A Round Array Blossoms

Hello! I am back with a card to share with you! I made this card last week but with the rainy, cloudy weather I have had a terrible time getting a photo of it. Well, today I finally succeeded. The colors are Baja Breeze (retiring), Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, and Old Olive. I used the A Round Array Stamp Set and paired with the the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch to create the center of my flower. The flower uses the Blossom Punch, the 1" Circle Punch and the Blossom Petals Builder. For texture I added Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder to the Baja Breeze Card Stock. The designer paper is from the Summer Smooches series. I added just a bit of Whisper White 1/4" Stitched Ribbon as an extra accent and the card is finished. This is one of the cards that we will be doing at the A Round Array Class. If you can't make the class but have/are purchasing the bundle I will be happy to get you the card kit for the $8. Just let me know what works best for you. Thanks and have a great day! Tonya

Hello! I am so excited with the way today's card turned out. I am really enjoying the Build a Blossom Stamp Set and coordinating Blossom Petal punch and love showing it off to everyone. This is the third card that we made on Friday night at Patti's Workshop. We used quite a few punches which makes for easy assembly. The sentiment is from the Word Play Stamp Set, if you haven't checked this sentiment set out I encourage you to do so. It has a lot of fun sentiments that work for lots of occasions. The sentiment was stamped with the Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad on Whisper White Card Stock. The base of the card and the petals are Blushing Bride Card Stock and the flower petals were stamped with the Regal Rose Classic Ink Pad before they were punched out. The flower centers are the 1 3/8" x 5/8" Oval Punch and Early Espresso Card Stock. The ovals do have textured added by running them through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Die. The stems of the flowers are made with Early Espresso Card Stock and the Two-Step Bird Punch. We used the Branch for the stem and added a Early Espresso leaf to one stem. Not a difficult card to make at all but it looks like it took so much longer. Well, I hope you enjoyed my card for today. I am going to work on sewing today so no stamping but I still have lots of new projects to share with you. So please stop by tomorrow for another card. Enjoy your Monday and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

I miss the Sun!

Good morning, what a morning it has been at our house and it isn't even 8am yet, but instead of boring you with the details why don't I share with you a card we made at Jennifer's workshop last week. I know that I have shared several other Build a Blossom Cards with you but I really love this set and can't help sharing it with others whenever I am stamping with a new group of people and since it is a bright cheering Daffodil Delight color it makes be smile on this not so bright and sunny day. I do have hope that we will be seeing the sun soon and warmer temperatures. The rest of the supplies for the card are Old Olive Card Stock and Classic Stamp Pad, Daffodil Delight Card Stock and Classic Stamp Pad, Whisper White Card Stock, Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set, Blossoms Petal Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Build a Brad, Word Window Punch, Framed Tulips Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Big Shot. It looks like a lot of supplies but really the card goes together really quickly with the Blossom Petal Punch and it is a great card to cheer up someone in your life. Have you sent a handmade card recently just because? If not why don't you make a few and send them I know the people that receives them will be happy you did. Well, I am off to get the boys to school and start my day. Hope you have a great one and thanks for stopping by, Tonya
