Daisy Favors

Yesterday was Cricut Sunday and as always, it was very fun!  The favors I made were quick and easy.  The candy is from Dove and the daisy wrapping on the chocolates was what caught my attention.  The tags and the little cardstock trays inside the packages were created using one of the new In Colors, Grapefruit Grove.  It is a pretty shade of orange and extremely close to the old and retired Peach Parfait.  The ombre ribbon went from yellow to orange and matched the Grapefruit Grove and yellow daisy wrapping paper.  The 2" x 8" cellophane sleeves are very useful when needing or wanting to add little favors at a party or even just to give someone a little treat.  Have a great day!

Birthday Flamingo

Reorganizing and uncluttering my scrap room has been taking up time these past days.  I am finding quite a few items for my sale table.  Colors I do not use or which are similar to other colors are adding up. Therefore, I am selling those items.  For example, I have Cameo Coral cardstock, ink pad and refill on the table.  I love the color, but it is so very close to Flirty Flamingo that I don't need both.  I have unopened packs of Stampin' Up 12x12 cardstock.  I haven't used any of it for a long time, so those pack, too, are moving from my storage space to the sale table.

And then there is the Regal Rose that I used for today's card.   Regal Rose is a keeper as I have nothing close to it and I do use it.  I thought a Regal Rose flamingo would be quite pretty~~and it is.  I used the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set, which is also a keeper.   The body of the flamingo is a three step stamp.  I used Regal Rose ink, stamping off twice for the lightest, once for the full flamingo and direct stamping for the third image.  Have a great weekend!

Lovely Floral

I had an opportunity to purchase a couple of items from the new annual catalog and I did.  One of those items is the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder.  The Pretty In Pink card is quite simple.  After embossing the center of the card front, I added it to a black layer.  The sentiment is from The Sheltering Tree stamp set.  Pretty card.

The Soft Sky and Basic Gray card is a step up.  I embossed the image closer to the top of the card, leaving space for twine and a sentiment.  The sentiment is from one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets, Sincere Salutations.  Since I had gray sequins, I added a few.  Another pretty card and  if I make a couple more using the embossing folder, I will have a nice gift set to give to someone.  Have a great day!

Fluttering By

While going thru cardstock, I found some retired Pretty In Pink.  And it is pretty!  I used my scoring tool to add some texture to the Pretty In Pink cardstock.  The Marbled background stamp was inked with Pistachio Pudding and it is very light.  Actually, you can hardly see it.  The sentiment is part of a digital stamp from Tiddly Inks Stamps.  I printed it on white cardstock and then cut it using a Stitched Oval framelit.  The butterflies are in a pale green and match the Pistachio Pudding  marbled background.  The little pearls are an item that will be in the new annual catalog. Have a great day!
