Mixed Bunch for a friend

I love this stamp set and it's beautiful designs on the flowers.  It is so easy to make a pretty card with very little effort.
I saw this layout on line and don't remember who originally designed it.  I did make some changes for my card.  I used the Fun Flowers die to make the red layer behind the punched flower image.  I also  chose the new Fancy Fan embossing folder.
My bow was tied with red grosgrain and  attached with a glue dot. 
This Thinking of You card  is a get well card for a friend who had surgery recently.  I'm hoping that the red and white color combination will cheer her up!

Color Challenge

I love the Everyday Enchantment paper that was available during the Stampin' Up Sale-a-bration promotion.  This card was made using some of that pretty paper.  I cut some layered flowers with the Fun Flowers die to make the focal point, and finished it off with one of the free brads that came as another  freebee.

This card qualifies for the CR84FN51 color challenge using pink, peach, and  light blue.  The sentiment is from the My Friend stamp set.The card stock colors I used are Pink Pirouette, Peach Parfait, and Pool Party, which I dearly love!

Inside, the card was layered with a piece of Naturals White card stock.  The border of the  Everyday Enchantment paper was added at the bottom and topped with a floral punch out.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciate your comments.

Baby shower favors

 

I was asked  to make some favors for a recent  baby shower.  The invitation was decorated with jungle animals, so I incorporated that theme on the  favors I was making.  The little striped outfit from the retired Hostess set A Slice of Life was used, omitting the  little  hanger.  The Fun Flowers die and Sizzix Big Shot were used to make the layers of flowers, and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch was added to the animal strip behind the flowers.

The back of the favor was stamped with an image  from the retired Long Time Friends stamp set.  It was selected because it went so well with the contents inside: little packets of wildflower seeds.

The seed packets went so well with the little verse on the back that was composed by the future grandmother.

The  seed packets were made from circles of tulle, tied up with sheer ribbon.  The Extra-large and Large Tag Punches were used to punch out the computer-generated planting instructionsas well as the So Saffron tag behind  that was embossed with the polka dots embossing folder.  

The favor was cut with the Framelits Dies Labels Collection.

This was a fun project to plan and make, although it was time consuming.

Fun Flowers Birthday

I think I send more birthday cards than any other kind of card.  I made this one a few days ago using papers from Paisley Petals DSP.  I decided to find some scraps from paper packs I haven't used lately
I used Pool Party card stock for the card base. This is probably my favorite of the In Color group this year. It really makes the colors in the DSP pop.
The fun flowers die was used to cut out the two flower layers out of Pool Party and Calypso Coral papers.  The brad in the center of the flower is part of a Sale-a-Bration product that can be selected for free with a $50. purchase.
The coral border above the dsp was punched with the scallop trim border punch.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations stamp set.
This was one of the quickest cards I've made lately!  I love a quick card!

Thanks for stopping by.
