Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp Class - Card 1

I had a class that focused on the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. We made eight cards, two each of four different designs. Today I am sharing the first design. It uses Orchid Opulence, Mellow Moss and Whisper White cardstock, Cottage Wall designer paper and Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot ribbon (turned over). With the color changes coming in July I need to use up my papers and what better way to do it than in a class! 

Until next time, happy stamping!

More Sweet Pea Paper!

Sweet Pea designer paper and the Scallop Border punch, which is no longer available but hopefully it will make it into the new catty in July! So stay tuned!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Circle Paper Flowers!

As I was stalking my usual favourite blogs I came across one that showed how to make flowers out of our circle punches. I can't remember whose idea it was, but thank you!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Extra Large Bird Punch!

We were given the milk cartons and the fancy favour box by our Team Leader and challenged to decorate them. Here is what I came up with. The milk carton die and the x-large bird punch are both in the Spring Mini so be sure to get them while you can! Oh and don't forget the sweet pea designer paper...have I mentioned how much I like it?

Until next time, happy stamping!

Sweet Pea Designer Paper...Love It!

I just love the Sweet Pea designer paper in the Spring Mini. So sad to see it go! Be sure to get yours before it is gone!

Until next time, happy stamping!

Big Shot Meets Metal!

I have discovered a new texture that can be used in the Big Shot...metal! I cut the top  note shape out first then I used the embossing folder. So cool!

Until next time, happy stamping!
