Tulips

Just Thinking of You Today

March 2, 2023 · 1 Comment

Hello my stampin’ friends!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary challenge!

Here is our current color challenge –

Some wonderful colors for . . . . . . tulips!

Wouldn’t you agree?? This Flowering Tulips and Tulip Dies is still current! And still just as lovely as can be!

After stamping the sentiment, I used the Something Fancy Dies to cut it out. It was out on my desk and worked perfectly! Do you ever do that? Use what is on hand or in front of you?

As I stamped the stems and leaves to the left of the layer, the ribbon helped to fill in the space to the right!

Have I inspired you to pull out your Tulips and play with them?

Check out the other Design Team cards on our Create with Connie and Mary blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Let’s Get Away

March 21, 2020 · Leave a Comment

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!

Please remember to support your favorite Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Many depend on classes and online orders. With our current situation, it has become extremely difficult to get the crafty word out through in home classes and support our home based businesses. Online orders are always welcomed and greatly appreciated!

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

Happy Together Tulips

A special request. It’s nice when family requests a handmade, personalized card for an occasion.

Sometimes though, you need a starting point after all your own ideas are not cutting it.

I turned to Create with Connie and Mary for my inspiration here –

It’s a unique sketch that I was drawn to. I felt that it would work for what I wanted to create. My vision.

So, combining a few requested elements, this is what I came up with –

Sort of quirky. Sort of spring-like. Really sweet.

Each tulip I hand punched three times from the Bird Builder Punch. Whew. Lots of punching! And, gluing.

Since the soft color of the Mint Macaron looked like grass – well, I fringed the top.

Hard to tell, but all the tulips are popped up on the Color Me Irresistible Specialty Paper. It comes with plain colorable sheets and already colored, embossed looking sheets. it was a nice added touch.
