Stampfest at Lynette's, March 27, 2023

Lynette and I spent the day together visiting, stamping...and we even took a little walk to a nice hamburger place for lunch. We had wonderful inspiration from Lisa Hetrick and Cat Tidwell for our cards.

Our flower outline cards were inspired by Gina K's Beautiful Moments stamp set designed by Lisa Hetrick.  If you scroll down that page, you will see Lisa's marvelous Free Sketch Idea Sheet for the Beautiful Moments stamp set. Great inspiration!

For our cards, we used a flower outline stamp from a Rhonna Farrer/Autumn Leaves set called Flower Stamps. Lynette added the flower sentiment from Hero Arts. 

Inks: Stampin' Up ballet blue and yo yo yellow.

I made the two cards shown above. The first card's sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I'm not sure the brand for the second sentiment.

For this card, we CASE'd Cat Tidwell's Hugs and Wildflowers card. Scroll down to the third card.

The stamps are from Gina K, designed by Lisa Hetrick. I recently bought this set on clearance for $9.

Inks: Gina K wild wisteria and fresh asparagus

We used an embossing stylus after inking the leaves to create the "line" in the center of each.

I used a birthday sentiment from Stampin' Up on my card, stamping with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Thanks so much, Lynette for letting us invite ourselves! I'm so glad we worked on these fun cards!

Wishing you peace and all good.

Collage Flower Cards

Made this collage flower card a few months ago, after being inspired by a beautiful card received from a friend. I had so much fun making this that I made several variations. My friend's card had a similar layout including the circle of twine stapled and the banners and leaves coming from the flower.

 

Picture shows stamps used for the background. They were from the following stamp sets: 

Stampin' Up:  Looks like spring and Itty Bitty Background

Hero Arts: E2305 Window Screen Background

The leaves were cut with Spellbinders Autumn Leaves 9 cutting dies that I found on clearance from Hobby Lobby for $5.27.
