I am so happy to be joining so many incredible artists, today, celebrating
Simon Says Stamp's newest release,
Happy Camper, by way of a blog hop over at the
Simon Blog! I have made three cards using one of the sweet new stamp/die sets from this release...
My daughter is going to have my seven year old granddaughter start gardening with her, so this card will be perfect, as she begins her future endeavors! I stamped and die cut the dirt and the kitty, and colored and layered both. I used a piece of patterned paper that I had found while searching my craftroom, that I have had for a very long time, but I liked for this card, for the background. The card is a bit smaller than a typical A2, to make the images fit a bit better(5 1/4 x 3 1/4), but still fits nicely in an A2 enverlope. Here's a close up...

Then, I made two cards using one of the images from the set that I loved the minute I saw it...a single flower in a flower pot...
I discovered that the Trinity enamel dots, the largest one, fit PERFECTLY in the centers of these stamped/die cut flowers, so I got the idea to use a CZ Design sentiment, and used three of the flowers, but only give one of the flowers a sparkly center. I thought it went perfectly with the "bright spot" in the sentiment! Here's a close up...
the second card with the flowerpot...a late entry, as I redid it, last minute!...
Decided to end with some COLOR!! I gave THIS flower in the pot a rainbow, colored the petals, then cut strips of cardstock as close to the colors of ink I used, and popped the panel up over the stripes and card. Used an older Easter sentiment...thought it so fit! Here's a close up...
Okay...I had SO much fun making my cards!! As I always like to say...my fun was above, your fun is below!

ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite stamp and die set from this release. I love how you used it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable set and great use of that potted flower.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards!! you gave us perfect examples of how multi purpose a stamp set can be. Your Grand-daughter will love the Gardening Kitty card, it's adorable. The potted flower cards are each one different from the other but equally cute. As I looked at them I thought how fun it would be to put a Wobbler under the middle potted plant in the row of three or the single rainbow flower, these flowers remind me of the little solar plants that sway in the sunlight. Thanks for sharing your trio of cuteness.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I’m not into cats but I certainly love your flower pot cards, very creative!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteDear Lisa -
ReplyDeleteThese are 100% certified ADORABLE!!! I love the first card -- the background you made for it is awesome! The second card is super --- repetition as a design element is among my favorite ways to create a card. I like that little flower in its pot. The third card is amazing -- it's like you channeled your inner Laura Bassen and stripped it up!
