Wow, this one was fun. I love the flower stamp and how big and bold it is. I used a technique of adding a second color to the edges of the flower petals with a sponge dauber. This is a lovely way to add more dimension on any stamped image. The splatter used here gives the card some texture.
Measurements:
Pear Pizzazz card base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”
2 Pieces of Highland Heather 4” by 5 ¼”
2 Pieces of Whisper White 3 ¾ ” by 5”
I finally used several pieces of scrap to cut paper for my sentiment and backing material.
I have enjoyed making cards for this series, it definitely makes me think. I think the hardest card to make is the simple first card. It is so much easier to keep adding layers and depth, and difficult to make it simple and easy. It is counter intuitive, but true. Mother nature doesn’t worry about colors matching, so neither did I. I love the outcome on this one.
Measurements: Card 1: Shimmer White card base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”

I am so glad that most of you have enjoyed the “Simple to Simply Stunning” series, I have too.
These are not normally my colors, but I just loved this kit. I had so much fun and I am sure you could come up with a few more designs yourself. I have seen one where the lemon was turned into a fish with the leaves acting as a tail and fins, lol! It is such a cheery set to work with.
In addition to the kit, I used complimentary card stock colors for bases. I also used the envelopes in the card front designs.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. Let me know if you have questions.
This card was created as part of a SWAP challenge for my Ingenuity Inker’s team. It was fun to create and imagine a new way to use the doily. I am really pleased with the outcome on this one.
Measurements:
I started with a Petal Pink Card base 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored and folded at 4 ¼”
then I used a piece of Gray Granite 4” by 5 ¼”, for the inside of the card
a piece Peony Garden DSP, Gray Pattern 4” by 5 ¼”, for the front of the card
and a piece of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock 3” by 3” to back the doily
Scrap Blackberry Bliss and Gray Granite for the sentiment
and finally a square cut from another doily for my decoration near the sentiment
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to let me know if you have questions.
I just love peonies some of the ones in my garden are this color, I also have soft pink and some that are almost raspberry color. This die set appears complicated, but it is not. In the video on this card I give detail step by step instructions on just how to put the die pieces together with stunning results. This is a great congratulations card anyone would be thrilled to receive. The gold laser cut piece adds a touch of elegance to the card.
Measurements:
Melon Mambo Card base 11” 4 ¼”, scored and folded at 5 ½”
2 pieces Blushing Bride 4” by 5 ¼”, one for the inside and one for the front of the card
One panel from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper
Scrap Melon Mambo for the Peony, Scrap Old Olive & Scrap Mossy Meadow for the leaves,
and a small piece of yellow for the flower stamen
I love the result on this one. Be sure to let me know if you have questions.
This is the most amazing Kit, I love the colors! The kit makes 16 cards, and they are lovely. In this video I make the cards largely as they are intended. The images are stunning, and I could easily say just cutting the card fronts in half and adding just a bit of complimentary cardstock could easily double the output of cards.
The kit features:
standard size card bases 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″, scored and folded at 4 1/4″
The card fronts cut at 4″ by 5 1/4″
Embellishments and ribbon are included, as well laser cut pieces, ribbon labels ad beautiful envelopes.
Some of those envelopes could be sacrificed to extend the kit by using it as a card fronts.
Thanks so much for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions.
