as possible. While her card was more black & white with a pop of color using die-cuts, mine has more color I hope it still conveys that I took a chance on "embracing the white" LOL!

I started my card using Basic White Cardstock, then stamped the Flowers Fair Stamp using Memento Black Ink about 1-1.5 inches from the top, then colored the image in using Hydrangea Hue, Lemon Lolly & Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Combo Packs. For the sentiment, I used the Sending Salutations Stamp Set using Memento Black Ink again. The focal point was then layered onto Lemon Lolly & Hydrangea Hue Cardstocks. Lastly, I added a few 2026-28 In Color Butterflies in Hydrangea Hue to finish the card.

Diamond Flap Card - Old Friends Are The Best Friends

Hello Stampers,
OMG, happy May everyone! Today's card is a fun fold card called the Diamond Flap Card that I thought would be cute to go with the Sweet Old Friends set that officially debuts tomorrow. YAY!

I started this card using Barely Blush Cardstock, then added layered it with the Silly Old Bear DSP. For the diamonds, I used Basic White Cardstock then used the Sweet Old Friends Stamp Set to stamp Pooh & Piglet using Memento Black Ink, before coloring them in using Golden Glow, Barely Blush & Hydrangea Hue Stampin' Blends Combo Packs & added some doodles to the outer edges with the Black Journaling Pen. I added sentiments from the Sweet Words & Labels Stamp Set to both diamonds using Memento Black Ink again. 
This is what the card looks like fully open.
