Framed & Festive cards

Got to play with items from the Fitting Florets Collection yesterday! I used my favorite new holiday stamp set - Framed & Festive! It's only available while supplies last along with the beautiful Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper! But the coordinating Framed Florets stamps, dies, and bundle are available now through the spring in the upcoming January-June 2023 Mini Catalog!

I showcased two cards during my weekly Lunch & Learn Facebook Live on Wednesday. I'm loving how there are so many coordinating embellishments with this color palette of the DSP!

Fitting Florets DSP

You can watch my Facebook Live video here:

First off, I used the oval dies from the Framed Florets Dies to create the frame in Polished Pink and an oval in Basic White. I stamped the greeting in Night of Navy ink on the oval and die-cut the flowers from the Designer Series Paper. My embellishments choice are a bit surprising...the Sweet Sorbet Metallice Woven Ribbon and the Festive Pearls. The Sweet Sorbet ribbon has more of a pink tone so it coordinates so nicely with the Polished Pink! The pearls are Soft Succulent, but take on a Balmy Blue hue on this card.

Maybe you've heard me say that when I attack a new package of 12 x 12 DSP, I start by cutting that first sheet into 4" strips. It sure makes it easy for cardmaking! And that's what I did for both of these cards.

The strips of the green Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper are 1-1/2" x 4" and make a super-easy backdrop for any focal point. Here I used the Decorative Circle Punch for the sentiment and the beautiful Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon for a special hand-deliverable card. And don't forget to keep those 1/2" strips of white cardstock to use for small sentiments!

Be sure to scroll all the way down to see the supplies used for these two featured cards.

Honor Flight Card Night

I'm so grateful for those that helped make over 30 cards last week to give to the veterans for next month's Lake County Honor Flight! If you're unfamiliar with what the HONOR FLIGHT is...

Lake County Honor Flight celebrates America's veterans with a multi-day trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. The Lake County Honor Flight works diligently to raise funds to make trips available to veterans at no cost!

If you'd like to learn more about ways to help,

please visit: www.lakecountyhonorflight.org

Please contact me if you'd like to know when the next Honor Flight Card Night will be!

Here is an up-close look at the cards in case you'd like to recreate them! Some items used are retired, but you can always swap out products. Hope you're inspired by these card ideas to make cards for our veterans and active military members.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Cottage Wreaths

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Our September 2022 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world...including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia! Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles! You may have arrived from Annettes's Blog...what a great project!

Our projects this month focus on items from the July-December Mini Catalog. I chose the Cottage Wreaths because it is a great bundle to use during the fall through the end of the year! Below is the card that I created using the Cottage Wreaths Bundle. The Designer Series Paper comes from the Annual Catalog....it's called Happy Forest Friends DSP. My card base is Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock...I always forget that we have the Thick Cardstock in VANILLA too!

To get the autumnal look to the leaves I inked up the wreath in Crushed Curry Ink and then added some Cajun Craze ink with a Sponge Dauber. The wide ribbon is the Natural Finish 7/8" Ribbon and the bow is Linen Thread. And of course, I had to add my FAVORITE embellishment...some of the gold Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins from the July-December Mini Catalog!
