Fields In Bloom~Fun Fact Friday!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Fun Fact Friday /

Did you know there really is a famous flower field in California. The Flower Fields is located in Carlsbad, California and host over one hundred thousand visitors annually. No joke. There are 13 different color varieties of flowers planted and the 10 weeks of color takes about 10 months to prepare. 55-acres are devoted to raising the ranunculus bulb crop; approximately five acres are used for other specialty flowers. Who knew?

Today’s card reminded me of the Flower Fields in California. I hope you enjoy looking up more fun facts about this beautiful place in California.

I began with a Peach Pie card base and added a layer of Garden Green. My flowers consist of Peach Pie and Garden Green, not as many colors as the fields in Carlsbad. I added a few birds in my fields, but I understand if you visit the real Flower Fields there is an amazing ocean view. Sounds spectacular. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Petunia Pop & Textured Floral

Just Because Cards /

Happy Wednesday. Wow this has been a busy week. So sorry I just ran out of time and so there is not a video today, but I am excited to share a little Petunia Pop with you. I guess some weeks are like that but hey at least it is a short work week with the holiday. I hope your holiday weekend is safe and blessed.

So I began with a Petunia Pop card base. I am really loving this new In-Color. I paired it with some Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive to create this fun card. My flowers and leaves are from the Textured Floral stamp set. I created three 1 x 3″ panels of Petunia Pop and randomly stamped the images on each panel. You could stamp and then cut, either way would work. I already had some scrap cardstock so I cut and then stamped.

I mounted the stamped images on some Blackberry Bliss panels that measure 1-1/4 x 3 -1/4 and attached them across the front of my card base. I then added the greeting from the You are Beautiful stamp set on the bottom of my card. Believe it or not this card came together in less than 10 minutes.

Again, I hope you have a blessed holiday weekend. Be safe and Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
