Building Up Birthday Stash

My second package of FREE Botanical Birthday Designer Series Papers arrived and I was so happy I just had to make some cards with this beautiful paper.  Cut at 3" x 4", I was able to get 12 pieces out of one 12" x 12" page which leaves me another page to use another way.


This also gives me a chance to use the FREE Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack which matches perfectly with the Designer Series Paper.

Recipe:  (Grapefruit Grove and Highland Heather used for these two cards.
Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Basic Black - 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper - 3" x 4"

Whisper White 4" x 5 1/4" (inside panel)
Whisper White and Basic Black - cut with Layering Circles



Stamps:  Beautiful Bouquet, You're Inspiring, Around the Corner

Ink:  Basic Black and Grapefruit Grove



Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Tuesday!

Lots of Lavender

My Sister-in-law would pick little bunches of lavender and and then tie them together and hang them upside down on the curtain rods in their little trailer.  When I saw this set in the Sale-a-bration booklet, I knew it would be one of the first sets I would pick... after the Panda's of course!

So, after playing with this one a bit, I think I'll be doing another one for her birthday in February.  I had a little issue with getting the color right and forgetting you have to let it dry before you judge how it looks!


Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Wisteria Wonder - 5 1/4" x 4"
Whisper White - 4 7/8" x 3 5/8" (not normally my size, but I had a boo-boo that needed to be trimmed off!)

I stamped the outline of the lavender with Memento Black, stamped off once and then onto the card.  I tried Smoky Slate, but it was too light and I tried the Black full strength, but it was too dark.

The Wisteria Wonder is also stamped off once to make it a bit lighter.  It was really way too dark for what I wanted.  The leaves are stamped with Pear Pizzazz.


The sentiment comes from You're Inspiring.

Thank you for looking in today.  It's "Friday Eve!" or also known as Thursday.

You're Inspiring

Fun for coloring!  I really enjoy coloring, especially when I need some relaxation therapy.  Whew.

This set comes ready to cover many occasions.  Easter, Mother's Day, Birthday and just because.  We really need some "Just Because" stamps, because I like to send cards, just because!


Recipe:
Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded by 4 1/4"
Tutti Frutti Designer Series Paper - 5" x 3 1/4"
Whisper White Cardstock - 4 3/8" x 3"


I colored the flowers with Stampin' Blends - Daffodil Delight and Old Olive with Dark Pumpkin Pie for the flower centers.


Thank you for looking in today.  Happy Tuesday!
