Happy Birthday Blossoms in Berry Burst

The Birthday Blossoms stamp set is one of those sets that is so pretty, but sometimes I forget I have it.  I used Berry Burst DSP from the Fresh Florals DSP paper pack to compliment the flowers.  The flowers are colored in with Aqua Pens and Berry Burst ink and used Daffodil Delight in the flower center.  I used Pear Pizzazz on the leaves.

Flower Shop... Inspired by the NEW 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Catalog

This card was inspired by the Flower Shop card sample in the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! catalog Page 28. I use the Flower Shop stamp set quite often so I keep extra stamped and punched flowers on hand to make a quick card.  I looked in my little stash tin and came up with this color combo... Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Berry Burst.

Colorful and Stylized Birthday Card

Used Stampin' Up! Stylized Birthday stamp set and Delightful Daisy DSP to create this colorful birthday card.  I also used the retired stamp set Petite Florals for the coordinating flowers in Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral.  This stamp set is retired, but I still love it.







Doilie Tie Die Watercoloring

I've been wanting to try the Tie Die Watercoloring technique for the longest time.  I recently saw a post on Pinterest using doilies and loved the way it looked. The best part is you can get two cards with this technique...

I used some leftover doilies for the Occasions Catalog with an Aqua Painter to create this look.  Ink pads used were Pool Party, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight.  This technique works best with watercolor paper or Shimmer Paper which is what I used.
