fun flowers with punches

Lately, I've been somewhat in a "flowery" mood. When I think of flowers, I think if springtime, and of Mothers Day. Even though it is only March, I am already brainstorming some simple cards to make for Mother's Day. So here is another one I created using the 5 petal flower punch and Boho Blossoms punch

To create the flower seen here, I used my 5-petal flower punch to cut two flowers from Just Add Cake DSP, then layered them on top of each other. I bent the petals a little so it wouldn't be so flat. Then, with the Boho Blossoms punch, I puched 3 of the largest flower - 1 was used as the center for the 5 petal flowers, and the remaining 2 I also layered on top of each other to create a smaller flower.

With the larger flower, I then put a button from the itty bitty buttons pack as firthre embellisment. On the smaller flower, I used on of SU's basic rhinestones.

Sweet & Simple Sunday - another button buddies card


It has been raining here in San Diego the last couple days. As much as I love warm, sunny weather, I do also appreciate the occasional rainy day. It gets me in the mood to stay home where it is nice, dry and warm, and play with my stamps! So here is my Sweet & Simple Sunday card project for this week.


Card Recipe
Paper: Tangerine Tango CS; Paisley Petals DSP
Stamps: Button Buddies, Loved Ones
Ink: Early Espresso, Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Early Espresso bakers twine, designer buttons - regal collections, basic pearls




I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I just love how the Button Buddies stamp set is designed to coordinate perfectly with SU's designer buttons! As you can see here, I just placed the flower shaped designer buttons over the stamped image to add some dimension to the image. For added embellishment, I used SU's basic pearls as the flower center. I also stamped directly onto the piece of Paisley Petals DSP I used.

Happy Stampin Everyone! Have a wonderful week!
