In celebration, I made up this card using my favorite Beautiful Bunch stamp set again! I love the patriotic feel to it using Maritime!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Night of Navy, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White.
On the 3 3/4 x 5 layer of Maritime DSP, I added a 1 x 3 3/4 piece of the Stripe pattern, with a 1/4 strip of Real Red Cardstock under it.
I stamped the Beautiful Bunch flower twice with Real Red on Whisper White, then punched with the Fun Flower Punch.
I punched the center out of Regals Backgrounds DSP because I wanted the polka dot pattern…you could use the navy pattern in Maritime, too! The flower was placed on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Rhinestone Jewel to the center, too.
I stamped Happy Birthday from And Many More stamp set…love the selection of greetings in that set!

Perfect for a July birthday, don’t you think? Make sure to find out where the BLOG CANDY is today by checking out Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Members and leaving a comment on their blogs!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Mossy Meadow cardstock folded in half.
On the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Crumb Cake, add a 1 3/4 x 4 piece of Lullaby Designer Paper with the Hello Honey Stripe.
Wrap around the Hello Honey Satin Stitched Ribbon and tie a knot.
Stamp Let’s Celebrate from Sumthin’ Sumthin’ in Mossy Meadow in the lower right corner.
Use the Fun Frame Impressions Folder with Whisper White cardstock, then cut out. Add to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the Beautiful Bunch flower twice with Hello Honey on So Saffron cardstock and punch with the Fun Flower punch.
Stamp the flower again with Early Espresso Ink on Early Espresso, and punch out the center with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. Add to the flower with Stampin’ Dimensionals and add a Rhinestone Jewel.
Use the other flower image from Beautiful Bunch and stamp with Mossy Meadow Ink on Mossy Meadow cardstock, punch with the Fun Flower Punch, then cut the petals apart to use as leaves. Add to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

CCMC307 Beautiful Bunch

Oh, I was SO excited to see another flower stamp set and punch combination called Beautiful Bunch and Fun Flower Punch! I know…we have several…but this has a LARGE flower and it is so pretty that I couldn’t resist! And, Create with Connie and Mary’s sketch this week was perfect for a large flower! Here’s my card. I combined Beautiful Bunch with Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set!

This week’s sketch…come play along!

Details of my card:

I stamped the dotted pattern from Kinda Eclectic with Lost Lagoon Ink across the middle of the Whisper White.
Then I added Mossy Meadow leaves (making them lighter by stamping off) on top and bottom of the dotted image.
I wrapped the Strawberry Slush twine around twice and adhered in the back.
The greeting was stamped with Strawberry Slush Ink in the lower right corner.
I stamped the flower from Beautiful Bunch twice with Strawberry Slush on Pink Pirouette and punched with the Fun Flower Punch. I layered them together with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next I stamped the flower again with Strawberry Slush on Daffodil Delight and punched with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle. Did you know it fits PERFECTLY??? I added it to the center with another Stampin’ Dimensional. And there is a little Rhinestone to add a little sparkle.
I didn’t want to add another punch, but the Lost Lagoon butterfly just jumped on there…I added Rhinestones for the body and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.
The Whisper White layer was added to the 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 base of Strawberry Slush, folded in half.
