Sweet Stems

February 23, 2009 By Connie | Leave a Comment

Well, the weekend flew by, didn’t it? Saturday, I went to my upline’s meeting in the morning and then was able to get a couple card challenges done with my friends in the afternoon. Sunday I just spent the day resting. I have felt the beginnings of a cold, so wanted to try to pamper it before it took over. My youngest (who is at college) stopped by for a couple hours (and dinner). It was good to talk with him.

This card is one that my Stamp Club members did last month. I like the softness of Pink Pirouette along with the Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip colors. I started with a card base of Pink Pirouette, then added a layer of Kiwi Kiss and a layer of Chocolate Chip that was stamped with the flower in Chocolate Chip…tone on tone. I cut the Pink Pirouette and Raspberry Tart Designer Paper together with the Top Note die in the Big Shot machine. Then I wrapped the Kiwi Kiss stripe ribbon around to the back and secured. I stamped the Sweet Stems flower on Whisper White with Basic Brown ink and colored with my blender pens and ink pads. I added a small green Rhinestone brad to the center of the largest flower. I cut the flower out with the Coluzzle (available only while supplies last!) and layered it with Chocolate Chip oval cut from the Coluzzle. I adhered that flower piece to the Top Note piece with dimensionals and adhered the Top Note to the card base. Finally, I added three 1/4" circles over the ovals for a little added touch! And the greeting, "thank you" from Fresh Cuts finishes it off.

Hope you have a great week!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 23 years and just had my 22nd 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 Lewis Center, Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville, 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!
