How about a cute little ensemble of potted posies?
I used the Stampin’ Up! Basket of Blooms stamp set and the Small Bloom Punch.
I paired it with the awesome Field of Flowers stamp set. I played with some different colors- Gorgeous Grape, Bumblebee, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness, and Pumpkin Pie. I easily fussy cut the terracotta pot out of Terracotta Tile Cardstock. I put a little pennant end on each side of the sentiment strip. The Field of Flowers has super sentiments and images…and comes with a border punch that cuts out the little flowers!
A simple little decorating on the inside.
I also made a card that I colored in the images. I used Shaded Spruce ink and Blends markers for the stems and Gorgeous Grape ink and Highland Heather Blends for the flowers. I added in some retired Glitter Enamel Dots to the middle of the flowers. I also added a little linen thread bow.
My card, or should I say his card, got a few oohs and aahs at our family take-out pizza dinner, too! It’s nice when your kiddos comment on the cards you make:) It was super easy to fussy cut the cards, too.
The Happy Birthday sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set. I am on my lost pack of retired black rhinestones but the red ones are still available:)

Here is the Father’s Day card I made for my hubby yesterday…
although he mostly enjoys wine not whiskey…lol.
I used the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. Each sheet has photographic images of wood, tile, stone, and other textural cloth elements. I LOVE the top portion on this card- isn’t is just awesome? I colored my whiskey with a So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker then colored over it with Light Soft Suede Blend to get a good whiskey color. My ice cubes are just colored with the So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker.
I added a little bling with some Gilded Gems that really look nice in person.
I love the sentiments in the set. All of them are so cool!
Now…I have to get to work to make him a birthday card…it’s only three days away!!!
The June 2020 Paper Pumpkin “Box of Sunshine” is here!
I will be sharing MY Box of Sunshine and other alternative cards next week but wanted to show you how I used the exclusive stamp set in the June kit to make this fun card with the NEW Stitched Triangles Dies!
As soon as I saw those Stitched Triangles Dies, I immediately thought of a sun with rays coming from it, did you? Knowing the June 2020 Paper Pumpkin was a Box of Sunshine, I knew they would go together!! *Looks like the sun was in my eyes when I put the sentiment on a little off;)
