Just in time for Stampin' Up's Designer Series promotion....
This little basket is made from the Blossom Box die. I just got my box of goodies that I ordered from the 2011 Idea Book and Catalogue and I couldn't wait to try out this die. I don't like to waste paper so I made the tag from the extra strip that was left over. You can find the tutorial for the basket here Download Blossom Basket
This was going to be one of my cards for the SUDSOL Blog Tour on May 17th but I'm too excited to wait. I came up with some other ideas for the tour so I can share this one early. It didn't photograph very well but the fish bowl is vellum with the kitty hanging over the side. I made up FREE downloadable instruction sheets for the cards I'll be sharing over the next few days and for the blog tour. Here are the instructions for the Fishy Friends card Download Fishy Friends. I hope you come back to join me for the tour!
I tried weaving ribbon through the doily triple layer punched shapes. I used the 5/8" satin ribbon on this one. The bear is from the Teddy and Train stamp set (I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it doesn't retire). The sentiment is from the hostess set Something to Celebrate from the occasions mini.
Here's a card using the Blossoms Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. I punched blossoms from a 2-1/8" strip of Whisper White card stock to make a negative for the Celery flowers. I trimmed the Celery mat to a 1/2" frame so the Bashful Blue would show through. I took the centers out of some blue rhinestones to use on the flowers. The ribbon is Marina Mist Taffeta.
I was trying to find something different to do with the new Triple Layer Punches. Here's a quick and easy spring card made with the Doily Triple Layer Punch and the Trendy Trees stamp set.
