Forever Flourishing Sympathy Card

A simple sympathy card using the Forever Flourishing Dies and the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  Nicely complimented with the Gold Cord from the Forever Greenery Combo Ribbon Pack.  I used Garden Green Cardstock and Very Vanilla Cardstock.

 

Bumblebee Sunflower Celebrate Card

A sunflower card using the Celebrate Sunflower Stamp Set with Bumblebee Cardstock and Bumblebee Designer Series Paper.  I used Daffodil Delight Blends to color in the sunflower and Soft Suede Blends to color in the middle of the sunflower.

 

Daisy Lane Smile Card

Today's card should put a smile on someone's face.  To create this card I used the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and the Birch Stamp Set.  

• I stamped the daisy and stem in Smoky Slate Ink
• Colored in the center of the flower using Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends and I used Old Olive Stampin Blends to color in the stem and leaves 
• The Birch background is simply stamped in Basic Gray Ink
• The Smile sentiment is stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder

Stand Up Desk Calendar... Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper

 

Today's special post is a stand up calendar I made for my craft desk.  I know the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper is retired, but  I still love it.  The dimensions for this calendar are below.

I used White Thick Cardstock for the calendar base.  Cut one piece measuring 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Cut another piece measuring 4" x 4" and score at 1/2", 2" and 3 1/2".

I love the way this calendar looks on my craft desk... it inspires me every day when I see it.
