More Petals and Stems


It's Week 3 of guest designing at Avery Elle
and today I'm sharing some cards made with Petals and Stems.
 

Truthfully, flowers don't "grab" me like they do on others,
but Petals and Stems is such a gorgeous stamp set and so versatile
 that it's hard to stop reaching for it and inking it up.


I went "old school" and used two of the smaller blooms for some simple cards.
These were so quick to create. I think they would make
great gift sets by stamping them in a variety of colors
and adding different sentiments within each set.


You can find Petals and Stems here in the Avery Elle store.
Thanks so much for visiting today!

Playing With Paper

The latest Online Card Class is Pattern Play. Jennifer McGuire, Kristina Werner 
and friends are sharing tips and techniques for getting the most
out of patterned paper for card making.

I am a closet paperholic. Here is proof.
 

I counted the number of paper pads that I currently own.
134. And that was a rough count.
And there are a few straggler pads that missed the count.

Here is my card after Day 1's lesson. You may laugh.


I struggled to find the perfect papers to work with.
I think it's because I have too much paper.
 Hopefully Days 2 through 8 will get easier.

You can still sign up for classes here and have lifetime access
to the lessons and materials.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you in class!

CAS(E) this Sketch #19

Here's the current sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch by Karolyn Loncon.
 

And here's my card.


I die cut a mask and sponged some color inside the square and a few flowers
and leaves were stamped on top. The banner sentiment and a bit of bling
finished off the card. I love how spring-y this turned out!

Thanks for visiting today!
