Stampin With Scraps... Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper

Another great Stampin With Scraps card.  I used Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper strips in Tranquil Tide.  The greeting is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set.  The Fresh Florals DSP paper is retiring the end of May... make sure you get it before it's gone.

Throwback Thursday

Today I'm sharing some wonderful Throwback Thursday projects.  I found these gems as I was cleaning out and updating my craftroom display.  Hope this inspires you.

Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper with Perennial Birthday

I used Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Berry Burst to create this beautiful background.  This paper will retire the end of the month so get it now before it's gone.  I used Berry Burst ink to stamp these flowers from the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

Beautiful Day with Petal Passion Designer Series Paper

I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the flower from Beautiful Day stamp set and the Happy Birthday greeting.  I used an Aqua Pen with Real Red and Old Olive ink pads to color in the flower.  I think the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper makes the flower pop.

Did you see this red Clear Faceted Gem?  I created it by using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blends to color in the gem.  Love this idea.

Sympathy Thank You Cards - Remarkable You

These are some simple and pretty sympathy Thank You cards.  I stamped the Remarkable You flower on Whisper White cardstock using Crumb Cake ink and the Heartfelt Blooms flower was stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Very Vanilla cardstock.

The Remarkable You stamp set is retiring soon.  Get it now before it's gone.The cards measure 3 1/2" x 5" folded, so they fit very nicely in mini craft envelopes measuring 5-1/8" x 3-5/8".
