The first Sale-a-bration set I fell in love with was Flowering Fields. There are 7 different flower images that can be used separately or all together to make a garden. I sat down this morning to make some quick and easy cards to have on hand this month. They all follow the same design which makes it easy to crank out several at a time.
These can be duplicated with a few stamp pad colors and very basic supplies. The card bases are all cut from Crumb Cake cardstock. The accent designer paper strips are from the coordinating Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper pack (free Sale-a-bration item).
I used half a tea lace paper doily on the side of each card…and Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine for all of the bows (which by the way is on the Weekly Deals this week). Very clean and simple.
Have you noticed that there is no coloring involved? I said simple and duplicatable. I rounded the corners using our Envelope Punch Board. If you have had troubles with small corner rounders, the corner rounder feature on the board is VERY easy to use with a high success rate:) It’s the one I always use.
This one looks a little different because I simply cut a piece of designer paper instead of white cardstock as the mat…but it’s the same basic design. The tag on top is just a 2″x4″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock put through the Ornate Tag Topper Punch. The “enjoy your day” is punched with the Washi Label Punch.
I have a couple other samples from my team to share with you as well.
This first one was made by Donna Wizniuk. I love how she put each flower image on their own panel. Again, very clean and simple…with minimal coloring.
And this one was made by Kathy House. She embossed the Blackberry Bliss card base with the Fluttering Embossing Folder. The delicate gold metallic foil doily adds a little elegance to this card. So pretty.
I hope you are inspired by these samples and find some time in your day to create. There are opportunities all around us to be creative each day. It’s good for the soul.
Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
