Sweet Floral Layered

While I was at the SU Convention this year, I won the Sweet Floral background stamp that I made this card with. When I first got it, I thought it was the ugliest stamp that I had ever seen. A few other people saw it and said, "Oh, how pretty!" I figured if some people like it, maybe I could make a card that I like with it.
Here is my layered card using only this stamp and Perfect Words for the sentiment. I stamped the stamp a few times in Cherry Cobbler for the top and a few times in Always Artichoke for the leaves. Then I just cut some parts out and popped them up with Dimensionals, either one or two high.
I am still on the fence with liking this stamp but I really like how the card came out!


For the sentiment I just punched it out with the Modern Label punch. Then I punched two more in Cobbler, cut them in half going each way, and glued them to the back. This makes a nice outline around your words.

Simply Soft, Extended

I made this card using the Simply Soft hostess set. I used white satin ribbon and died it with the More Mustard ink refill and the Aqua Pen. Then I let it dry and scrunched it up on top of Sticky tape to get the bunched look on the card. I stamped two of these flower images right on top of each other to give me a longer looking flower then the single stamp. After I stamped the Mustard on the inside of the black outline, I colored the red and green and used Crystal Effects on the petals to make them stick out and shine. I used Pear Pizzazz, Very Vanilla, More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler for this card.

I used the Mini Silver Brads here and just colored them with a permanent red marker! Then I put them through 1/4" circles and then onto the card. I really like how this came out. The silver just didn't go with the card, but the red looks great! I also took the edge of my Very Vanilla paper and just wiped it across the Cobbler ink a few times on all of the edges and put it on with Dimensionals. This really made it pop out from the card nicely.
