Organic Grace

Our caring card ministry was gifted many  stamp sets, embellishments and paper products.  Occasionally, I try to incorporate these into a class.  We are SO ready for spring here I was inspired to make a spring flower card!(Snowed another 4 inches last night and we also had sleet:  :(  so we missed school again!) 

This was stamped with the set Organic Grace from 2008

The base is Wild Wasabi and the accent piece is Calypso Coral

I stamped the background using Crumb Cake 

The ferns were stamped with old Olive and the flowers with Calypso Coral.

But I can imagine it with many other color combos as well.  

The sentiment is stamped with Teeny Tiny Wishes

I love the 3 dimensional  effect 

flowers of differing sizes

 punched leaves 

and the glitter glue for some added interest.  

This card is suitable for Birthdays, Sympathy,  Anniversary, 

Get well, to cheer you, 

praying for you, thinking of you, Friend to Friend, etc.

Button Buddies

I had received a cute button buddies card front in a swap I recently participated in and used that as the basis for an upcoming stamp class.

Each card base is 3.5 x 3.5 inches
the "middle" card stock layer is 3 x 3 and the stamped layer is very vanilla cut 2.5 x 2.5
I inked most of the edges of the very vanilla with a coordinating color to create depth and interest. Each sentiment is stamped using the Teeny Tiny Wishes set (expensive but very versatile and a must have for serious stampers!) the modern label punch and the word window punch.

 

This little piggy is ready to party!  His hat was created using Pennant Parade.  Card stock is Melon Mambo and Lucky Limeade.  I made the button nose using Sweet button embosslits die.  Cute Huh?

 

What a cute way to say...slow down!  Colors are Marina Mist and Garden Green.  This one uses a real button from the Regals collection.

Get well wishes uses some non-Stampin' Up stickers, Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry (retired) papers. 

 

I love this corduroy button as an embellishment!  I added a punched pat that I had "glitterized" to another card I made!  Very cute!

Here are the remaining cards...

and as a set

Happy Stampin"
