My Team Swap Card

This is the card I was so excited to share earlier this week.  It has been killing me to have to wait until today!

Today was our weSTAMP Team Regional Meeting where our Amazing Upline, Lorri Heiling, plans several make and takes for us to do.  These meetings are always so much fun and I'll be sharing some of the things we made over the next few days.

We also had a group Card / or 3D swap and everyone who attends votes on their favorite.  This was my card, or rather, card front as that is all we need to make for these.  Some girls do whole cards.  Today I just did the front.

I began with Whisper White base 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", then a layer of Real Red 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" which I ran through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb embossing folder.

I added a lace doily the layered on a Basic Black Circle punched with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch and a Whisper White 1 3/4" Circle Punch.

The rose is Rose Red, punched using the Bird Builder Punch - Bird Wing x 3 and the Branch x 2 is Garden Green.  After attaching the branch as shown, I trimmed off the one under the top one so there is just one "stem".

I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the roses to give them some shine.

The "Silverware" comes from Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies.  The framelits go perfectly in a bundle with A Nice Cuppa photopolymer stamp set.

I really LOVE how this came together.  Sadly, mine didn't win the vote this month, but that's okay, I am still very happy with it!

Thank you for looking in today.  I hope you have a Blessed Sunday!

Love is in the Air

This looks like it is complicated, but really it wasn't so bad and the outcome is worth a few minutes to make this beautiful card.

I began by die cutting the heart from the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die in Crumb Cake and Garden Green.  I then cut out the little extra flowers from the die set in Pink Pirouette.  I snipped some of the leaves from the Garden Green and glued them over the Crumb Cake where they fit in and I attached the Pink Pirouette flowers over the flowers on the  Crumb Cake.

A little tip... make sure you have the flowers lined up before you add the glue.  They look like they fit more than one way, so lay the pink on cut out first and then pick it up and add glue to the Crumb Cake.

Recipe:

Crumb Cake 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Garden Green 5" x 3 7/8"

Rose Red 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"

The sentiment is from Bloomin' Love which comes as a bundle with Bloomin' Heart Thinlits.  You always save 15% when you purchase the bundle, so be sure to look for them in all of our catalogs!

Add some Rhinestones for bling on the flowers and you have a beautiful card ready to send.  I think this one will be an Anniversary card. 

Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Tuesday - remember to check out the Weekly Deals!
