Pumpkin Pick A Petal

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

I had a chance to stamp almost all day on Friday so I got a few challenges done and tried a few new things. It was such fun and I still was able to make dinner, pick up the house and do a couple loads of laundry in between!

This card uses my poor neglected Pick A Petal stamp set and one I newly acquired that I've been wanting for ages, Stem Sayings. I also used Taylor's Cupcake Challenge for this week.

I started with a Whisper White (#100730) card base and added a mat of Pumpkin Pie cardstock (#105117). Next I added a square of Razzleberry Lemonade DSP (#115675) and stamped the greeting from the Stem Sayings stamp set (#115078) in Jet Black Stazon ink (#101406). I stamped the polka dot petal image from the Pick A Petal stamp set (#115042)in Pumpkin Pie Ink (#105216) on Whisper White cardstock and then added the loopy petal image in Jet Black Stazon Ink. I cut each petal out (didn't take as long as I thought!) and adhered them to the center with a Dimensional and some Snail. I stamped the center flower in Rich Razzleberry ink (#115658) and then stamped off and did it again giving me a darker and a lighter version of the same color. I cut those out, punched them with my 1/16" Hole Punch (#101227) and added a Circle Fire Rhinestone Brad (#109110) to the center and adhered it to my flower using Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The lighting wasn't great when I took this picture but you get the idea. :)

Hope you are having a terrific day! Come back again to visit soon!

Hugs,

Pick a Ladybug

Hi Stampers! Sorry for posting so late. I had a garage sale here this morning and now I'm exhausted!
Today's card is a cute one. I started with a white base, added a crimped piece of black cardstock with silver brads to the side, and stamped the wings of my ladybug with the Pick A Petal stamp set. I cut them out and adhered them to a black 1 3/8" circle and added it's head made with scissors and the slit punch. I adhered my ladybug with dimensionals on white cardstock matted on Wild Wasabi (retired)with the corners punched out with the ticket corner punch. The sentiment is stamped in black on WW, sponged red on the edges and matted on black. The corner is accented with a Real Red word window punch folded in half with a brad stuck through. It's one of my favorite cards since I really like ladybugs (because they remind me of my mom )
Ingredients:
Stamps: Pick A Petal, Hugs and Wishes Paper: black, WW, Wild Wasabi, Real Red Ink: Real Red, Black Accessories: Scissors, Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, Crimper, silver brads, Ticket Corner Punch
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday! See you tomorrow!
