Triple Punch Borders

The colors are from Pals Paper Arts - use always artichoke, lucky limeade and color of your choice - I chose soft suede and vanilla.

I wanted to try a different way of using the blossom bouquet triple layer punch. I used the largest piece and a middle piece. The whole background piece is embossed.



Not sure if this would qualify as masculine or if it looks too flowery.

Triple Blossom Bouquet - Watermelon

I made this card with a bunch of punches!
I found some colors - this cheerful color combo from Stampin' Royalty - Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler
I modified a layout from Clean & Simple - Fall-to-Layout 176.

I wanted to show the versatility of the blossom bouquet triple layer punch. I used it for the border and also for the watermelon seeds. I used two sizes of ovals also for the watermelon piece. I popped the watermelon up on dimensionals.

The patterned paper is the pack you can get for Sale-a-Bration! The sentiment is from a retired SU! set "Lots of Thoughts"

Coral Framed Flower

I felt like making a card today. I found this layout from Sketch Frenzy Friday. When I saw the layout I thought I would like to do something with a frame and my triple blossom bouquet punch and some patterned paper. I found a piece of patterned paper and decided to try coral and white and found that it matches really well with soft suede!



For the flower I punched several layers of coral and patterned papers using all 3 settings of the punch and then attached with a brad. I crumpled all the inner layers.

New Queen... QFTD92

Here are the two cards I made for this week's Queen. I hope you get a chance to play along here.

I used the triple blossom bouquet punch and popped up the top flower. I also used the new Sale-a-bration paper!


The medallion is embossed in white and I cut it out in a circle. Then I punched the inner part up and layered with scallop circle and popped it up with a clear rhinestone in the center.

Combined Challenge Creativity

I combined 4 challenges today. All the ideas just came together and I invented this fun wreath and bow all on my own!



I started by punching pieces of always artichoke cardstock with my boho blossoms and my blossom bouquet triple layer punch. I embossed the pieces and glued them on a circle to make a wreath shape. I added some buttons (TLC354 - button art!)
For the ribbon and twine I wrapped the twine in about 4 loops, then looped one piece of the ribbon around it and glued it together. (CAS147 - ways to use twine!)
Also notice how I used the sentiment! I only inked the "Merry" with artichoke, then I cleaned the stamp and inked the "Christmas" with cherry and used the stamp-a-ma-jig to place it. This makes stamps a lot more versatile when you can use parts of the stamp or reposition parts of the stamp!



The layout is from Sketch Frenzy Friday - SFF120211.
The colors are from Pals Paper Arts - PPA122 - cherry cobbler, always artichoke, very vanilla.

card for a friend

This card is for my friend Wanda! Today's challenge on Splitcoast was to be inspired by the gallery of an on-line friend. This is Wanda's card. Let me tell you the story about Wanda...

When I lived way up in Northern Alberta I participated in a swap in which Wanda was a part! Later she contacted me to buy supplies because she noticed I was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. The really cool part was that she lived in Alberta too! A few months later we actually moved 10 hours South (still in Alberta). I knew that Wanda lived less than 30 min from where we were moving so it was exciting to have a REAL life person that I knew before we moved (because I didn't know anyone else here). We got to meet and have gotten together a few times to make cards! Thanks Wanda, for making my move a lot easier. You are such a sweet person and I always enjoy spending time with you.



The challenge the other day was to use VELLUM (which I often forget about) so I included 2 vellum butterflies on my card (can you see them?) I also wanted to use my new blossom bouquet punch.

Other details: Beatiful Wings embosslit, pretty in pink ribbon, 2 rows of piercing, brads, embossed background, clear rhinestones and 2 scallop edges.
