Elegant Flower Birthday Wishes

Here is a cute birthday card that I made with the Stampin Up "2011-2013 In Colors", Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.  I also used the new Labels Collection Framelits Dies for the green background.  It coordinates so well with Stampin Up's other punches  I used the retiring "Funky Four" stamp set along with "Circle Circus". 

Thanks for stopping by,

Flower Teacher Appreciation Note Pad

Hi crafting friends, I know it has been awhile.  We are having major life changes in our family since the new year, with a new addition on the way and being in the process of selling our house.  Needless to say, my crafting time has been suffering.  I did want to share the Teacher Appreciation projects that I made for my son's preschool teachers.  I took the small legal not pad and added a flower cover with the quote, "Thanks for all that you do!".  For the flower I used my Big Shot and the Stampin Up Fun Flowers die.

I also made this coordinating not card to got with.  This flower was done with EK Success Flower Punches and Stampin Up "So Happy for You" Stamp set.

The great thing about this gift is its versatility, it would make a great mother's day gift or birthday gift.  If you want to see what I did for last year's Teacher Appreciation click here.

Have a great rest of the week and a Happy Mother's Day this weekend.  I am working on some flower pot cards that I would love to share.

Inking It Up Crazy Design Team Post - “Cricutless” Challenge

Today is another Inking It Up Crazy Design Team Post and this one is the "Cricutless" Challenge.  I decided to use my favorite punches as the focal point.


The punches I used are the small and large Retro Flower Punches from EK Success.  I punched two large flowers, small scallop and two small flowers.  They are held together with a brad.  A scalloped border punch was used on the rectangular elements and birthday sentiment.  The pattern paper is DCWV and the sentiment is from "So Happy for You" from Stampin Up.

Please check out what the other ladies have made for this challenge over at Inking It Up Crazy.
