card candy swap

My swap group decided to swap card candy & cards last month. So, this is what I got....


It was made by Kathy Stewart

Twelve cards & lots & lots of candy!

Thanks for coming to see me!

black-eyed susan

ok....why does everyone keep calling this a Sunflower? It's 'clearly' a Black-eyed Susan. Well, at least it is to me....

Anyways, it's been my new favorite flower and I've been making a lot of them. See my original one here. I changed the color from Chocolate Chip to Basic Black and decided I like the Chocolate Chip better. It's softer and more appealing to me.

These were made to swap at a Stampin' Up! meeting I went to...hence the basket full of them.

For Stamp-A-Stack card number three, I changed the layout to be just the opposite of this card (which was card number 2 for Stamp-A-Stack). I also changed the colors of cardstock, ribbon, Designer Series Paper, stamp set and punch.

flower pot card

After seeing so many of these cards floating around on websites and blogs, I wanted my ladies to make them for Stamp-A-Stack.

Every one I saw was all so unique and pretty. I decided to make it easier on my ladies and die cut a whole lotta flowers in a whole lotta colors with my Sizzix Big Shot.

Otherwise, we'd have been sitting there ALL night stamping & cutting out flower after flower after flower. I reeeeaaally think that they were grateful that they didn't have to do that.

So, here's the finished project...

FYI: I took Patty Bennett's idea and brayered Dusty Durango Classic Ink onto the bottom of the flower pot to give it a terra cotta look.

I loved the color combo with our NEW In Colors of Crushed Curry & Soft Suede together. It's a very soothing color combination.

I started with Whisper White as the base of the card (8-1/2 x 5-1/2) and layered our NEW In Color Crushed Curry (4 x 5-1/4). Then I took a piece of Whisper White (2-1/2 x 4) & stamped the flower using markers. Stamp the sentiment at the bottom of the Whisper White & round the corners. Wrap a piece of Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon around the Whisper White & adhere to the backside. Punch a strip (1-1/2 x 4) of Soft Suede cardstock using the Scallop edge punch & adhere to the side. Mount it near the bottom right corner.
