Frilly Flower Notecard

Hello from design team member, Heidi. Today, I could use your help. I don’t know what this flower stamp is. I have a feeling I should know, but I don’t. I am pretty sure it isn’t an orange flower, but I really wanted it to be orange, and that is the power of stamping, you can really do as you please.

I stamped three flowers and colored them with alcohol markers. I fussy cut them out, but I really didn’t feel I needed to be too careful with it. I then added a bunch of glitter glue to the flower. It looks so pretty when it dries down on the orange.

I did a simple arrangement for the flowers over an oval die cut and then added a sentiment strip and die cut butterfly to ground the card together.

This flower stamp is so affordable and so pretty!

It is called Flower on Stem at the Blank Page Muse shop.

The sentiment was taken from a large sentiment set called Everyday Phrases, and this one is at the I Brake for Stamps shop.

If you know the flower, or think you might, please comment! It is one of the things that drives me nuts!

Thanks for visiting today!

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words!

Hi Crafting Fans!

Today I'm sharing some altered tags using some fab stamps available at the "I Brake For Stamps" site.

Half Sheet "The Old and New"

Phrase "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words"

These tags were easy to make - I used some thick paper towel that I had used as a mat when I had been painting in my journal so it made a perfect background for these tags!

I stamped the images onto white cardstock and adhered to the tags along with some muslin and cotton scraps.

To finish off I added a little flower "gem" as Audrey's earring for some added sparkle and tied some twine to the tops.

Hope you feel inspired to do some creating - even making something quick makes you feel good!

Rosy Thank You Card

Hello from design team member, Heidi. Today I have a pretty thank you card to share. I like to have a lot of these around because I tend to need a lot at once.

I stamped and colored two of the Rose images and colored them in. This is such a detailed stamp that it was very easy to color. I fussy cut them out.

I, then, stamped the Thank You onto some patterned paper. I also cut an oval window out of white cardstock and embossed it.

After this all there was left is to assemble the card by using a bit of bright pink cardstock for a mat. I thought about adding glitter, but in the end left it alone.

The stamps I used are both in the Blank Page Muse shop:

Rose flower with leaves by Terry Sproul

Fancy Thank You stamp (my favorite thank you stamp!)

Love Me some Monsters Card

Well this adorable Love Me Set by Carmen Medlin Designs is super cute and makes an adorable card.

Supplies Needed:

Start by stamping your Love Me Set by Carmen Medlin Designs onto white cardstock. Color your image as desired.

Die cut colored image with heart die.

Cut papers from Blank Page Muse Cyan Consortium 6x6 inch sheets Paper Pack designed by Pam Bray to fit your card base.

Cut a strip of Cyan Consortium and adhere to your card.

Quick Valentine LOVE Card Set

Hello from design team member Heidi!

Today I want to share an idea to quickly make 4 elegant Valentines.

First choose 5 patterned papers. I chose ones that have subtle patterns, but this would work with bolder patterns, as well.

Then stamp your LOVE stamp on 4 of these. Cut the other patterned paper into 4 2.5 inch squares. (If you are using a bold patterned paper, you may wish to white or silver heat emboss the stamp instead.)

Cut out all the letters individually, leaving a slight border. With a black alcohol marker, create a faux matte around each letter. (This sounds fussy, but it really doesn’t take much time, especially compared to actually cutting and glueing a black mat.). Also use a colored marker to color in each letter. I used a dusky purple marker.

Mix up the patterns and arrange the letters on each 2.5 inch square of patterned paper. I highly recommend using liquid glue for this part so that you have time to move the letters around evenly! Also, matte this on a 2 3/8 inch black cardstock.

I decided to go over the letters with a sakura glitter pen to bring out the letters and make it look more valentiney.

Not just use this as the focal image of your card! I just embossed some pink cardstock, added some ribbon and some glitter glue to finish this easy cards! You could finish them in a simpler way or more ornate way, depending on how much time you have!

Here are my finished cards!
