Expressions in Ink - Thank you Card

Expressions in Ink - Thank you card

I used the Expression in Ink Suite to create these Thank you cards.

It was so easy! I heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder was so easy. I matted on Pear Pizzaz, or Shaded Spruce and love how these turned out. All 3 cards fronts were cut from the same piece of paper. I hope you will check out this beautiful suite of products in the new 2021-2022 Annual catalog. You will not be disappointed. Links to the products are at the bottom of this post.

I created this card to participate in Bruno and Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop. I hope you will check out the beautiful work from all of these talented people, by clicking on the links in the following list.

Quiet Meadow - any occasion card

Quiet Meadow bundle

Quiet Meadow all occasion cards ready for mailing

When I was a kid, my family lived in a neighborhood that didn't have sidewalks, and several of the side streets were not paved. We lived on one of those unpaved streets, and what a treat it was to have such a playground of mud puddles, and wild flowers growing about. My absolute favorite was the 1st of May, a day where as children we would pick those wild flowers, put them in paper cones, and deliver them to our neighbors front porches. We would ring the bell, then run and hide....watching from behind a bush as the flowers were discovered and graciously accepted by the ladies that lived on our street.

One of those wild flowers was a flower we called Bachelor Buttons. As soon as I saw the Quiet Meadow bundle, I spotted this flower die and I fell in love! All those childhood memories came flooding back. I wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

I enjoyed every moment of creating this card. All of the stamps and dies used came from this bundle.

Quiet Meadow is a new stamp and die set that is available tomorrow, May 4th, in the new 2021-2022 Annual catalog!

I used 3 of the new In-colors that will also be available tomorrow, May 4th.

This card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with a top fold.

The Soft Succulent mat layer is 4" x 5 1/4"

The Basic White layer is 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

When stamping the background Basic White cardstock, I stamped off once for the Soft Succulent areas, and stamped off twice for the Fresh Freesia flowers. I suggest practicing on a scrap of paper till you accomplish the look that you want for your background.

I sponged a little Soft Succulent ink on the stems of the Soft Succulent leafy stem piece, just to give it a bit of dept.

To create the flower at the top of stem, I cut the first layer in Evening Evergreen, then cut just the flower portion again in the Fresh Freesia. Trimmed the base of the flower, and adhered it atop of the first layer of flower, giving the Fresh Freesia just a small pop out from the stem.

I used White Crinkle Seam Binding for the bow, and colored it with the Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends.

Tomorrow you will be able to purchase this Quiet Meadow bundle at my online store link

Stay safe and be well,

Prized Peony for Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop

Remembering Velma with Prized Peony

Thank you to everyone that voted for my card, allowing me a spot in this winners hop!

Below, is a list of links to the blogs of the winners from the Kylie Bertucci International Blog Highlights for April. Please do click on each of the links to be inspired by the lovely work from all of the winning participants.

Remembering Velma with Prized Peony

Some years ago, my friend Velma, grew the most amazing peonies! I absolutely loved them when the morning dew glistened on them, or when they stood out proud and happy against a bright blue sky. There were several flower beds of these peonies, and my daughters and I though they were the most romantic flower ever. As our friend aged and she needed to move, I was given the opportunity to collect some of the peonies and plant them in my garden. Eventually, as my daughters had their own homes, they received their share of the peonies as well.

Those peonies were the inspiration for this card. When the new 2021-2023 In- Colors were introduced, I knew immediately that Polished Pink was going to make a PERFECT match to those peonies that I loved so much. The Polished Pink ink will be available to purchase on May 4th. Everything else is current product available for purchase now.

Here are the details to help you recreate this card:

This card is a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" with a top fold.
DSP is 4" x 5 1/4" - Hint: I used daubers and Early Espresso ink to cover the white cut edge of the paper
I used regular weight Basic White card stock for the flowers
I cut apart 1vellum doily as a nod to the lace doilies that Velma had throughout her home.

The links for the supplies used to create this card are at the end of this post.

Pretty Perennials - Happy Mail

Pretty Perennials Thank You card

I love Daffodil Yellow and Granite Grey together!. Pair that combo with Basic white, and the colors look fresh and well balanced.

With Spring officially here, I chose bright happy flowers for my customers Thank you card this month. My latest card features Pretty Perennials Stamp and Die bundle from the January - June Mini catalog.

This card oozes texture! Starting with the white layer textured with the Tasteful Texture embossing folder, then a side strip of Grey Granite textured with one of the Greenery embossing folders.

Follow up with layers of die cut leaves, 2 layers of flowers and finish up with the Matte Black Dots!

I fussy cut the "happy" as well as the "mail". Flowers and sentiments are popped up with dimensionals.

I am participating in a Blog Hop associated with a Demonstrator training program that I am enrolled in. Please take the time to be inspired by each of these demonstrators that have shared their work this month, by clicking on the links in this list. Enjoy!

Art Gallery Thank You card

Art Gallery Thank You Card

Both my husband and I love flowers. John will buy 3-4 bundles of flowers and bring them home for me to arrange in a favorite vase. I loved finding the focal point and setting the vase "just so". For this card, I loved arranging the florals.... but the focal point, is the "Thank You".

I have been blessed with the absolutely best customers! and I really love to send them Thank you cards.

Let me tell you a little about this card:

Base is Basic White 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"

the embossed layer is 4" x 5 1/4"

I used stitched layers dies for the two circles

I used 3 sets of the same die cut flower arrangement, and cut them apart to create this layout.

Then I generously applied the Artistry bloom sequins.
