Gingham Easter Lilies

I had to wait to share this until after Easter so that the people receiving them wouldn’t see them ahead of time. Even though Easter is over, you can still make these cards…just change the sentiment to whatever you need. Even though some of these products are from Sale-a-Bration and are no longer available, I know several people that have these items. If you weren’t able to get your hands on them, you can always substitute with products you already have.

I have always loved the look of vellum on cards. So reminiscent of the cards I used to receive as a child from my mother. She knew how much I loved the crinkly sound of it. These cards use the soft, pretty colors from the Gingham Gala 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper Stack (available in the Occasions catalog) as my inspiration. I glued the lilies and sentiment onto the vellum, then placed adhesive onto the back of the vellum on the spots where the lilies and sentiments are. This way, when gluing the vellum layer onto the DSP, no adhesive shows through. I hope everyone liked the colors I chose for them!

These quick and easy cards start with a Whisper White Notecard layered with the amazingly beautiful Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (SAB). Wrapped around that is a piece of Daffodil Delight from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack (SAB). That is topped with a sentiment from the Part of My Story (SAB) stamp set die cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits. Did you catch the pattern here? These cards showcase three of the products you can earn for free!

Delightfully Sponged Notecard

Sometimes a quick and easy card is what you need. This one packs just the right amount of “WOW” with the sponging behind the laser-cut specialty paper. I chose 3 new core colors from the Subtles Ink Collection:

A stamped sentiment die cut with elements of faux stitching gives it a fancier feel. It was great getting my fingers inky with the sponging and I really enjoyed making this card!

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes
Specialty Paper:  Delightfully Detailed
Ink:  Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam

Blushing Bride Tulips

Oh my! I’ve made a few cards already using the new Varied Vases stamp set (you can see them here and here)…but this is the first time using the coordinating punch! These little tulips are just darling and the Mini Dimensionals fit perfectly on them. Everything mini is automatically adorable and this sweet little 3” x 3” card epitomizes it. The stamp set and punch will be available as a bundle to save you 10% starting June 1^st. Counting down the days!

Here are some alternate views to try and show the tulip and vase popped up with the Dimensionals. It’s so hard to capture!

Stamp Set:  Varied Vases
Cardstock:  Balmy Blue, Whisper White
Ink:  Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz
Lovelies:  Silver & Whisper White Bakers Twine
Tools:  Vases Builder Punch

More Varied Vases Color Combinations

I am absolutely in love with the Varied Vases stamp set. I am equally in love with the layout of these cards, which I first did in my previous blog that you can see here. I have been thinking about varying color combinations and I am loving each one of these for differing reasons. I am also declaring right now that Gray Granite is my new favorite Neutral color! It provides a quiet background that allows all the other colors to shine through. I can’t wait for you to see these gorgeous colors in person – mark your calendars for June 23 so you can come to my New Catalog Kick-Off party! I’ll have more details for you soon!

This one really makes the Blueberry Bushel pop. Such a saturated, vibrant color!

Stamp Set: Varied Vases
Cardstock: Blueberry Bushel, Gray Granite, Powder Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Gray Granite, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink
Lovelies: Share What You Love Artisan Pearls
Tools: Softly Falling Embossing Folder, Big Shot
And this one makes the Mango Melody pop. When I first ordered the new colors, I wasn’t too thrilled with Mango Melody. I knew I’d love it once I actually got my hands on it, though. I was right!

Stamp Set: Varied Vases
Cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Whisper White
Ink: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic Gray, Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie
