and simple card that I made using the new Hello, Sailor stamp set and the High Tide Designer paper from the Occasions catalog.
This card uses Mary Jo’s sketch from the Technostamper weekly sketch challenge. I love the color combination of this designer paper and card. So the colors are:

Happy World Card Making Day!! I unfortunately won’t be making any cards today as I am visiting my daughter at college for Parents weekend. So will be watching football games and enjoying the college life again!
But I wanted to showcase this secret garden card that one of my Stampin’ Friends made a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely love this card!
It is a 5 1/4″ square card made with midnight muse and very vanilla cardstock. The flowers are stamped with daffodil delight and cut out with
the coordinating Secret Garden framelits. The leaves are stamped with marina mist. The butterfly is from the Papillon Potpourri set.
The designer paper is Print Poetry
from the spring catalog.
The ribbon is midnight muse.
Enjoy your day!! I hope everyone has a great day and receives a beautiful card for World Card Making Day!
Before we get started with the cards, I thought that I would share a pic of my summer office. As many of you know, I spend a good bit of my summer in Dennis on Cape Cod. I know it is a difficult life but someone has to manage the teenage children!
Today and yesterday have been perfect days. The humidity has finally broken and the temps are in the 70’s. Not too hot, not too cold. So I have moved my computer outside for today. It is very pleasant. I can hear the waves and the kids playing on the beach (also the parking lot, but I am choosing to block that out LOL).
Ok on to some card shares!! Yesterday I decided to play around with one of my favorite sets Field Flowers. I saw a card on Ann Schach’s site that I absolutely loved so changed it up a little for what I needed. Also – I wanted to use one of the new designer papers that I hadn’t opened yet…
So I used the Designer paper Etcetera which has the colors Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Pool Party and Very vanilla. I am really liking the Vintage look to this paper. One of my customer asked for a Vintage class – I think this might be the designer paper to use!
So the details of these cards:
1. the Card base is very vanilla with a layer of calypso coral cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″.
2. I liked the look of the old olive and pool party design as a background piece but then couldn’t decide which coordinating piece I liked better for the side.
3. On the first card – I used a strip of the calypso coral pattern, making sure that I lined up the victorian pattern in the middle of my strip. I love the look that these two papers together created and the way the seam of the two papers fell with the stripe in the coral paper. It looks as if the paper is torn!
But then I also like the Vintage look of the vintage newspaper piece. So I tried a 1 1/4″ strip of this piece with the background. I liked the two together but didn’t like the seam where the two pieces meet. So I added a piece of trim that I made using the scallop trim border punch.
4. The flowers and stems are stamped on a 2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of very vanilla card stock layered onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock. The stems are stamped using old olive ink.
5. The flowers are stamped on a scrap of very vanilla card stock with calypso coral ink. This is a two part stamp – so I stamped the background piece first and stamped off on a scrap paper to make the coral a shade lighter. Then for the detail of the flower, I used the second detail stamp and stamped with calypso coral at full strength.
The flowers are stamped on scraps of very vanilla and cut out. They are raised with dimensionals to pop off the card! Of course I then had to enhance the flowers with a few pearls. And my cards are complete!
Perfect for a wedding card or Thinking of You card.
So which card do you like best?? Leave me a message.
Enjoy your day!
everything for convention!! I am so excited! 5 Members of my Stampin’ Up! team are going with me to Salt Lake City next week for Stampin’ Up!’s 25th Anniversary Celebration!!
It will be so much fun!!
This is a card that I designed with the Mosaic Madness stamp set and Quatrafancy designer paper. I actually made this card in two color combinations since my supply of cardstock is more limited on the Cape. The first sample is using the new Strawberry Slush paper and ink with pink pirouette on top and the mosaic embossing folder. Remember that the mosaic punch and stamp set come as a bundled pair!
I used the new designer paper Gingham Garden and the Flower Shop stamp set with the coordinating punch!
I love the bright colors of this paper and the great patterns. Rather than using a ribbon across the middle of the designer paper, I used some of the new washi tape that coordinates with the paper.
The background flowers are stamped in daffodil ink. the main flower is stamped with melon mambo ink and popped out with dimensionals. Of course I had to add a little something to the center of the flower, so added a rhinestone pearl. I wish I had the large pearls with me, but alas I don’t. I can’t bring everything to my temporary stampin’ studio!
The Hello Sweet Friend is from the new Six Sided Sampler Set and I used the hexagon punch to punch out the image.
Stay tuned, my next Card Kit is going to be using the Flower Shop stamp set with the coordinating punch!
This week’s order code is ZTX476TP. Enter this code at the bottom of the order screen in the hostess code section!
Enjoy your day!
I have put together the items that you need to make these cards.
This card is made with one of the new stamps, Wildflower Meadow, from the upcoming New Catalog!I used the new blue – Pool Party which is a returning in color. I stamped the image using White ink and embossed it with white Embossing powder. I then added pearls to the center of the flowers.
I added a couple of small cardstock flowers to the bottom corner. To make these, use the 7/8″ scallop circle punch to punch a scrap of card stock. Crumple up the card stock and kneed it to break down the fibers of the paper. Do this until you can pull the layers of the cardstock apart. Pinch from the center and layer two pieces together. Snip off the end of the flower and use crystal effects to attach to the card and hold together! Voila!
I love these flowers! Here is the same card but made with crumb cake card stock. I am not sure which one I like better. I do know that I like the look of the pearls on the center of the flowers! The pearls just seem to add that little pizazz to the card!
