Mixing it up with Flourishing Phrases

























So...today I thought I would mix it up a little more with my Flourishing Phrases card and add in a a few more elements to step it up yet again. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like it and I don't. I am more of a plain and simple girl. This one may be just too busy for me. I have another idea rolling in my head to try tomorrow...unless it rolls right on out. Ha! Ha!

The elements I added were a couple of die cuts from the Flourish Dies, the Squares Layering Framelits, the Petal Burst Folder, and the Ruched Ribbon. If you would like to see the other two cards, you can...

Flip Flop Fun
















I have to confess...I hate shoes. My favorite thing about Summer was being able to wear flip flops! Sadly, I can no longer wear them - my age is catching up with me! So, I decided on the next best thing was...making them! Aren't these just adorable! I could stare at them for hours!

When I got the hankering...I did a google search for a free flip flop printable. BEWARE! There are computer pirates out there! I ended up on one of those sites that wanted take my computer hostage! So...I am going to share this safe link with you for the pattern I found and used after my initial scare: just click here. Computer pirates, hackers, malware monsters...they all get my ire up - I may have to stamp all day just to feel better! lol!

For your convenience I have posted the supplies used in creating these adorable flip flops. Clicking on any of the images will take you to my 24/7 online store where you can pick up the supplies you need to create your own flip flop fun. Thanks for stopping by!

Stepping Up a Simple One Layer Card With Flourishing Phrases

























Simple one layer cards are quick, easy, and fabulous. They are perfect for people who have just started their stamping journey and don't have a lot of supplies. However, just adding one layer can really step up a card so I usually recommend that you purchase a coordinating card stock and ink so you can do this simple step-up in your card making.

This card uses four inks but you could get by with three. Your card would just not have the subtle depth created by the shading of the flower petals using a sponge dauber and a deeper shade of ink.

Here is the card with a layer of coordinating card stock added to it:

























If you are new to stamping (and even if you are not) I created this card on Facebook Live and you can view the video there:

Woodsy Fabulous Flora Handmade Card






















Fabulous Flora and Timeless Textures were just meant to go together! To see another beautiful card that I created using these two sets, click here!

I am so thrilled that the Woodland Folder was brought back! I loved it in last year's Holiday Catalog and now I can use it all year long! I used it to create a subtle hint of texture and trees peeking out from the background on this pretty card.

The Very Vanilla Lace Trim gives this card a feminine look. All it takes is leaving off the lace trim and you instantly have a masculine card making this design very versatile!

Fabulous Flora is a Host Stampin' Rewards set. There are only a few more days left in the month of June to earn extra Host Stampin' Rewards!

Simple Wow Card With Flourishing Phrases

























Arrgh! I had a light bulb burn out in my light box! I have a replacement, I just couldn't get the bulb out. I will have to recruit my hubby's help!
