Paper Crafters Sampler April 2015 – The Potting Shed

Springtime and the flowering season is upon us.

It’s time for getting down in the dirt to weed the garden and plant fresh petaled pretties.

What a great time to beautify your home indoors and out.

The April 2015 Paper Crafters Sampler “The Potting Shed” celebrates the flowering season. In this issue you’ll find beautiful paper floral creations.

Melanie’s template of the month is a Garden Trowel with a triptych design. Embellish the inside and outside, securing the closure of the flaps with the trowel handle.

Here is a sneak peek of my project- a 3D gift with cards included.

Check out this month’s issue along with past issues at The Paper Crafters Sampler. You will get complete detailed step-by-step instructions to create all the projects using current Stampin’ Up products when you subscribe monthly or yearly at a discount.

SU Memorable Moments with SU Blessed by God

April 15, 2015

My sweet friend needed a card for a priest celebrating his 40th Anniversary serving in the church. Wow…what a milestone! And, wow, I had to come up with a good idea…well, truth be told, it was not too hard since I had the SU Memorable Moments stamp. The name says it all- Memorable Moments. Of course, the SU Blessed by God set worked in well, too. I just stamped in a cross under the celebratory message and added an inside sentiment that was perfect! I think that the fancy, ornate flourishes on the Filigree Frame embossing folder tie in well with the beautiful church architecture I am sure the priest is surrounded by daily but the little flowers were a tad too feminine so I just covered them with a black accent strip across the middle.

I used the colors at ColourQ #287 this week-

Basic Black, Basic Gray, white, and a ONE spot of color.

Check out the Blessed by God and Memorable Moments stamp sets: I LOVE THEM!

Blessed by God

SU Something Lacy with SU Let Your Hair Down

April 13, 2015

Happy Monday, kids !

I love the sketch that the talented Jen Mitchell gave us this week at Freshly Made Sketches # 181, don’t you? I hope this slightly askew sketch with the photo taken at an angle doesn’t make you a bit dizzy!

I used the totally awesome SU background stamp Something Lacy with the Spring Flowers embossing folder (both in the Occasions Catalog) with this simple sketch. I thought the bold sentiment from the Hostess stamp set Let Your Hair Down and some black candy dots were a great fit with the black and white:)
