I have been fascinated with the Pressed Petals Washi Tape, and this idea came to me; to make a heart with them.
Heart of Petals
First, I found the heart shape in the Be Mine Stitched die set. Using the heart die as a reference, I peeled and stuck the Washi Tape Petals on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. When satisfied with the coverage, I cut the heart, added a second, White Cardstock heart for thickness, and placed it on Dimensionals.
TIP: I started at the top of the heart, overlapping, and working my way to the bottom.
The background is regular Whisper White Cardstock that I embossed with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. The scalloped edge was made by cutting all four sides with a die that is also from the Be Mine Stitched Die Set.
“Forever” is from the Sweet Silhouette Die Set, cut from Thick Whisper White Cardstock. Since the “f” and “r” would be hanging over the heart, I added a second layer for sturdiness.
My clean & simple design was inspired by CAS(E) this sketch.

Welcome to the Kre8tors July Blog Hop, where “floral” is the theme.
It’s hard to believe that next month, demonstrators will be seeing the new Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog, but we will! This made me think of my favorite “year-round” set from last year’s Holiday Catalog that carried over into the Annual Catalog. Let me re-introduce the First Frost Stamp Set and Frosted Bouquet Dies, which can be ordered right now!
Year-round Bouquet
I began with a Thick Whisper White card base, and a rectangle of Thick Whisper White Cardstock that I watercolored with my Aqua Painter and Seaside Spray Ink. This was done by transferring the ink from the ink pad to an acrylic Clear Block, and picking up the color with the Aqua Painter brush. In addition to brushing across the paper, I flicked some spots for interest. Then, I trimmed it to size, creating a scalloped edge, with a Be Mine Stitched Die.
The three flowers were stamped in Terracotta Tile Ink on Whisper White cardstock, and cut with their die. Next, I stamped the middle branch in Pear Pizzazz Ink, and used it’s die for cutting. The leaves on the left were cut with a die from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, and the two sprigs were cut with a die from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock and Whisper White Cardstock. I gave the cuttings and background texture with the Subtle Texture Embossing Folder.
The sentiment, “for you,” is from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set, which I stamped in Pear Pizzazz Ink on Whisper White cardstock. It’s cute, little, die is in the Bouquet Bunch Die Set, with a real hole for the Linen Thread tie.
To complete the card, I decorated the envelope flap with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder, shown in the first picture.
The colors were inspired by Global Design Project. What a pretty combination!
My supplies are in the Product List below, and I always appreciate you shopping in my store. If you have ordered from me, I will be sending you the new Holiday Catalog in August, as soon as it’s available. Fun, fun, fun!

If Dinosaurs Came to Town was one of my daughter’s favorite books. I recognized the Pteranodon (Ter-AN-oh-don) in the Dino Days stamp set, because of this book. See it in the upper, right corner?
Pteranodons
Of course, I had to get Stampin’ Up’s! new Dino Days Bundle! And, the pteranodons asked to be on this card, because they thought they’d look really nice in the Paper Player’s colors.
So, I agreed, and used their stamp from the Dino Days Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel, Balmy Blue, and Granny Apple Green Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I cut them with their Dino Days Die. Don’t they look happy?
The Pteranodon’s background is made of layers:
1. Blueberry Bushel card base 2. Whisper White Cardstock 3. Blueberry Bushel Cardstock (cut with Rectangles Stitched Die) 4. Whisper White Cardstock 5. Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (cut with Rectangles Stitched Die).
The Pteranodons wanted to say, “from all of us,” so I found this sentiment in the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set. It fit perfectly in a Stitched Nested Label Die. After adding Dimensionals, my Dino Days card was complete.
Thank you for sharing in sweet memories of my daughter’s childhood, and bedtime story time.

Today’s challenge combines an airplane flying boy with an “ombre technique.”
Airplane Flyer
My ombre design was created with a stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set and Night of Navy Ink. I began stamping at the bottom of a piece of Whisper White cardstock, and without re-inking the stamp, I stamped a second and third time. This was repeated three times, and then I cut the layer to size with a Rectangles Stitched Die.
In addition to ombre, I wanted to use the sketch from the Fusion challenge. Here’s a look.
To go along with the sketch, I adhered two rows of Whisper White Flax Ribbon with Tear&Tape.
Next, I stamped my airplane flying boy, from the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set, in Night of Navy Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. After cutting him with a Stitched Shapes Oval Die, he took his place on top of Dimensionals
Before gluing my ombre striped background to a Night of Navy card base, I stamped the sentiment in Night Of Navy Ink.
“Time for a new adventure!” is from the Well Said Stamp Set.
The envelope is one I had on hand, and I can’t remember stamping the flap, but thought it looked good with this card.
Thank you for visiting today. In case you’re wondering about the paper I used for photographing, it’s from See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper. I included it in my Product List, so you can see all 12 designs in the pack. Clicking on the picture takes you to my store for shopping. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Pals’ July Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects that are “Mixing It Up” – adding texture that will really take your projects up a notch – or two! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I’m so excited to share how I use texture with you, so let’s get started with my framed daisy.
Framed Daisy
This is the daisy from the Daisy Lane stamp set, stamped in Pineapple Punch Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut with the Medium Daisy Punch. I made two punched rounds of petals, placing a Mini-Dimensional between them. A Perennial Essence Floral Center is atop the layered petals. Who can resist touching this fuzzy thing? It’s screaming “texture.”
The stamp set and punch can be purchased in a Bundle for a 10% savings. You can see these in my Product list below.
The daisy’s stem is from the Bouquet Bunch Die Set, cut from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock, which I doubled for thickness. The sentiment, “love,” is from the Well Written Die Set, also in Soft Sea Foam, and also doubled for thickness. The layering of these elements gives them a nice look and feel. More texture!
The background is Subtles 6X6″ Designer Series Paper in dotted Soft Sea Foam.
I framed my daisy with Thick Whisper White Cardstock, cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies, and embossed with the Country Floral Embossing Folder. It is raised on Foam Adhesive Strips for extra height, on a Thick Whisper White card base. Texture galore!
Thank you for hopping by today, and I appreciate you shopping at my store!

Today’s project is a trio of daisies and ferns from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set.
Daisies & Ferns
I chose Garden Green Ink for stamping the fern on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I stamped the daisy, on regular Whisper White cardstock, in three colors: Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, and Crushed Curry.
While stamping the fern and daisies, I had the Fab Friday sketch on my mind.
After fussy cutting the daisies, I shaped them with my fingers, and placed them on Dimensionals atop the vertical section of ferns. The right-hand, scalloped strip was made with a Be Mine Stitched Die and Garden Green Cardstock. The stripe on the left is a piece of Regals 6X6 Designer Series Paper in Garden Green.
The sentiment, “It’s your time to shine,” is also from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set, stamped in Garden Green Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. I used the same Be Mine Stitched Die to make the scalloped edges. Everything was glued on a Thick Whisper White card base, and my card was complete.
Thank you for visiting today! You’ll notice from my picture of the 6X6 DSP in my Product List that the stripe isn’t there. The stripe is from the previous catalog, but you can use a different pattern, and make this card your own. Have a wonderful day!
