Honeycomb Flowers

I finally broke Down and bought the Hexagon Hive Framelit.  It is available until June 1st and I know I will get quite a bit of use out of it!  Here I just layered it over Designer paper and added away.

3D Ladybug

I really struggle with Kids cards and I am actually going to challenge myself to make more kiddy cards.  This one was made for my niece who turned 2 .  I figured a 3D lady bug would suit her just fine.  I added the ribbon around the edge and it reminded me of a toddler's blanket.

Flowers

Boy has it been busy around here!  I have had to time to spend stamping in weeks.  Here is a card I actually did a few months back but did not have time to post.  I have a few of them and hope to get them up for you to see soon.  

The Core'din-a-tion papers are so fun to work with and add a nice subtle background.

I folded the front in half and cut out part of the heart, folded it back and glued the DSP on the inside of the card, the back of the heart and the front of the heart.

Flipped Mosiac

I could do flowers and butterflies on every card.  Living in WI, especially today while I am setting up this post and it is -12° below (-30° with wind chill) I look forward to spring.  These flip cards are soo fun and easy with the dies.  I go through quite a few Thinking of you/ Thank you/ Praying for you cards.  They make great secret sister gifts too.

Zig Zag Flowers

This is one of those cards that happened completely buy accident and I love the way it turned out.    I started it out for last weeks sketch challenge but when it came time to put the blocks over top I did not want to cove the zig zags. Lol so I set it aside and finished it later.  These are some of my favorite colors!

Bermuda Floral Doilies

I made a stack of Thank you cards for all of our Bible School workers last month.  Since I did not know the head count yet and I drove 5 hours for this VBS I did not put them all the way together until the night before the closing program.  That way if I had made too many I did not have a stack of VBS themed Thank you cards that I would never use again.  I only  had 3 extras and decided to fill in the blank part with the doilies, flowers and of course butterflies.  At first I was not drawn to the doilies but I had $3 of hostess dollars left on an order and decided to give them a try.  I think they will have to have a permanent spot in my work area!

Dream

I got out my DSP and decided to start there with the design for this card.  This paper just jumped right out and said "Use me!" I thought it was so elegant and so I tried to  keep the rest of the card the same.  I loved how the Loving Thoughts went so well with the Four Frames.

Here 4 U

I ran across this paper the other day while making another card and I loved the design and found out how much I liked Baked Brown Sugar with Summer Starfruit. I knew I wanted to use the Pansy as the pop up element in this sketch which forced me to make the sentiment as the cluster.  I am so glad that I did!  I did not follow the sketch exactly as I wanted a landscape card, so I made it work.  I have learned that when I want to use the clay for a flower center I do not want it thick, so I just fill the mold just deep enough to get the design.

Strawberry Flowers

Love, Love, Love this color!!!  I am very pleased with the ruffled ribbon.  It is not too big or thick and easy to use. I bought the clear mount Flower Shop set so here is what I did to make sure I stamp the flower to line up with the punch.  I stamped the flower on a piece of scratch paper and  then lined the punch up.  The punch has a gap at the top.  I took a sharpie marker and put a line on the bottom of the stamp where the gap is.  That way when I stamp the flower I just make sure that the gap with the line is on the top.
