Square Floral card - cased

I normally try to stay away from cruising around Pinterest because I know, if I get started there, my whole day will fly by!  But sometimes I venture into that vast land of awesome cards, and this is one of the cards I cased from there ....

Don't you just love the three pearls in the swirl pattern on the upper right hand side of this card?  They are Stampin' Up! Basic Pearls that I coloured with a black Sharpie marker.  I am unsure who the originator of this card is, but thank you! I truly love cards that are mostly white with one or two colours thrown in for a punch. This would also make a great sympathy card. 

  Stamps:  Create A Cupcake (R)

  Ink:  StazOn (or Basic Black)

  Paper:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Rose Red, Lucky Limeade (R) or Old Olive

  Other:  Little Leaves die, Boho Blossom punch (R), Basic Pearls, black sharpie, Word Window punch

Give it a try, you will have a great time creating it too.

Happy Stampin'   ....          

Metal Sheets - Fun Flowers Card

Recently I purchased some metal sheets in some lovely colours.  Tonight I got the chance to open the package and use one of the Barn Red sheets.  Oh my it is so lovely.  I loosely followed THIS tutorial and blog post by Monica Weaver.  Monica shares lots of free tutorials and ideas for using these sheets, and she sells them as well!
Here is my creation ..............

Don't you just love it when a card comes together quickly and effortlessly?  This was one of those. 
Here is a closer view of the metal sheet flower .....

The flower is made using the Fun Flowers Die and Barn Red Metal Sheets, then there is an Antique Brad in the middle.

A Sunny Garden - Mojo Monday #176

I love this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I used to make a card like this every once in a while, but have not done so in a few years now.  Here's my interpretation of the sketch ..............

You can't see the texture very well, but I used a texture plate for the peach parfait piece on the bottom called Perfect Details.  I also used another one of the Movers and Shapers Magnetic dies - Punch Windows.  A fun, bright and springy card for you today.  We had sunshine yesterday and it was awesome and boy was the sunrise a gorgeous surprise.
Stamps:  Punch Potpourri, Elegant Cheer
Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait
Paper: Sunny Garden DSP
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Basic Gray, Old Olive
Other:  Boho Blossom punch, Little Leaves die, Mover and Shapers Magnetic die - Punch Windows, Scallop Oval punch, basic rhinestones, Perfect Details texture plate

Simple Friendship Birthday Wishes

Another card inspired / cased from Chat Wszelaki in THIS post.  I did change a few things on my card .....

My version has no ribbon, I used only one flower in the bottom left hand corner, along with some Little Leaves.  I stamped my flower in Basic Black onto Peach Parfait cardstock, then put a square of Sizzix Adhesive Sheet on top.  Then I cut out the flower, removed the liner of the adhesive sheet, and pushed it into Dazzling Diamons Glitter sticky face down.  Then I slipped a Basic Rhinestone in the center of the flower.  The flower from Friends Never Fade was stamped in varying degrees of Peach Parfait and So Saffron onto the whisper white that I cut out with my Top Note Die.  I put a bit of Diamond Stickles on the butterfly along with 6 of the row Basic Rhinestones.
Stamps:  Simple Friendship, Friends Never Fade, Elegant Cheer
Ink:  Basic Black, Peach Parfait, So Saffron
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait
Other:  Top Note Die, Diamond Stickles, Basic Rhinestones, Little Leaves die, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Sizzix Adhesive Sheets
Ah, another day closer to the weekend.  Not that I have to worry about that anymore.  In my life every day is a weekend day now that I am "retired"!!!  Happy Stampin'   Glenda Mollet
