A QUICK AND SIMPLE FLOWER PUNCHED CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

We had an horrendous storm on Monday evening and many, many people and areas flooded.  We did NOT flood but we had almost 12 inches in our area.  Many places down in Houston proper are flooded and the Governor declared parts to be disaster areas.  

Our home was built high and dry and we are taking care of the ponding in our pasture for our horses to be able to get up out of it.  So we are all fine.  

Thanks to all who have voiced concerns for us and our horses.  And Praise God for blessing us to keep dry and safe.

I used the pansy punch and punched out on whisper white several flowers AFTER I used a textured impressions embossing folder with stripes. Then I put different color card stock behind each one and added two punched out centers to create the flower.  Tangerine Tango ruffled ribbon and marker in the stripes of the EF, along with card stock layer behind it all finished off the card.

Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card.  Thanks for stopping in.

SARAH'S WORKSHOP

Workshops during Sale-a-bration are so MUCH FUN!!  I chose for this card the designer paper and buttons that you can get for FREE with a $50 order with me.  I used the Oh Sew Suite stamp set with the adorable measuring tape and the buttons card.  LOVE It! 

I really enjoy the color combo of MELON MAMBO, DAFFODIL DELIGHT AND TANGERINE TANGO.  They are bright and cheery and go so well together.  We popped up the tape measurer on Stampin Dimensionals as well as the button card and the spool of thread.

Inside of card:  I used the saying from SWEET TREATS STAMP SET.  If you don't have this set yet - you MUST consider getting it.  I use it the most of any of my stamp sets!!

I demonstrated this simple Easter treat bag, filled it with a single serving of Skittles and gave it to my hostess:

I also demonstrated my BIG SHOT and showed them how to make fabric flowers with the FUN FLOWERS DIE and how it can cut through 8 layers of regular fabric.  It was so fun.  Oh, I demonstrated my NEW CROPADILE tool as I cut through all layers of this fabric flower and then inserted the brad center.  This is a heafy strong tool that is worth the cost for sure. 

Thanks for looking and Thanks to Sarah and her workshop attendees for participating in the fun!!

Inky fingers and glittery skin to all!!
