I glued a piece of striped paper to my card blank. I cut a piece of copic friendly cardstock and stamped my images. I die cut a sentiment border along the top edge and the '50' in the bottom corner. I coloured my images using copics then added sparkle with the glitter pens. I glued the panel to the front of my card. The final touch was glossy accents to the nose and eyes.

birthday flowers...

• SU!-too kind & happy birthday everyone 
• SU! Ink pad- calypso coral & pear pizzazz 
• Archival 'jet black' ink pad 
• wink of stella- clear

I cut a mat of white cardstock and stamped my floral images. I used the same coral ink pad for the two step stamping, by 2nd generation stamping to create the lighter shade. I inked the card blank with the same coloured ink pad to coordinate with the flowers. I stamped the sentiment slightly overlapping the flower stems and added glitter over it to complete the card.

Wondrous wreath...

• SU! ink pads - cucumber crush, garden green, watermelon wonder
• Archival 'jet black' ink pad
• Stickles- candy cane

• 6x4" red card blank
• White cardstock 

I cut a matt of white cardstock to fit my card blank. I stamped the wreath image, using different coloured ink pads for the different layers of this image. I added red glitter to the berries and left it to dry. I stamped the sentiment and then added the banner image to frame this. I used the coordinating die to cut this out, then attached it to my card panel using foam tape. I glued the panel flat on to my card blank. The final touch was to add a bow to the bottom of the wreath.

I stamped dots to create a decorative panel for my card and die cut this into shape. I then die cut the word friend from the panel and kept the inside pieces for later. I then glued the panel onto the card and carefully added the floating pieces back in place to complete the word.

I stamped the rose and 3 leaves from the stamp set and die cut the images. I had to use 2nd generation stamping to get the right shade of some of the colours. I attached the leaves flat and the rose using foam, according to the sketch.

flowers for you !!

inside

• sizzix circle and scalloped circle dies
• SU! mum's love
• archival ink pad: jet black, watering can, carnation red, rose madder, venetian orange, chrome yellow.

• SU! sassy salutations (for inside)

I 2-step stamped the flowers on a mat of cardstock and glued this to the card blank. I stamped my greeting and die cut it into a circle, then matted this on to a scallop circle. I added glitter to the 'for you'. finally I added this topper to my card using foam, (you could just glue this straight down to keep it flat for posting!!)

 

for the inside of my card I cut a piece of cardstock to fit and stamped a flower in the bottom corner. I stamped my sentiment and added a final touch of glitter over the sentiment.

big blooms...

 

• 6 x 4 card blank
• SU! 'flower patch' and sentiment stamp (sorry I got the sentiment 2nd hand with no name label)

I kept this card really simple with the bold flowers as the main feature. I stamped the different flowers and leaves to build up the image and finished it off with a sentiment stamped in the corner.

pretty florals ...

stamps: baby blossoms (two step stampin') & petite pairs from stampin' up!
inks: archival ink pad (coffee, olive, rose madder, vermillion)
cardstock: craftwork cards digi cardstock, 4x6 card blank
extras: scallop oval & large oval punches from stampin up! also a stampin up! stamp-a-ma-jig (if you have one you will know what I mean, if not all you need to know is that it is the simplest thing in the world but makes life so much easier, especially when doing two step stamping like the background of this card)

I inked my card blank in brown and matted a piece of white card on top. I cut out my banner shape in some white card, ready to be stamped with the background. I created the background using the baby blossom set I have from stampin up! (of course you could use pattern papers or any other stamps you like, I just made my life hard by doing two step stamping... this means I had to line up and stamp the base colour, a highlight and the foliage for each flower separately.) I then matted my banner onto a larger one I had inked brown. I added the finishing touch of a sentiment, which I stamped on white and cut out using an oval punch, then layered this onto a scalloped oval punch which I again had inked brown to co-ordinate.
