Stippled Blossoms Scalloped Birthday Card




I can't resist any flower stamp and the beautiful roses in the new Stippled Blossoms are some of the most beautiful stamps I've ever used!  I saw this lovely card by Cindy Beach and changed the size and sentiment and created my own card.  I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to perfectly line up the flowers for the beautiful dimension of colors that the two-step stamping creates.  And did you notice that the new large scallop edgelit perfectly coordinates with the Delicate Designs embossing folder?  Love it!

Stippled Blossoms, Fabulous Phrases
Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight card stock
Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight inks

Happiness is...


Although I didn't get to attend the Stampin' Up! convention this year, I was grateful for all the demonstrators who posted lots of great photos of projects, boards, swaps and all the other fun samples at convention.  One of the pictures showed a project that Shelli, the CEO of the company, had created with the Besty's Blossoms stamp set.

I loved it so much that I adapted it into a card.  It was a lot of embossing and cutting, but the results were well worth the effort!

I embossed the Distressed Dots background, the flower and leaves, and the bird.  I embossed, cut out and popped up the wing on the bird.  I popped everything on dimensionals and added the happiness sentiment on a bitty banner.



Supplies:
Betsy's Blossoms, Fabulous Phrases, Distressed Dots
Whiosper White, Summer Starfruit, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo card stock
White craft, versamark, and Early Espresso craft inks
White, clear, and irredescent ice embossing powders
Labels and Bitty Banners Framelits
Mixed Blossom Punch

Blooming with Kindness Birthday Card with Tutorial


I'm in love with the beautiful chrysanthemum flower from the new Blooming with Kindness stamp set. I used the masking technique to create the green background around the flower and added some dimension with white craft ink on the embossed framed tulip frame.  I'm on a tutorial roll, so I've created a tutorial so you can see exactly how to create the masks.
