Dream Gardens

Oh my! This is one of my favorite new stamps from Stampin' Up!'s current Idea Book and Catalog (Dream Gardens - p.104). I used Stampin' Up! Design Series paper (Lovely Flowers) and black cardstock. I stamped all images with Whisper White Ink and olored the them with SU Chalks in Glorias Green, Orchid Opulance and Taken with Teal. I also used a small piece of Hodgepodge Hardware (colored with SU Writer Markers) at the top of the ribbon hanging. Ribbon is Old Olive.

Have a Petal Party Birthday!

What better way to enjoy a hot summer day, than by staying inside (and stayin' coo) to create a bright flowery birthday card with Stampin' Up! products! The coordinated papers used in this card are from the Simply Scrappin' Kit Petal Party. This kit also includes the embellishments (except for the ribbon which is the new 1/2" Polka Dot in Melon Mambo and the designer buttons in Certainly Celery. The Birthday Wishes stamp is from the Sincere Salutations Stamp Set and was stamped in Pixie Pink. The textured Old Olive background paper is also from the kit and was embossed with the new Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder using a Sizzix Emsobbing Machine. All products on the card are made by Stampin' Up! and are available in the 2009-1020 Idea Book and Catalog.
