Sunshine & Tulips

Happy Friday (and it's a Holiday Weekend, too)---I'm ready for flowers and trees to start blooming!  While tulips tend not to grow here in the desert, I still enjoy seeing them.  This Sunshine & Tulips card was inspired by Terri Gaines.  It's a pretty easy card to make.  All the tulips are die cut one time and you end up with the base for the card.  This bundle has lots of possibilities.  After I die cut the tulips frame and stamped the leaves, I embossed it with my new favorite embossing folder--Beautiful Pattern.  It just gives it a nice texture.  Oh, and this bundle is in the 2026 Jan-Apr Mini.

Fragrant Layers

Tomorrow is my Beginning Card Class at the Anthem Center here in Henderson.  I so enjoy working with these ladies and our classes have grown!!  Must be doing something right.  We even have a few "virgin stampers" coming.  This card was designed by Connie Babbert and uses one of my favorite bundles, Fragrant Layers  The timing worked out perfectly because I wanted to use up all my "Valentinsy" DSP.

The card base is Poppy Parade and then a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of DSP is adhered to it.  A 3 x 4-1/2 piece of Flirty Flamingo is die cut with the outline flowers; it's glued to the white detailed flowers; adhere to card front; stamp sentiment and single flower (cut out flower); attach pink ribbon and flower centers.

Lovely & Beautiful Card

I find that I'm getting anxious for Spring.  Yes, it only lasts a short time here in the desert, but I don't like the cold.  Very thankful I'm not in the Mid-West or Back East where it's freezing. So---here's a card that I hope gets you in the mood for the coming season---And yes, we'll be making this card next week in my classes.  Live out of town?  Make a $50 purchase by 1/30 and I'll send you all the pieces to make this card (except the sentiment).  Don't forget, you'll also get a $5 coupon from SU to use in Feb.

Lovely & Beautiful is a suite that has the stamps, dies, papers, and more altogether in one package.  I did use sentiments from other sets, too.  I don't go to many weddings these days.  The flowers and sentiments are brushed with Bubble Bath ink to add a bit of color.
