A Big Thank You &
 Daisy Delight
I used the beautiful Floral Romance Designer Series Paper (DSP) for both of these cards.  I especially like the way the Daisy Punch coordinated so well.

  • *Powder Pink bases are 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  
  • The Pear Pizzazz layers are 5 1/4 x 4.
  • The Mossy Meadow layers are 5 x 3 3/4 and are dry embossed with the *Softly Falling and the Layered Leaves embossing folders.
  • The 4 x 3 layer of Soft Sea Foam is the base for the 3 7/8 x 2 7/8 layer of *Floral Romance DSP.
  • The 2 1/2 x 1 1/8 piece of Whisper White is stamped with Mossy Meadow ink from A Big Thank You set.  
  • The *Powder Pink Ribbon is from the *Metallic Ribbon combo pack of two, is added for accent.
  • The daisy is stamped three times with *Powder Pink & Mossy Meadow ink on Whisper White and punched with the Daisy Punch, and glued together with Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive.  
  • All is popped up with a dimensional.

Crafting Forever, Timeless Textures , Waterfront & 
Wood Words
Quite a few stamp sets for just one card, right?  Couldn't help myself.  So many stamps, so little time.  
I came across this card on Su Mohr's blog, AromasAndArt.com, and you can see her card Here.  I liked it to much, I hopped up from my computer and went straight to my craft room and got to working.

Recipe: (I typed an asterisk in front of any product that is retiring on June 3, 2019).
  • The base is an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2  piece of *Tranquil Tide scored at 4 1/4.  
  • The Coastal Cabana layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
  • The Cajun Craze layer is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2, and is the base for the 4 5/8 x 3 3/8 Whisper White on which my images are stamped.
  • I began by stamping an image from Waterfront with Coastal Cabana ink (I stamped off once each time before stamping on the card).
  • Next, I used a stamp from *Timeless Textures and Coastal Cabana ink and again in *Tranquil Tide ink to make more of a background.
  • The words from *Wood Words are stamped with Cajun Craze ink.  
  • I adhered these two pieces together with snail adhesive, and popped up this combo with dimensionals.
  • The pen from Crafting Forever is stamped with Stazon Black ink and colored with Blends.
  • Next I cut out the pen with my handy dandy SU Paper Snips.  Just the best crafting scissors ever, just sayin'.
  • Adhered the pen to my card front with the Mini-Dimensionals.
  • Don't forget to decorate your envelope.
  • All done!!!

Let It Ride & Petal Promenade DSP
I wanted to share with you two note cards I made at our last Shoe Box Swap.  Both designed by my sweet friend, Wendie Jamison.  
These cards are made from a set of 20 note cards and envelopes (in the current catalog and are going to be carried over to the new catalog).  
They are fantastic for a quick "I want to thank you for everything" and maybe "I'm thinking of you and wanted you to know", and very affordable too. 
Recipe for the Let it Ride card:
  • The note card is 5 x 4 1/2 scored at 2 1/2.
  • The Early Espresso is 4 3/8 x 2 3/8, and the Wood Textures DSP (retiring June 3, 2019) piece is 4 1/4 x 2 1/4.
  • The images from Let it Ride are all stamped with Early Espresso Ink.
Recipe for the Petal Promenade card:
  • The note cards are 5 x 4 1/2 scored at 2 1/2.
  • The Mossy Meadow layer is 4 3/8 x 2 3/8.
  • The Petal Promenade DSP (retiring June 3, 2019) layer is 4 1/4 x 2 1/4.
  • The 2 1/2 x 1 piece of Mossy Meadow is the base under the 2 1/4 x 3/4 piece of Whisper White.  The words are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink.
  • A Fresh Fig Frosted Flower embellishment (retiring June 3, 2019) accents the words. 
  • All done, and remember to decorate your envelope.
