Flowers

Hey Ya'll!
   Just a quick post today to show you this Flower Pot Card I made recently. It had been so long since I made one of these, I forgot how much fun they were to make! I used one of my favorite Cricut carts and some flower punches for the flowers, embossed the flower pot and tied it with some ribbon from my stash. Have you made one of these lately? Hope you enjoy the peek, and thanks for checking in on me!

Supplies- Close to My Heart: Inside sentiment from "Thoughtful Tidings" , Cuttlebug: Embossing folder "Distressed Stripe", Stampin' Up: Small flowers- "Petite Petals" bundle, Large flowers- "Triple Treat" stamp and "5 Petal Flower" punch, Front sentiment- "A Round Array" with 7/8" scallop punch, Sunflowers- Cricut cartridge "Walk in My Garden".

 

Flower Pot Birthday

Good Mourning! My Mother loves to garden, but physically can no longer do as much as she used to, so I made this Birthday card for her to remind her of how beautiful her flowers will always be in my mind! I started with the flower pot and embossed it with the cuttlebug. The large flowers were cut from Walk in My Garden and Home Decor and the color combo are her favorite colors. The leaves were done with a MS punch and the small vine flower was cut from Home Accents. I added some Memory Tread, a sheer ribbon, and the sentiment at the bottom. The inside sentiment was computer generated. I am entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #74. You can check out their blog by clicking on the button on the right hand side of my blog. I hope everyone has as beautiful a day as I am having here in the south, and thanks for looking!

Summer Blessings

Hello everyone! I trust that everyone has survived the heat wave,LOL? It has actually cooled down here for awhile. Fantabulous Cricut's challenge #72 this week is to "Get Buggy", so I started thinking about summer and bugs and decided to do the fireflys from the Stretch Your Imagination cart but I didn't like the jar. So guess what? The jar was cut from Kates ABC's, and then I decided it needed something else so I cut the snail from Walk in My Garden. Didn't like the lid on the jar so I cut it off and stamped one to put in it's place. Do you ever get to where you just CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Any way the outside sentiment was done on my Design Runner and the grass was cut with a M.S. punch. The inside sentiment was computer generated. Hope you like! It just reminds me of my childhood days, and what we did to keep ourselves occupied on hot summer nights! Thanks for looking!

Sunflowers

Hello everyone! My friend Joy has been making so many cards with flowers on them lately, that I decided I would try one myself. This card was inspired by a journal that I purchased at Hobby Lobby at the beginning of the summer. The two smaller flowers were cut from Walk in My Garden, and the larger one from Stretch Your Imagination. The grass was a MS punch. I did lots of inking and popping and added glass beads to the centers of the sunflowers to make it look like seeds. The background was embossed with a Sizzix folder called Checkerboard. Tied on a tag with some bakers twine and did a little doodlin. I had fun with this one, and I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks for peeking!

Cardz Color Challenge

I made this card for Mary's color challenge on Cardz TV. We were supposed to use the colors purple, blue, white, and green for a Mother's Day card. I embossed the background to make it look like painted paneling, then made a "table" with the blue check for the cloth. Put a crock full of Hydrangeas on the table and hung a picture on the wall with the word Mother for my sentiment. Thanks for looking!
