Country Floral and Fable Friends

One last card using the Country Floral Embossing folder.  On this card I inked the folder with Smoky Slate ink.  This gives a vintage look to the embossing folder.  I spent most of Saturday coloring Fable Friends images and made this into a Cute Baby card!

Smoky Slate card base, Highland Heather layer and then the Powder Pink embossed layer.  I cut Layering Circles and stamped this Bunny in Stazon Black ink.  Colored with Water Color pencils and Wink of Stella to Blend.

Layering Circles were used to cut out the Bunny and Highland Heather Circle.  Smoky Slate checked ribbon is retired, but perfect for this card....so I used it!  That is what I LOVE about Stampin' Up. Coordination.......no matter if the product is current or retired it coordinates with our other products!  Always check the Clearance RACK when you shop, you never know what might be available!

I will be posting more Fable Friends projects the rest of the week.......COME on SPRING......I am putting it out there, we are READY!!!   Easter is late this year (April 21) order this set NOW and earn a Sale-a-bration item with a $50 purchase.

Country Floral and Bermuda Bay

I wanted to show you another Technique with this embossing folder and WOW you are going to LOVE this and so many color options will give you tons of Beautiful cards!  I used Bermuda Bay. 
I wanted something BOLD so you could see how a little ink can change EVERYTHING!!

Cut a Piece of Whisper White card stock 5 1/4 X 4.  This will leave a 1/4 inch frame from your Bermuda Bay card base.  Drag the ink pad over the embossing folder on the Negative side.  You will only ink up the surface, the large roses will sink into the openings allowing the BACKGROUND of those images to absorb the ink.  So Simple, So Beautiful!

I stamped a Sentiment on a Scrap of Whisper White and Added to the EveryDay Label punch.  Tied a Bow with the Dotted Ribbon and popped the Sentiment up over the ribbon.  Perfect for Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays and so much more!  This Folder would make Beautiful Wedding Invitations!

Blanket of Flowers

This Embossing folder is so versatile and the only way to get it is with a $50 purchase!  And you can PAINT the flowers and get this result!!

This reminds me of a Quilt.....a Blanket of Flowers.  So much Texture, Color a little, Color a lot!  Calypso Coral card base,  I used the Aqua painter and Calypso Coral ink, Pineapple Punch and Pear Pizzazz.

I tied the ribbon around the Whisper White panel and then added dimensionals and popped up on the card base.  Yesterday at Uptown Market I sold my last Anniversary card, so used the Stitched Rectangle Framelits to accent this sentiment from Best Birds.

Uptown Market Saturday 9-Noon

Get out of the house while you can!!  Saturday is Uptown Market Day!  I will have St. Pat's cards and Treats.  HOME Frames and more.  SO glad the Snow is waiting until Sunday......I would rather NOT have any more snow, but sounds like we are getting it again......Spring has got to show up SOON!

I used Call Me Clover card stock cut 6 X 2.  A smidge under 2 so you can punch each end with the Tag Punch.  Score at 2 3/4 and 3 1/4.  This will allow a nice 1/2 inch area to hold the candy.  Tie shut with Baker's Twine.  I sampled this candy and it is delicious!  And the Packaging was perfect for St. Pats!

I used the Amazing Life stamps for this project.  And punched the 4 Leaf Clover with a 1 inch Circle punch.  Happiness Blooms Enamel dots are the perfect accent for the center of the Clover Leaf.
