Timeless Tulips

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Spring Flowers

March 27, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features spring flower cards.

When I think spring, I think Bluebonnets or Tulips. I went with –

Tulips! Simply stamped of course!

Every year I like to create some sort of Tulip card with something that is not a Tulip.

This is no different. I used the Pretty Perennials stamp set for the flowers.

More specifically, the solid leaf. I stamped it three times, reinking each time.

For the green leaves and stem, I used the In Bloom stamp set. Nothing special, I used the leaves and a stem. I did ink up and stamp twice each leaf before re-inking again.

Lastly, the sentiment is from, ironically, Timeless Tulips! Lol!

This did take me a couple of tries. I do find that simply stamped cards are a bit more of a challenge.

And, this card is a mini slim size at 3 1/2″ x 6″. I like this size. It is so sweet. Perfect for a row of tulips!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Cindy Elam. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!

Hello!

Welcome to another blog hop for today –

We are showing off anything we are working on!

I’m playing around with Easter cards –

Cute. Silly. Quirky.

I started by finding this Easter sentiment from Timeless Tulips and stampin it on a piece of Playing With Patterns 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

I added the fussy cut eggs, although there is a die for them and the cute little bunny behind the sentiment. The bunny is a partially punched from the Daisy Punch!

This Ornate Floral 3D is so spring-like that it added just the right addition to the card.

I also used a lot of dimension on each layer. That really takes a card up a notch!

Check out what the others are up to today!

Happy Saturday before Easter!

I hope you are in good health these days! Thank you for joining my second blog hop of the day!

I am featuring a few more Easter / spring cards I sent out –

I used these Scallop Note Cards & Envelopes as my starting point.

Each card has a strip of Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper along the card.

On the card base, I added a strip of Daffodil Delight the highlight the scallops.

The adorable bunny is from the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin, No Matter The Weather.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp sets. It is sweet and works well for spring card sending.

I hope you love all these quick, easy, adorable cards.

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop! How are you these days?

Thanks for joining us! Our theme this week features travel.

Travel. travel. Really? Clearly this was set a while ago given our current pandemic! And, yes it was!

So, my card is about travel of course. Virtual travel.

I long to get away to see the tulips fields in Holland. I’d even settle for a trip to the Texas tulips fields. There are a couple of places near San Antonio….

Ok, back to my card….I stamped tulips in Melon Mambo and Poppy Parade from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. I also stamped the stunning green leaves in Call Me Clover.

I felt the strip of tulips needed a little something. I added a border from the Ornate Border Dies. (It’s from the Ornate Garden Garden Suite available in April.) Perfect addition!

The sentiment is perfect as the first day of Spring just occurred and Easter is just around the corner.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay crafty!

Happy Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!

Here is our latest two-week challenge –

Optional Theme : Letters / Numbers

So I missed the optional theme and the flagged banner. Ooooppps.

It is still a lovely card within the sketch guidelines! It happens sometimes.

I started with a base of Pool Party. I added a couple of papers from the Golden Honey Designer Series Collection (free during *Sale-a-bration). The banner in the center was die cut using one of the Stitched Nested Labels.

I stamped the two flowers and colored them with Pool Party Blends. I used the Painted Labels Dies to cut them and the decorative piece at the top out.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips. It was just the perfect size!

This is a very pretty birthday card and I can not wait to send it out!

Hello

Happy Monday! Time for something new and some challenges for inspiration!

How about this new gorgeous Soft Sea Foam vellum from the So Very Vellum Designer Series Paper pack –

Isn’t this just soo lovely??

I started with a Whisper White base. The Soft Sea Foam card stock is smaller than the vellum piece to show off how pretty it is.

The tulips were stamped and fussy cut. I layered them onto a circle with hand cut stems. To give them a 3D look, I use a dimensional at the top of the tulip, then regular snail at the bottom. Tulips lean over a bit, so this shows that off quite well.

I had two inspirations for this card today –

Color from Just Add Ink –

And, layout from CAS(E) this Sketch!–

Both helped to create a beautiful card that I can not wait to send out!

Stampin’ Up! is in the middle of Sale-a-bration*. Tuesday, March 3rd adds some new product choices! Check us out!

Blogging Friends Blog Hop Sale-a-Bration

Happy Friday!

I have two wonderful Sale-a-Bration themed cards I designed for our monthly blog hop!

I had a hard time deciding just what to get for my Sale-a-Bration choices recently. I’m sharing two of my favorites –

One, is the Golden Honey Designer Series Paper. This particular pattern is white with diagonal gold foil dotted lines. I cut it into small strips and used my Light and dark Blends to color each piece creating candles!

Pretty clever, huh? Any guesses as to what the ‘flames’ are? (It is listed in the supply list below.)

I placed them on one of my favorite die sets, Stitched So Sweetly. I use them all the time.

Behind, is an embossed piece in Eyelet Lace. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set.

It is a beautifully stunning card suitable for anyone of any age too!

My second favorite from the Sale-a-Bration offerings this year is this Kerchief Card Kit.

Normally, I would use bits and pieces of the kit and create my own design. Well, here I used the kit pretty much to the way it was supposed to be created.

The exception is the this dotted background behind the sentiment. It is actually the inside of the included coordinating envelopes!

Other than that addition and making it landscape (instead of portrait), it is good just like it is!

So, so far, two of my favorites from the offerings this year!

What are your favorites?

Check out the others on the hop to see what they chose. We just might enable you to purchase something else to get the free items, lol!

Hello Hello Hello

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

Here is our first challenge of the new year, colors –

Nice, sweet colors for chasing away the winter blues!

And, what perfect winter flower, a tulip!

This is the new Timeless Tulips Bundle! The bundle includes the Timeless Tulips stamp and Tulip Builder Punch. The sentiments in the stamp set are very versatile including Mother’s Day, Easter, birthday, get well, condolences and of course, hello!

The flowers were stamped in the same ink as card stock. Here, Petal Pink and yes, Purple Posy. (I happen to still have a pad and it appears to stamp ok.)

My ‘flower pot’ is from the Subtles 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper in Mint Macaron. The panel was 3″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 3/4″ and folder over, secured with Dimensionals. I used the Detailed Trio punch to round the bottom corners.

I secured the bottom of the punched tulips with regular SNAIL adhesive. The top is raised with a Tiny Dimensionals.

The ‘hello’ sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

The Polka Dot bow adds a sweet touch.
