First, I stamped and punched four flowers, using two of the stamps in the set, as shown above.

I then stamped my sentiment and cut one end of it as shown. 

Next, I sponged the tag with Melon Mambo ink.

I then placed the sponged tag on top of the Hello Honey scrap and cut it to measure a bit larger then the Basic White tag. I adhered the Hello Honey tag in the center of a Basic White panel.

Next, I dry embossed this Basic White panel with the Hello Honey tag, using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.

I then adhered this panel onto the Melon Mambo card front.

Next, I die cut about three or four Little Leaves to place behind the flowers and add a bit of color to the card front.

I then arranged the flowers and leaves on the card front as well as the tag. When I had them in place, I attached the sentiment first, using dimensionals.

Next, I adhered all of the flowers, using dimensionals and adhered the leaves, using liquid adhesive. 

Lastly, I adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Get Well Little Bird

These images are suitable for any sentiment or color scheme you desire. Thoughts? 

Get Well Little Bird

Stamps:

   Serene Silhouettes

   Work of Art

   Sincere Salutations

Paper:

   Tangelo Twist A-2

   Basic Black 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White 5 x 3-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tangelo Twist

   Hello Honey

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Stamp-Off

Accessories:

   Adhesive

Although the background looks like I used four different colors, I used only two: Tangelo Twist and Hello Honey. I used a technique called Stamp-Off.

First, I stamped the arch using Tangelo Twist on the top of the Basic White panel and then immediately stamped it again below it. It is the same color, but a lighter shade.

I then cleaned the stamp and inked it using Hello Honey. I stamped the arch below the Tangelo Twist and then stamped it again below it, giving me the two shades of Hello Honey.

Next, I stamped the silhouette of the birds and tree, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

I then stamped the sentiment on the bottom right of the panel.

Next, I adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Tangelo Twist card front. 

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card, but I switched the sentiment to a Thinking of You from the Three Thoughts stamp set:

Napkin Star

Make use of those beautiful left-over holiday napkins. Some of us buy special napkins to celebrate a special occasion, such as a graduation or birthday. Now, you can use them to create beautiful cards! You will love how silky smooth they feel. Take a peek at this one:

Stamps:

   Sincere Salutations

   Patterned Pines

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Whisper White Craft

Technique:

   Felted Cardstock

Accessories:

   Clear Cling Wrap

   Newsprint

   Holiday/Decorative Napkin

   Iron

   Adhesive

   Paper Snips

First, I followed the tutorial from SCS on Felted Cardstock. Click on it and see step-by-step instructions as well as a video. I can't explain it any better than Lydia. 

I had some 4th of July napkins, but I needed a Christmas card to add to my stash. So, I used the part of the napkin with a star on it. 

Once I had my silky smooth panel, I added a few more stars and a holiday greeting, using the Whisper White Craft ink.

I then adhered the panel on to a Basic White card front and added a Basic White panel to the inside of the card. 

I am so excited that you decided to pay me a visit. Please Contact Me if I can be of service.

Spring Birthday Wishes

 Step-up your cards with several flat layers. This card displays several layers using only two colors. You can also keep it clean and simple by stamping the sentiment in the middle and surrounding it with the Botanical Blooms. Both are quite easy and beautiful. Which of these would you choose and why? Please share.

Stamps:
   Botanical Blooms
   Season by Season
   Sincere Salutations

Paper:
   Pool Party A-2, 1-3/8 x 2-1/4, 1 x 5-1/2 
   Night of Navy 5-1/4 x 4, 1-1/4 x 2-1/8, 3/4 x 5-1/4 
   Whisper White 5 x 3-3/4, 1-1/8 x 2

Ink:
   Pool Party
   Night of Navy

Technique:
   2-Step Stamping
   CAS

Accessories:
   Adhesive

First, I cut all of my cardstock to size. 

Then I stamped my images and sentiments on the Whisper White cardstock. The blooms were stamped with Pool Party and the centers are in Night of Navy. These were stamped randomly as a background. I then stamped the sentiment on the smaller rectangle using Night of Navy ink. If you do not want to create layers, start with the sentiment in the middle of the large panel and stamp the blooms around it.

I then adhered all of the layers. Whisper White onto Night of Navy and then onto Pool Party. To assemble the card, I began from the bottom layer and worked my way up to the top. 

Change the sentiment to create a different occasion. This one can be sent to say, hello, thinking of you, or just a note.
