ICS BLOG HOP-TIMELESS TULIPS

 

I can't believe we are already getting our spring on & talking about Mother's Day!!! Now I know it's a month away, but crafting needs to start early! So on this month's Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop you'll get some good "girlie" ideas-and what's more girlie than moms-and what's more moms than Mother's Day! 

Here's my card this month:

I did decide on a Mother's Day card. This is a fairly simple card using the beautiful Flowering Fields DSP as the main focal point! They are lovely tulips! This DSP is beautiful! And fortunately it coordinates fairly well with the Timeless Tulips duo-Timeless Tulips stamp set  & Tulip Builder Punch. Getting my last hurrah out of the stamp set for sadly it's retiring this year.  But you can still get it until May 2! 

The Pastel Pearls will continue over, but the                                               Highland Heather Grosgrain ribbon will not.  Only other supplies besides inks & paper are the Layering Circles Dies. Not sure what I'd do without those!

Hope this inspires your Mother's Day creativity! It's also a lovely girlie card for any sentiment-just change out the sentiment! Girlie to me means colorful & flowery & pretty! And I think this card qualifies!!!

ICS-TIMELESS TULIPS

Welcome to our April 2020 Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!!! While we are all keeping close to home (at least I hope you are!), let this hop bring you a ray of sunshine!!!  It's just like we're all hanging out together-yet way apart! 

This month we are focusing on monochromatic "girlie" cards! These are some of my faves to create! It's a bit of a challenge to stick to one color (with white, vanilla or black of course), but fun! And my "girlie"friends like to get my cards so here's mine! I went with a "girlie" Easter card because I can't see any of my "girlie"friends this Easter. So sad.  I decided to go with red-in particular 

Poppy Parade- as it fit the stamp set, and flowers because, well, "girlie"!!! lol

So here's my card:

I actually did 2 versions of this card because I couldn't decide which I liked better. This is the 2nd. I just thought it needed "something", and being limited to only red couldn't do any green stems or anything.  IDK, which do you like best? Would love the feedback.

Either way, the stamp set is Timeless Tulip.  I. love. this. stamp. set! So pretty and so easy to use with the coordinating Tulip Builder Punch! Seriously-Stampin' Up! does all the work for ya!!!! I did, of course, needed to use the Very Vanilla and the Basic Black for the stamping.

I sprayed the whole card with some bling! I mix the 

Frost White Shimmer Paint with some rubbing alcohol in my 

Stampin' Spritzer & spray away! See the sparkle here? Wasn't sure if it showed up in the original pics!

Other items used were the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, Metallic Edge Ribbon, Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends and the Corrugated Embossing Folder.

Now please keep hopping to Audra's blog to see which color she used! Just click her name or the icon below! This is the perfect way to "visit" with so many friends yet still keep our social distancing! I know you'll find many creations to enjoy!!!

Please stay home. Stay safe.  Stay stamping.

Happy Stampin'!!!!
