Tangerine Flowers

Right out of the Sale-a-bration mini, today's card is very pretty.  For the flowers I used Tangerine Tango for two flowers and stamped off once to stamp the lighter versions of the flower.  I used Chocolate Chip for the pistil and the sentiment.  I put everything together and when I was going to adhere the card front to the yellow card base, I decided I didn't like it.  What I did prefer was a Crisp Cantaloupe (retired In Color) card base.  The strip of Crumb Cake is such a perfect contrast.  I am thinking that maybe I just should have made a Crumb Cake card base, too.  Whichever colors are used, the Avant Garden stamp set is my favorite of those in the SAB mini.  Have a great day!

Valentine Favors

Can't let a holiday go by without making a favor using Stampin' Up's  2" x 8" cellophane bags.  The pink foil is covering Reese's peanut butter hearts covered in white chocolate~~and they are very good!  I made little trays to hold the hearts, using a pop dot to keep the hearts in place.  The tags were made using the old heart punch after stamping the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and I think it is adorable.  Again there isn't an easier favor for any holiday than these.  Well, I am sure there are easier ones, but these took the least amount of time and product to create.   I even just tied a ribbon on the Melon Mambo and black and it was still festive.   Have a great day!

Bear Hugs For Syd

Today's card is a cute one that I made for Sydney "just because".  She had to get her braces on her teeth last week, so it was a perfect time to send the card.  I used the Pop of Pink DSP and the Square Layering Thinlets, both from the Annual Catalog. 

On a sad note, my dear friend, Regina, lost her 5 year battle with lung cancer yesterday.  I know she is in a better place, but I will truly miss her.  She was a kind person who would have given you the shirt off her back if you needed it.  Hugs to her family.   Rest in peace, Regina. 

Sunshine Wishes Flower

Another quick and easy card, today's card is about the flower.  The flower was die cut using one of the framelits from Sunshine Wishes.  I cut it using Flirty Flamingo paper and then used a marker to color the stem green--quick and easy!  I cut a strip of Fruit Stand designer Series Paper adhered it to a Flirty Flamingo strip.  When everything was adhered to the card front, I stamped the sentiment (not SU).  And, since I have some pretty sequins that match perfectly with Flirty Flamingo, a few were added.  Have a great day!
