Forever Parisian Blossoms

Today’s project features products from the Parisian Blossoms Suite!

I am absolutely in love with the Parisian Blossoms Suite of products! I chose not to add a sentiment to this card, as it can be used to just send a note or I can stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card when I’m ready to use it!

The bow was a last-minute addition – the card really doesn’t need it! But I love the ribbon so much, I just couldn’t resist!

I colored the cherry blossoms with my Petal Pink Light/Dark and Soft Sea Foam Light/Dark Stampin’ Blends – easy peasy! The Eiffel Tower piece is glued down and the cherry blossoms are popped up on dimensionals.

Masculine Amour Valentine

Today’s project is the Valentine I made for my hubby! But it would be great for an anniversary card too!

It’s a clean and simple card with a masculine feel! The die-cut “Amour” comes from the Parisian Dies in the Mini Catalog; the stitched heart comes from the Be Mine Stitched Dies; and the embossed gears come from the Garage Gears Dies!

While the Garage Gears Dies are intended to cut gears, I used my retired Big Shot embossing mat accessories to leave an embossed look on the heart – LOVE!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

  • Gray Granite card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded in half at 5-1/2″
  • Basic Black layer – 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Real Red layer – 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″
  • Basic Black strip – 1″ x 3-5/8″

Dressed to Impress Gift Tags

Today’s post is a quick share of the party favor tags I made for my daughter’s 7th birthday party! She had a “spa-tacular” party this past weekend where she and her friends were pampered with facials, mani/pedi, hair up-dos, and a little bit of makeup. They also got to make their own sugar scrub. So much fun! Here’s Lillie enjoying her mini-facial:

I had fun putting together a little party favor for the girls – Amazon to the rescue!

Inside the zipper bag is an assortment of fun, girly stuff! Here’s a closer look at the tag:

I had fun layering punches with these tags! The sentiment from Dressed to Impress is stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and punched out with the Label Me Fancy Punch. Then I stamped the floral image from the Label Me Pretty stamp set in Highland Heather onto Highland Heather cardstock and punched it our with the Pretty Label Punch. Then I punched out a blank from Purple Posy with the Label Me Lovely Punch. These three punches layer SO well together!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

Seriously The Best Flowering Foils

Today’s project is a sneak peek of an upcoming Sale-A-Bration item – the Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper!

This particular pattern is white with silver foil, so you can customize it any way you like with our Stampin’ Blends! It’s stunning without any color too!

For this card, I opted to use the following Stampin’ Blends:

  • Dark Lovely Lipstick
  • Dark Bermuda Bay
  • Dark Basic Black

It’s amazing how easy it is to color this paper with Stampin’ Blends! The Stampin’ Blends don’t leave color on the foil, so it’s REALLY EASY to stay in the lines! And so relaxing and therapeutic too!

For the sentiment, I heat embossed the “thanks” sentiment with silver embossing powder using the Seriously The Best stamp set. Then a trio of rhinestones finishes the card – yay!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

  • Bermuda Bay card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded in half at 5-1/2″
  • Basic Black layer – 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Flowering Foils DSP layer – 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″
  • Basic Black sentiment layer – 1″ x 3-3/4″

Label Me Bold Birthday

Today’s project features the Label Me Bold stamp set paired with some quick & easy stamping!

What do you do when you need some inspiration? My first stop is my craft space and, if inspiration doesn’t happen, then I visit Pinterest! This card is a CASE of THIS CARD that I fell in love with on Pinterest!

I love to recreate cards with Stampin’ Up! products! All I needed to create this card was the Label Me Bold stamp set, my ‘G’ Clear Block and some yummy colors – easy peasy, but packs a punch!

All you do is stamp your clear block directly onto a stamp pad, then directly onto your project – SO EASY!
