Who doesn’t love a card which is quick and easy? And what about when that card is cute to boot?  It’s a slam dunk for sure.  I think you’ll agree these are cutie patootie Tutti Frutti cards.  This is a great little layout that really shows off any designer paper you may have.  From cute Pear and Apple paper…

to Strawberries and Blueberries…

to pretty Pineapples.

The sky’s the limit! Just add a sentiment, accent it with a “fruit punch”, add a snippet of ribbon and you are good to go.

#FF0004 Easter

It’s time for the Festive Friday Challenge, where every challenge is a party! This week for FF0004, we are honoring Easter, which is celebrated on April 1st. The twist this challenge is “Flowers”.  You can create an Easter card, or a card featuring flowers, or an Easter card with flowers!  Don’t you just love these twists?  Any way you decide to create is fine with us! We would love to have you play along with us, so get started creating and don’t forget to  link up with us.

But before you run off to grab your stamps, that cute designer paper with the flowers and inks, let’s take a look at what I created!

FF0004: Easter and/or Flowers

Easter

Sometimes it’s fun to pull out a stamp set you have not used for awhile, and so it was with Butterfly Basics.  This set was my “go-to” set when it first came out, and it was well-loved for sure! I used it for one of my Stamp of the Month Club sets back in the day.  But like a kid with new toys, as new sets came out, this one was placed on the shelf – until this week when I pulled it out for this card.  I sat down with a cup of tea and reminisced with my “old friend”.  I hope you enjoy today’s card.

I used both parts of this week’s challenge, creating both an Easter card AND using flowers.  I started with a collage background…

added fussy cut flowers which were water colored with Blender Pens and inks…

SRC: Bubble Over Edition

It’s time for the Stamp Review Crew: Bubble Over Edition! If this is your very first visit to one of our hops, the Stamp Review Crew is a group of international Stampin’ Up! demonstrators whose mission is to do a blog hop on the first, third and fifth Mondays of each month. Our hops are unique because each of us features the same stamp set used in a variety of ways, giving you loads of inspiration for that set. The hops are archived at the Stamp Review Crew blog. You will be able to click through each hop at any time, going directly to the posts for that hop whenever you want. This week we are featuring the Bubble Over stamp set.  If you are following along in order, you have just arrived from Charlet Mallett.  She is SO talented. After visiting me, you will continue to the next stop, the incomparable Linda Callahan. She has never made a card that I haven’t absolutely loved.  She has such a creative eye.  Enjoy this week’s hop!

Bubble over is such a cute set.  While many of the cards created with it are designed using bright colors, I decided to use a more subtle palette. It’s an easy card to create, and one which could be used not only for birthdays, but weddings and anniversaries, too!  I hope you enjoy today’s card!

The Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder creates such a soft look, especially when created from Soft Sky card stock.  It’s the perfect backdrop for the heart, which was watercolored in Soft Sky and Sweet Sugarplum.

Myths & Magic Iridescent Glimmer Paper, silver metallic thread, and a single rhinestone add the perfect amount of bling.  A vellum bottle was die cut, and placed over the Sweet Sugarplum to add to the softness.

The sentiment was stamped in Basic Gray and then cut apart in order to stagger its placement on the card.

This card will be sent to one of my Boxer buddies who is celebrating her birthday in a few days. She adores soft colors, so I think this will be a perfect card for her.
