Painted Petals

This is a quick and easy card using the Painted Petals stamp sets.  The colors are Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss, and Daffodil Delight.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Stitched Blackberry Bliss.  I picked up a little bit of Daffodil Delight ink on the stamp and then Blackberry Bliss for the flowers. The leaves are Garden Green.  It was all stamped on a 2" Whisper White tag using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.
The Blackberry Bliss cardstock was inserted into the Spring Flowers TIEF through the Big Shot.

Painted Petals

My friend Justine came over today and helped me design this card.  I had it stamped it with the Painted Petals stamp set.  I just couldn't decide which layers of colors I liked best.  We decided the white layer looked better than the Daffodil Delight.  The base of the card is Strawberry Slush .  The leaves are stamped with Garden Green, and flowers are Strawberry Slush and Daffodil Delight and stamped the "thank you" in Memento Black onto a 2" Whisper White cardstock.  I used the new punch called Ornate Topper and used embossing folder Spring Flowers.  The ribbon is the 1/8" Crushed Curry Taffeta Ribbon.

 

Butterfly Basics

This is a card that I made after being inspired by a few cards I saw posted on Pinterest.  Christine Miller posted one.  It was her butterfly that caught my attention. The other card on Pinterest was by Kay Kalthoff and I liked her layout of her card.   I used the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP to cut out my Butterfly Thinlet.  Then with a sponge, I inked it up with Old Olive and Island Indigo and then wiped off the excess.  This set is called Butterfly Basics from the Occasions Catalog and the Butterflies Thinlet can be purchased as a Bundle on page 26.  Besides using the DSP for the background, the bottom part is the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder on page 19 of the Occasions catalog.  The ribbon is the Island Indigo 3/4" Chevron from the annual catalog.

Lotus Flower

This is another card I made using the Lotus Flower and the Spring Flowers Embossing Folder.
The colors I used were Elegant Eggplant and Pale Plum.  I also used the Oval Framelits.  This is my favorite stamp set from the SAB catalog.

A Happy Thing

This is another SAB stamp set that can be earned free with the purchase of $50 in Stampin' Up! products. It comes in wood or clear mount and has a set of 4.  This set is great for using Stampin' Up! Blendabilities.  The colors I used are Rich Razzleberry and Daffodil Delight.  The embossing folder is called Spring Flowers from the new Occasions Catalog.  I also used the Ovals Collection Framelit Dies and the Word Window Punch from the annual catalog.  Here are the full directions on how I made this card:
