Sending Wishes with Petal Potpourri

This card is a CASE from Linda Heller's Stamping School and uses two sets from the Occasions catalog. The doily flower is from Petal Potpourri; the sentiment is from the Butterfly Basics stamp set. The "window" in the Blackberry Bliss card stock is cut using the Window Frames framelits and Big Shot. I love how the points match up! The doily was stamped using Sahara Sand ink on Very Vanilla card stock. The lace is the Sahara Sand Lace Trim from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions catalog.

More Petals!

Here are two cards using the same CASE of stampingpals blog I saw on Pinterest. The card on top uses a flower from Petal Potpouri and I added a button for the center and a few sequinsfrom the 2013-2015 In Color Sequins Assortment. I tied some Soft Sky cotton Twine along the bottom and threaded it in the button, too. The Designer Series Paper at the top is from the Best Year Ever pack.
The lower card uses the flower from the Crazy About You stamp set. I stamped it four times using a darker shade of ink each time (Blushing Bride, Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze). I punched the Blushing Bride flower out using the coordinating punch and then fussy cut the other layers of the flower out. I've used a Garden Green brad to hold it all together. The leaves on both cards use the stamp from the Crazy About You stamp set. The DSP on this card is from the Gold Soiree Specialty pack. It has a slick finish. Pretty papers! Crisp Cantaloupe thick baker's twine is tied at the bottom.

 I really tried not to buy this stamp set and matching punch. But I just saw too many great cards made with it and I did want the Crazy for You stamp set that has one flower that coordinates with the punch. So... if I was getting the punch I might as well get the bundle and use the punch even more, right? Right! I am so glad I did. I've had such fun with it.
I made the upper card first and liked the layout and the colors just decided it looked too drab for this time of year. (As I prepare this post we are experiencing negative temps again. UGH!)
The lower card is my second design using the same layout but switching the colors and the flower from the Petal Potpourri set. The brad in the center is one from my stash of retired stuff as is the Calypso Coral ribbon.
The "thanks" comes from the Another Thank You set and I cut that piece of card stock using the Ornate Tag Topper punch in the Occasions catalog.

Petal Potpourri

And while I had the embossing powder out I decided to give a few other cards on my "try this" list a go. Here's one using several new products from the Occasions catalog. The crocheted flower from the Petal Potpourri set is stamped on Vellum card stock and with VersaMark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. So pretty!
Then I cut them in half to layer along the Coastal Cabana card stock which was stamped with the little dot image from the Work of Art stamp set.
The ribbon is from Sale-a-Bration's Best Year Ever Accessories pack. This year the items in Sale-A-Bration will only be available through that period. So, if you like a product get it now.
I punched a little heart out of Coastal Cabana card stock and stuck one of the new Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers (page 28 in the Occasions catalog) on top. It gives it a nice shiny touch!
Hello is one of the words in the Hello You Thinlits Dies. Just remember to layer some wax paper between the thinlit and your card stock and the word will pop right out.
