Sweet Friend-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / April 15, 2022

Wow I cannot believe it is already Friday, and Good Friday at that. Can you believe that April is already half over? Easter time is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a good excuse to bake something sweet. This year my parents are coming over for brunch so I plan to make homemade cinnamon rolls.

My card today is a tribute to all those bakers in your life and features the Measure of Love stamp set. It is not only a fun and easy card, it is very colorful too!

I began with a Pacific Point cards base and added a layer of Pear Pizzazz and Melon Mambo. The white panel was cut using the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine and the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The bowls are stamped with Pacific Point, Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz inks, and yes, I fussy cut the bowls with my paper snips.

Arrange the bowls along the side and stamp the greeting with Pacific Point ink. Add a layer of white to the inside and feel free to decorate the inside with other bowl.

Happy Friday-Flowing Flowers!

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / January 14, 2022

Yay! It is Friday. I don’t know about you, but I am glad the weekend is here! The only bad thing about having time off from work during the holidays is how hard it is to get back into the swing of things again. I love working, but I also love staying home and crafting!!!

Today’s card features the Flowing Flowers set in the January-June mini catalog. I love the details in this stamp set. While the new is great, I am still in love with so many of the stamp sets in the annual catalog, so I used an oldie but goodie to pair with the flowers. Can you guess what stamp set it is?????

**Flowing Flowers page 36 January-June 2022**

I created the my own patterned paper using just one ink pad, Blackberry Bliss and a strip of Basic White CS (2 x 5¼). Ink “blotchy” looking stamps and stamp two times before re-inking to get the lighter image. Have you figured out, the set from the annual catalog?????? HINT: The “blotchy” looking stamps are from that set.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the greeting and the Layering Circle Dies for the flower. Yes, I fussy cut the flower and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adding it to the circles.

This really was a super simple card, but then clean and simple is one of my favorite things. Add this set to your collection. I know you will have fun creating with it. Our host code is: C77FJQM2. Thanks for shopping with me!

Oh yes, the mystery stamp set: Dressed to Impress on page 31 in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
