Birds & Branches Bundle from StampinUP along with the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper

Color Combo for my card today:
White, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock,
and Early Espresso

Just a few StampinUP Items used on this sample:
--Stitched Shapes Dies
--Birds & Branches Stamp Set
--Birds & More Dies
--Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper
--Many Mates Stamp Set

So I had a couple tiny "unwanted" ink spots
on my circle that I had to fix.  It was not an easy task
BUT, I cut out those little Pretty Peacock circles from the
designer paper!!  Yes, hard to cut & hard to glue but
I'm happy with the result!!


Thanks very much for taking the time to visit.
Come back again soon and HAPPY STAMPING!!

Jar of Flowers Stamp Set with Flowers for Every Season Cards and Envelopes

I cased this card from demo Lisa C.
Maybe you have not noticed the In-Color Cards & Envelopes
shown on pg. 154?

These are quick and simple cards to decorate & just a tad
larger than our normal size cards.
Here of course, the Jar of Flowers set & matching punch
were both used.

Don't you just love the small grouping of sunflowers
I colored with Stampin' Blends?

In this pack of cards, the envelope flaps are already
decorated and the card front is pre-printed with that white
rectangle box.


I'm so glad you took the time to visit my blog today. 
Questions and/or comments?
I would love to hear from you!!  Thanks- Lori Helvick
