Flower Fest again!

May 4, 2011 By Connie | 1 Comment

OK, I'm slightly obsessed with Stampin' Up!'s Flower Fest stamp set.  And, to be honest, it really was my least favorite one in the Summer Mini catalog at first!  Now that I've played with it…I really am enjoying how quickly (most!) cards come together with it!

 

I loved the SCS Color Challenge on yesterday's card, so I pulled out those same colors again today.  Sadly, I'm in need of a couple Sympathy cards for a dear friend and one for my husband's co-worker.

 

 

I started with the base of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.  I layered on Very Vanilla that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Elegant Bouquet Impressions Folder (it has been a LONG time since I've used that folder!)  I added a strip of Love Letter Designer Paper in the houndstooth pattern.  I wrapped around the double-bow Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon (yes!  It is still available to order!)   I stamped the large flower in Basic Black on Cherry Cobbler cardstock, then punched with the Fancy Flower Punch.  I stamped the center again on Very Vanilla and cut it out, then placed a Black Flower Brad in the center with a Rhinestone Jewel.  I stamped "Please Know that I Care" from Thoughts and Prayers stamp set on Very Vanilla and punched with the Large Oval, then layered it on a Basic Black Scallop Oval punch.  Finally, I added two leaves from Flower Fest stamped with Basic Black on Old Olive and cut out.

 

I think it makes a very elegant card suitable for a sympathy card.

 

We are featuring Flower Fest along with Hello Blossoms, Bold Blossoms and On the Grow over on Create with Connie and Mary during our two Summer Edition Preview Weeks!  Have you checked out the DARLING Summer Fun Planner that Rochelle did yesterday?  She has a FREE TUTORIAL for you to try!  Stay tuned…we still have three more Designers to be featured over the next two weeks…before we officially begin on May 15th.  You'll want to make sure to take advantage of the Early Bird Savings!  Our 5 week subscription is only $24.95…that's $5 off the regular $29.95 US price!  With a new project almost every day, you will get TONS of ideas and can refer back to them 24/7 long after the subscription is over!  Join Create with Connie and Mary Summer Edition TODAY!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!
