Faux Fresh Cut

I didn't order the Fresh Cut stamp set or the notes . Tonight when I was wishing for something new to play with, it all of a sudden hit me that with the punches I could do a faux Fresh Cut note. This is what I came up with using the 5-petal flower punch and the retired Spring Bouquet flower punch.

Double Pocket Card

I finally took time to stamp tonight. Hubby is gone for the weekend fishing and I decided that the unplanted flower beds can wait till tomorrow. The last 2 weekends I was babysitting 2 of the grandkids ages 3 and 6 so stamping didn't happen.

Splitcoast had the tutorial for this card this wek. I thought it looked very interesting. It is actually quite easy to do. I plan to make another one for our friends 25th aniversary.

If you live near me and would like to learn how to make this card, contact me and book a workshop and ask for the double pocket card. I will demonstrate it for you and your friends.

Finally a chance to stamp again. We have had 3 days of rain so there isn't much happening in the greenhouse. Not many customers show up when it is this wet. This evening I made these 2 cards using River Rock and Black cardstock. In both cards I embossed the main image.

Another Carousel Note

Here is another card made with a carousel note. The stamp set is retired but the card is for my Mother and the image suits here perfectly. She hasn't been here for almost 2 years (she lives 6 hrs. away). She chose to come this time of the years so she can get her bedding plants from my greenhouse. How special is that.

I used the piercing tool for the edge of the carousel note, and colored my image with the WWC and an aqua painter.

The greenhouse is very busy now but hopfully I'll have an update by next Sunday.

Carousel notes

I ordered the carousel Notes and got them on Tuesday. Tonight I finally had a bit of time to play with them. I didn't have a lot time to play so had to come up with something that was quick and easy. This is what I came up with. Hopefully in the next few days I can play again and try something a little more elaborate.

I made this card for the SC card sketch challenge today. I put some fine cosmo orchid glitter on the flowers.It doesn't sparkle in the scan like it does in real life. I used the watercolor crayons and aqua painter to color with.

scrapbook pages

This weekend I did some scrapbooking. This is one of the spreads I did of some of the grandkids. I really like how it turned out. The flowers are made using both of the triple flower punches and then layed using brads. I'm trying to get at least 2 or 3 spreads finished each week or as much as my other life allows.
