Happy Greetings

The air is on already and at 11 am it was 94 degrees outside. Not quite as humid today but still an uncomfortable day.

One more day until card class. I really look forward to the second Saturday every month. I have so many nice friends who come to have fun and make cards. Hope you can join us one of these months.

This card is using one of my favorite stamp sets and DSP. Stamp sets are Fabulous Florets and Happy Greetings. Cardstock is Pacific Point 4 1/4 x 11, Whisper White 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, Beyond the Garden DSP 3x4 (2 different pieces same size). I used scraps of Whisper White to stamp the flowers and sentiment on, and scraps of Lucky Limeade for the leaves. Rose Red, Daffodil Delight & Tangerine Tango are the inks used. The ribbon is 6" of Lucky Limeade Ruffled ribbon and the centers of the flowers are sparkling with our new glitter glue. I used the Scallop Circle Punch for the sentiment and my Paper Snips to cut the flowers. The leaves were punched with the Blossom Petals Builder punch.

Hope you like it as much as I and will get inspired to make your own.

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you soon.

Hugs,

June

Fabulous Florets

I have had a rough week and just decided I need to post anyway. I did something to my back and left hip at my last card class and have been barely able to walk all week. I will see the doctor tomorrow and see if there's anything she can do about it. It is getting pretty unbareable.

We are under a flash flood warning today, however it is sunny and warm and I don't see the threat of rain and thunder they are predicting. We could use some rain but no floods or thunder please.

Here is another card from our July card class. I love this paper and the stamp set. I used Fabulous Florets and the sentiment is from Upsy Daisy.

I started with a So Saffron card 4 1/2 x 11. Then layered it with Tangerine Tango 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. Next layer is Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4. I then went with a smaller layer of Tangerine Tango 2 1/2 x 5 and covered it with a layer 2 1/4 x 4 3/4 from Beyond the Garden DSP. I then took two pieces of 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, one Pumpkin Pie and one Daffodil Delight, tied them together around my layers in a double knot. Next layer is So Saffron 2 1/2 x 4 and then Whisper White 2 1/4 x 3 3/4. The flowers were cut out with scissors and put on with dimensionals. I used Old Olive and Tangerine Tango ink.

Hope you like it as much as we did. It is such a bright and cheery card. It would also be good for a get well card or sympathy card.

Thanks for stoppin and I'll see you soon.

Hugs,
June

Fabulous Florets

I am feeling much better and ready to get back to real life. You are probably thinking it is about time.(lol) So much dizziness is not fun at all. It is so nice to be thinking straight again and not in a whirlwind all the time.

This is the last of the May card class cards. It's a good thing because I would like to get June's cards posted before my July class on the 9th (12th if you are a Tuesday participant).



For this card I used Daffodil Delight 4 1/4 x 11. Next layer is Beyond the Garden DSP 4 x 5 1/4. The Poppy Parade layer is 3 x 4 1/4 and the Whisper White is 2 3/4 x 4. I used Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Black Stazon ink. I stamped the leaf design on the whisper white layer and stamped the flowers on whisper white pieces and cut them out and attached them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Very simple but a nice, bright and summery card.

Thanks for stoppin in and hope to see you soon.

Stampin' Hugs,
June

Happy Greetings

It is a cloudy Saturday morning and I really did not want to get up, but here I am. The last week has been cool, in the low 60's and it looks like we will get rain tomorrow. I am ready for the 70's and 80's to come back. I like spring to be warm and sunny.

Here is another May card class card. We did have fun with so many things from the Summer Mini. I do so enjoy my card class ladies. They are so much fun and seem to enjoy making the cards and laughing and joking together. If you live in the area you really should come join us. The next class is on Saturday June 4th at 1pm at my house and for those who can't come on Saturdays I also will have one on Tuesday June 7th at 1pm. Hope you can make one. Just email me at june.switzer@yahoo.com to let me know you are coming.

For this card I used the sentiment from Happy Greetings from the Summer Mini. I also used Beyond the Garden designer series paper and the stamp set Flower Fest. I love these stamp sets that co-ordinate with punches. I used Tangerine Tango and Whisper White cardstock, and the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White and cut it out with the Scallop Oval Punch and then cut another oval from Daffodil Delight with the Wide Oval Punch to mat it. I used a strip of 5/8 Daffodil Delight Satin Ribbon to cover the seam in the center. I stamped the flower in Tangerine Tango and cut it out with the 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle Punch.

What a bright and cheery card to send to a friend! I wouldn't mind receiving something like this, would you? I hope this inspires you to buy and use supplies from the Summer Mini. I know you won't be sorry you did.

Thanks for stoppin in! See you again soon.

Hugs,
June
