Stampin' Up! 5th Avenue Floral Birthday Wishes


This is another card I put in the purse tote seen here. 
I used the Top Note Bigz die to cut out a piece of Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper.  That is one of my go to Bigz Dies. The vellum card stock is embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder with the Big Shot.  Card base is Sahara Sand.  Other card stock colors are Whisper White, Rose Red, and Bermuda Bay.  The flowers are stamped in Bermuda Bay and are from 5th Avenue Floral Set.  I used the Ticket Corner punch on the corners.  What a great value that punch is!  Only $6.95 and the item# is 107214.  You can purchase the supplies for this card through my online store in my Demonstrator Business Website.

Willing is not enough; we must do.

Stampin' Up! 5th Avenue Floral Purse Tote with Cards




I think this turned out nicely. More views below this text. Will be giving this one to the lady who had me as their secret sister. Hope she likes it. I really appreciated her gifts and most of all her prayers during the past year. I think this turned out nicely. I didn't want to use bulky embellishments so she wouldn't have to pay extra postage. Also I kept them simple so I could make this quickly.




Have to thank Patty Bennett for her wonderful instructions here. She is so talented and shares so much. Thanks Patty!

Think I might do this as a class and do a matchbook notepad to match for a Mother's Day gift. What do you think?

I used 5th Avenue Floral, Sincere Salutations, and Thoughts and Prayers stamp sets. I just love the patterns and colors in the Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper. The flower is from the Pretties Kit. The butterfly is from the Butterflies Sizzix Bigz Die and I also used the exclusive Top Note Sizzix Bigz Die from Stampin' Up! I used Perfect Dots embossing folder and a pink corduroy button from the Occasions mini. Don't forget Sale-a-bration is going on. For each $50 spent you get to pick a free product from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

Colors used are Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, Rose Red, Whisper White. I used the Wide Oval punch for the handle. I will be sharing the cards in future posts. Thanks for looking and have a happy stampin' day!

Off to work on some wedding invitation samples! And what happened to spell check on the new blogger post editor? Miss it!  Have to copy and paste from Word.

Stampin' Up! Butterflies Sizzix Bigz Die Scrapbook Pages




Here is a another 12" x 12" scrapbook page I made for a Ronald McDonald house project.  I love the Butterflies Sizzix die.  You have several sizes from which to choose.  I layered the smallest butterfly over the medium sized one.  I embossed the small butterfiles with the Perfect Dots Embossing folder available in the Occasion Mini.
The strip at the bottom of the Close to Cocoa 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock is a 1" strip of Regal Rose punched with the Pinking Hearts border punch also available in the Occasions mini.  The small hearts on the strip is the smallest heart on the Heart to Heart punch.  I used the Warm Words stamp set in Rose Red on Regal Rose card stock punching with the Large Oval punch.  That is layered with the Scallop Oval punch in Close to Cocoa.  Hope you enjoy!  Happy Stampin'!
