Beauty of Friendship

Today’s cards continue the nature theme this week. This stamp set is part of another fun Suite of products call the Beauty of the Earth. Filled with natures images and colors it is a wonderful option for creating year round cards and masculine cards.

This Suite of products has it all – stamps, dies, a 3D Embossing Folder and Designer Series Paper! Who can resist that for hours of creating?

Check out these lovely cards using the Beauty of Friendship Bundle and other items from the Suite. This first card has a ton of texture, both in look and feel since it uses both the Bark 3D embossing folder and the Designer Series Paper.

And how about some simple 2 step stamping using Pear Pizzazz and Evening Evergreen Classic Inks?

A bit of sparkle and shine was added with the Gold 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561). The Tailored Tag Punch (145667) makes this sentiment quick and easy too. Punch a second tag shape, cut it in half and layer the sentiment for another pop of color. And how about this cute idea? Use the shape to create grass and our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) add a pop of color and flowers to the grassy area. These flowers come in 3 colors and 2 different sizes giving your lots of flower fun!

This next card has wonderful rich colors and perfect for the men in our lives since it uses the rich Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).

And finally this card is wrapped up in a Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (153658)

whew! Love the variety this Suite gives us. I think the Beauty of Friendship is a wonderful option for our crafting needs. What do you think?

#imbringingbirthdaysback – Garden Impressions Birthday Card Tutorial

Have you seen the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper yet it’s part of our July Buy 3 Get 1 Free Promotion? If you haven’t you’ll want to check it out since it is packed full of patterns that are great for making lots of cards since it comes in a 6×6 stack.

If your birthday is in July your card is already in the mail with a little special something just for you. But if not I thought I’d share this quick and simple card that highlights our Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper.

For this month’s cards I’ve used different patterns with the same colors and basic layout. I chose the So Saffron and Shaded Spruce since these two colors were prominent a lot of the papers so they were easy to make multiples.

It made this paper  a natural choice when I needed to make lots of birthday cards for my #imbringingbackbirthdaysback. Here is what I came up with –  multiple patterns with the same basic layout – which I just love since they look different enough I could send them to family too.

I’ve created a quick tutorial for you so you can make some too!

It holds Merci chocolates of course. Not too much, but just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth.
