Flowerpot Painted Petals Trio

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes when you draw a blank, you still come out on top.  I was sure I had crafters block yesterday.  So I sat and read a novel instead.  When I made myself go back and sit down I decided to pull out a sheet of designer series paper and just design a bag and call it good.  As soon as I had this sheet of paper on my desk my brain got busy.  Cool right?

I hadn’t paired this ribbon with rich razzelberry yet and I wish I would have.  They look great together!  And then a bit of glimmer paper to frame a tiny sentiment and we are off and running.

I trimmed off a 4″ section from the whole 12 x 12 for a card front.  When I finished the other cut to give me the 4 x 5 1/4″ front I needed I was left with a choice.

Make a second card, put the remainder back with its set, or make another tiny bag to go along.  The tiny bag won.  What a cute little baby bag.

This set went together really quickly.  That is what happens when you have great product.  Just a little bit of stamping, some creasing, adhesive here and there and a ribbon on top.  I went to bed with a smile for sure.

Have a creative day!

Mixed Bunches of Sassy Salutations

Well Good Morning!  Isn’t this just a huge ray of sunshine?  Bright, happy, sunny, and they make me smile.  What a great combo!

There is something about huge polka dots that just makes me smile.  After adding a smattering of flowers and an adorable greeting, all you need is someone wonderful to share them with.

Out of this set, what is retiring?  The paper of course.  Such a versatile set, I will miss it.  The angled tag topper punch.  I am glad it have it.  I love the curled and pretty ones, but sometimes you don’t want that.  And of course the flower stamp used.  It is from a set of designed flowers that also have center round stamps for layering and extra fun.  I make backgrounds out of those all of the time.  There is a coordinating punch for the flower that I didn’t use on this one.  I didn’t have crushed curry ribbon, but the hello honey was just right.  This particular ribbon is retiring, but the color will be with us for another year.  It is hard to tell in my photo, but the ribbon is just a shade or two darker.  And I love it!

These went together really fast.  The perfect example of simple stamping with coordinating products to give it the professional look we all love.

Have a creative day!

Petite Purse Retirement Party

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

Why is this little tiny purse all alone?  I wanted to showcase just it.  I have loved this die for so long now.  Admittedly, I am addicted to die cuts that make boxes and other such things.  However, this one has always been my favorite.

Petite Purse

I kept it very basic here, just showing off the adorable flowerpot dsp and only one little punch with a rhinestone.  Simple, but perfect.  Can’t you just see opening it up and finding a truffle?  Of course you can.

I have changed out the top with other cutting or even removed it entirely and had an open container.  I have made different fancy handles, covered the top in little pearls or jems, or even smothered it button or butterfly closures.

I am so glad these dies last so long.  This is one I have enjoyed and will keep in my collection for years to come.  Thanks Stampinup! for such a fun product!  What will you replace it with?  I wonder.

Have a creative day!
