Creative Stamping & Scrapbooking By Kim

FLOWER FEST in Tempting Turquoise!

Guess what I LOVE about the FLOWER FEST stamp set that is featured in the Stampin’ Up!® SUMMER MINI CATALOG?

Many of the images can be punched out with coordinating punches...Woo Hoo, no cutting!

This card was a snap because I was able to punch the flower image out with the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle punch.

FUN FLOWERS Note Pad

You just can't have too many note pads, can you?

I have a ton of these pads left over from another project (they are legal pads cut down the center by my local office supply store) so I decided I could get some use out of them.

AND, I had recently purchased a package of super cute pencils because they coordinate beautifully with colors by Stampin’ Up!®, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and Regal Rose.

I adorned my pad with a paper flower created with the FUN FLOWERS Bigz L Die which is exclusive to Stampin’ Up!®.

It is super easy to achieve the dimensional look of these flowers...For this flower, I used 3 layers (1 card stock, 2 Designer Series Paper & a card stock center) separated by Stampin' Dimensionals between each layer and then bend each petal up and separate a bit.

From SIMPLE to SASSY in Five Minutes!

Today I want to show you how in just FIVE MINUTES you can turn this super simple card into a super sassy card...

This card initially started out with this simple layout design and although I liked the card, with just a few simple steps I was able to step it up a bit.

Here is what I did:

1.  I ran the Whisper White strip through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

2.  I punched the flower images using the 1" Circle Punch.

3.  I added a piece of 1/4" Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain Ribbon and created a wrapped look on one side.


4.  I added Basic Rhinestones to the center of the flowers.

5.  For added dimension I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop each flower up over the ribbon.

SUPPLIES: 

STAMP SETS:  Eastern Blooms (111626), Thank You Kindly (111700)
CARD STOCK:  Melon Mambo (115320), Whisper White (100730)
INK:  Melon Mambo (115656), Rich Razzleberry (115658), Pretty in Pink (101301)
ACCESSORIES:  1/4" Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain RIbbon (120930), Basic Rhinestones (119246)

ADHESIVES:  Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Mini Glue Dots (103683), SNAIL (104332)

So, I challenge you to take a simple card design and take FIVE MINUTES to make it SASSY!  You will be glad you tried it!
