CS141 – Citrus Blooms

Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge!  Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards.  This month the theme is “Appreciation”.

CITRUS BLOOMS

I had to pull out my new Citrus Blooms Suite…I was so excited to use it!  But, to keep it simple, I just used the greenery die, some DSP and a couple of the small, stamped flowers!  I REALLY wish they would have included a lemon stamp image, too, because I love this paper!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Lemon Lolly cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• Two 2 x 4 pieces of the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper were torn across the top and bottom and then added to a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the front.
• The greenery piece was cut with the Citrus Blooms Die from Old Olive cardstock and added to the center with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The Citrus Blooms greeting was stamped with Old Olive Ink on Lemon Lolly cardstock and cut with the Unbounded Love label Dies.  It was adhered to the greenery.
• Three flowers from Citrus Blooms stamp set were stamped with Daffodil Delight Ink on Basic White and cut with the Citrus Blooms Dies, then added to the front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Some yellow Opal Rounds Assortment were added to the center of the flowers.

So simple and love this appreciation greeting!  Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
