floral essence

thank you for being so sweet

Hello friends! I had a chance to visit the Taylored Expressions store in November. It was such a fun visit and included a super cute make&take project! I was introduced to (and completely hooked on) Mini Slim cards. These cards are 3.5″x6″. I have been having a lot of fun creating in this size.

I decided to play along with Taylored Expressions #TEmakerchallenge for January.

I love the Rio color pallet: Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, Confetti Cake, and Blue Raspberry. I used it with the Zig Zag Mini Slim Stencil.

My “something that begins with A” is and anemone flower from the Stampin’ Up! Floral Essence set. I created the flower center by distressing some Lollipop card stock and gluing the paper fluff to the flower center. I finished off the card with a Simple Strip sentiment and some clear drip drops.

A cheerful card to send to a friend. Thanks for stopping by! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Hello! I thought I’d pop on today to share this super quick card. It is a really simple card that looks great thanks to the GORGEOUS Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper.

DSP’s bring a lot of detail to a project on their own. But, you can alter them to fit your needs by stamping on them or coloring them. For this card, I stamped the outlined flower on the left edge of the DSP in Blackberry Bliss ink.

I kept the sentiment panel simple to let the stunning paper take center stage. (Sentiments panel and card base are Blushing Bride.) I added a layer of vellum behind the sentiment for more depth and finished off with silver metallic thread and some Frosted Epoxy Droplets.

This sentiment is suitable for a variety of occasions: wedding, new job, moving, even graduation.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are inspired to try personalizing your own DSP! Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!
