Lovely Arrangements Bundle – Birthday Card

by

I have another card for you using the new In Colors.  
Today I am using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle with the Bloom Boutique Designer Paper.

I started with a thick piece of White cardstock cut 5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″.
I cut a piece of the beautiful designer paper 4″ X 5-1/4″ and glued it to the card base.
I cut another piece of the designer paper 2-1/4″ X 5″ and glued it to the card.
Next, take a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and cut three thin rectangles using the dies in the set.  I glued them towards the middle.
I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped the flowers in black memento ink.
I used the Crisp cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Hydrangea Hue Blend markers.  Color aroud the inside of the petals in the darker shade and Use the lighter shade to draw out the color and finish the petals.  I used blue and cantaloupe for the centers of the flowers.
Cut the flowers out with the matching dies.  I used a dimensional in the center back of the flower and layered them together.
I cut out the leaves in the new Peaceful Pine cardstock and glued them behind the flowers.
Stamp the saying on white cardstock using black memento ink  Cut out the saying with the small rectangle die.
Cut a piece of Cantaloupe with the oval die.  Glue the two together and add to the card with dimensionals.
I added the 2026-2028 In Color dots to embellish the center of the flowers and the ends of the saying.
I hope you can see the flecks of metallic on the flowers in the designer paper. It really sparkles.  I love this paper.
Here is a look at the products.

Service Essentials

by

Today I am taking a different approach to Valentine’s Day.  
I belong to a Community Club that takes this week and always thank our First Responders.  We make snack boxes/baskets and take them to our local Police Dept and Fire Dept. and thank them for their service.  We always deliver them before Valentine’ Day so they feel the love.

So today, I am using our new Service Essentials stamps and dies. Take a look.There are great sentiments and you can use them for Military, Red Cross, your Heros, and in my case, First Responders.
We haven’t had a new Military set in a while, so I scooped this one up right away.
I love that it came with matching dies.  You can buy them separately or bundle them for a 10% savings.
Here is the Item # 167438. $40.50.
