Paper Smooches Mason Jar Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a Mason Jar bouquet created with a combination of Paper Smooches products. I recently purchased the Mason Jar die set; it has been on my list for a long time!

Here are the steps I took when I made this card, along with commentary:

I stamped the Botanical stems/floral sprays in Fizz and Aquamarine on patterned paper. I’m a big fan of orange and teal together.
I cut and assembled the Mason Jar. I’m all in on die cuts of any kind!
I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine black in on patterned paper and adhered the patterned paper pieces together. I really like the orange and white gingham paper.
I adhered the Mason Jar over the stamped floral pieces.
I die-cut flowers with the Flowers and Flowers 2 die sets from patterned paper. I added a white drop to their centers. The drop helped the flowers stand out.
When the flowers were dry, I attached them to the stamped stems/floral sprays with foam adhesive. Without the dimension from the foam adhesive, these flowers just blended into the stems/floral sprays.
I adhered a twine bow to the Mason Jar. This card needed texture and the twine gave it the right touch.

Spellbinders + FSJ – Die-cut Window Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed window scene on which I have used Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey products. I’ve also included details about a huge Online Warehouse Sale for the two companies at the end of my post. Let’s take a look at the card!

I used the Fun Stampers Journey Window View die to cut the window pieces.
I dry-embossed yellow cardstock (SU So Saffron) with the FSJ Bright Days embossing folder and attached it behind the window. The embossing folder depicts the sun and its rays. I placed the sun portion in the lower right-hand corner.
I attached the window assembly to a Sea Glass card base.
I cut the birds and foliage with the A Little Birdie die set (SU Flirty Falmingo, SU Calypso Coral, SU Granny Apple Green, Neenah white) and added them to the front of the window.
I added yellow enamel dots to the white flowers.
I heat-embossed the Every Moment sentiment on SU Bermuda Bay and cut it with a circle die.

Before you head off, the Spellbinders FSJ Online Warehouse Sale is now on! This HUGE sale will run from now through Thursday, March 21st and includes $1, $2, $3, $5, & $10 Deals.

Some Bunny Loves You – Die-cut Easter Card

Hello! I couldn’t resist playing again with the Spring Animals die set to create another Easter card. (You can see my first card using the set here.)

- I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on the Bazzill card stock.
- I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ die from a now-retired MFT Blueprints set to cut the sentiment panel.
- I cut and assembled the bunnies and cut the eggs from SU Pineapple Punch, SU Melon Mambo, and SU Gorgeous Grape. I used the Picture Book Love Bear die to cut the heart from SU Poppy Parade.
- After assembling the bunnies, I added them to the lavender panel with foam adhesive.
- I dry-embossed the white card base with the SU Subtle embossing folder for a linen-like texture.

Vacation Time – Die-cut Scene

Hello! Today I’m dreaming of an island getaway! We have light snow in the forecast, and I’m ready for warmer temps. On my CAS card I’ve combined a variety of stamps and die-cuts to create a tropical scene.

I stamped the Impression Obsession background stamp twice in Stampin’ Up Daffodil Delight on white cardstock. One side of the stamp image is grungier than the other and I wanted the less grungy portion on both sides. I trimmed the panels and adhered them to an A2 base.
I stamped the Simon Says Stamp Vacation Time sentiment on a strip of white cardstock which covers the seam of the background.
I added a sand hill and straight line of ocean to the white panel.
I die-cut the Lawn Fawn crab and palm trees and adhered them to the scene.

Hope you have a terrific day!

Paper Smooches – CAS Spring-themed Floral Bouquet

Hello! The sun is out here in the Pacific Northwest and the longer days are much appreciated. I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card featuring some favorite Paper Smooches dies – Dainty Flowers and Dainty Flowers 2.

I used one of the dies in the Lawn Fawn Rectangle set (3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″) to cut the panel behind the flowers from TE Confetti Cake cardstock.
The sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Carton Cuties stamp set was heat-embossed on Gina K Lagoon Blue cardtock (Gina K Autumn Rainbow pack) and cut with a Lawn Fawn banner die.
The flowers were cut from white cardstock, as well as, SU Pineapple Punch, SU Poppy Parade, Gina K Lagoon Blue (Gina K Autumn Rainbow pack), and Gina K Lucky Clover (2018 Add-On Collection). I attached the assembled flowers to the rectangle background and covered the bottoms of the stems with the sentiment banner.
I dry-embossed the white card base with the SU Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have an incredible day!
