2 Card Friday! :)
Happy Friday! My day yesterday was so crazy I didn't have a chance to post anything new so today you get 2 cards! :)
First, I used my new 3 Step Honey Bunny set from Kitchen Sink Stamps to create this simple card. Do you think it's too plain? I really am loving the simple, uncomplicated designs lately but I wonder what you all think? One of my favorite flowers ever is the Gerber Daisy so I was so excited to see a 3 step gerber image as part of this new set! It comes out so pretty! With the 3 step flowers I always need to practice several times to get a sense of how the images line up, but once you do a few it's a piece of cake! This flower would be so pretty in so many colors!!Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Shimmery White, Dp is from Charlotte Collection (Scenic Route), Stamps: 3 Step Honey Bunny, 3 Step Hey Chick! (sentiment), Inks: Cameo Coral (stamped off), Regal Rose, Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Accessories: Brown organdy
Next, here's another peek at the new Paper Pretties sets being released on Sunday, March 9 at 8 pm EST as part of the Pretties' Pajama Party. The Pajama Party is sort of a virtual stamping night with your girlfriends. Come on over to the Forum and check in out - there will be prizes and of course, you can see the new stamps!
This card again uses the 2 new sets, Flutterby and Sassy Circles. I used the image of the polka dots to create my card base - it was so easy to line up the dots and create the look of patterned paper! I used some retired SU! dp to paper piece Sophia's dress, then I colored the flower with a white gel pen and then colored the center yellow. After I added the white prima flower I used a Bella Bauble for the center but colored it with the same yellow Copic so that it would match Sophia's flower. 
Cardstock: Papertrey Stampers Select, Pretty in Pink, dp is SU! (retired), Stamps: Sassy Circles, Flutterby, Inks: Palette Noir, Accessories: SU ribbon (retired), Prima, Bella Bauble, White gel pen, Spica pens, Copic markers, Corner Rounder punch, DimensionalsThanks for coming to visit! Hope you have a great weekend and maybe I'll "see" you Sunday night at the Pajama Party! :)
You are SOOOO not fair!! Posting a card with 3-step gerber daisies?? I mean, what are you trying to do to me?!? I LOVE it!! And you know me, I love simple layouts.
ReplyDeleteYour Sophia card is just too sweet, and I LOVE The Sassy Circles on it. Creates a perfect background!!
Have a wonderful day!
Many Huggs,
Jana
LOVE them both, Julie! Love that Daisy! Adorable and Flutter Sophia is perfect with pink polka dots! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think your card is too plain. It is lovely the way it is.
ReplyDeleteSophia is so cute with her paper pieced dress. Love the trio of daisies, great colors - so cheerful
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful Jules! You know I like simple so I think the first one is very beautiful and feminine and well, you know how I feel about Sophia - LOL! You did a beautiful job both with her and the background!
ReplyDeleteThese are so very cute Julie!! Love that little gal! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
ReplyDeleteToo Plain?!?!?!?! Surely you jest! None of your cards EVER look plain. They are always picture perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am REALLY liking the 3 step stamps...I may have to get some....
ReplyDeleteWay cute! Those gerber daisies are SO realistic looking. Wow.
ReplyDeleteSuper job on sophia, cute as always! Sweet job on the sassy circles. YOu're right, they are easy peasy to line up for a quick, cute background!
Great cards, both. I love the depth you get with that three step flower. Now...your blog makeover is outstanding!!! I am so impressed, and yes, a bit jealous. Even if I had someone to design for me, I would have no idea what I'd want. This is entirely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards!!! The gerber daisy stamp is fabulous!!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I honestly thought those daisies were some new assessories you had picked up. Jana and I are having a very hard time resisting those 3-step stamps.
ReplyDeleteGOR-JUS!!! Love the daisy card; it's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! The daisy card is definitely not too plain! At first glance, I thought the daisies were stickers as I have seen similar ones at Michael's. Your Flutterby card is also sooo sweet! Love the colours and the polka dots!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the cards here today, Julie....but you sure do make those kitchen sink stamps difficult to resist! I absolutely adore the pink flowers....they are so pretty! And of course, who could possibly resist Sophia...she is just too precious! Thanks for sharing with us! Hugs, Barb g
ReplyDeleteLove your cards....what a fun flower...great card design. Love that sophia stamp too...might just have to break down and spend money!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so pretty! I love your floral card...such pretty colors! And that little Sophia is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these!!!
ReplyDeleteThat daisy card is gorgeous!!! I'm going to have to bookmark this page so that I can save the pic and CASE it!!!! TFS
