Florals in Bloom Birthday Card

Hello! I made it back from OnStage! What an amazing event. It is sensory overload sometimes but I love it. I met so many ladies who love to make cards, scrapbooks, or a host of other paper crafts. We get to see new stamps, dies, and all the pretty stuff and see demonstrations of how to use the products. It is just the best time!!!

I had time in my craft room yesterday to decompress and try and clean up. There are card kits left over from my February class that need to be made so I took the opportunity to make a video. This pretty card looks like spring, doesn't it? Shy Shamrock is the card base color and today is St. Patrick's day, how appropriate is that?

As usual the Designer Series Paper is the star of this card and was my inspiration for the card. It's called Florals in Bloom. Most of the sheets are full of flowers which can be a bit busy. This card features smaller pieces and is a 'calmer' look. I combined the DSP with Impressions Abloom bundle which is already retired. The two step stamping for the flowers allows many options for the colors. We used Berry Burst and Pretty in Pink. Heat Embossing the sentiment on the label adds detail and is fun to do. It is like magic when you heat up that dull powder and it starts melting and become shiny.

This is a really easy card to make. Here is the video Link to see how the card is made.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time, take care.
