Happy Stamping!
I needed some bridal shower cards so I came up with this. It is the same layout as the pink card of the tulips. I just made it in a different colour and stamps. There is no limit to what you can do with the same layout. You can use different colours, stamps, papers or embillishments. Just let your imagination run wild.
I got a sample card from the wedding fair and loved how it looked so I made my own template. It is a little smaller than the original. I used an 8 1/2 x 11 Bravo Burgandy cardstock then cut it to 3 3/4" x 11" . I then scored it at 3 3/4" then at 7" leaving the last panel at 3 1/2" (this is the cover). Fold the scored lines. I stamped two flowers, cut it out, then taped it together using dimensional to separate the flowers so it would not be so close together. This give it some dimension. Looks better in real life (IRL). I used a slit punch on the front panel for the ribbon to go through. I cut two slits on the middle panel to hold the ribbon. The ribbon will not fall off when it is open.
This is another Mother's Day card for the class. First time using the lace background stamp. It is such a beautiful stamp. I'm so glad I finally got one. The big flower is stamped and cut out. I curled the petals using a pair of scissors. The little yellow flower is punched out from the Spring Bouquet Flower punch then mounted on with dimensional. I sponged around the card base and the so saffron paper to make it nicer.
I saw this card on Splitcoaststampers (SCS) from Jeanne Streiff and loved it so much I cased it(copy and share everything). She does beautiful cards. I only changed the sentiment. I needed to make some samples for Mother's Day card class. This is one of them.
This one was a quicky. Nice and simple. It took me five minutes to do it. Well, the thinking took another five minutes. There is glitter on the flowers but you can't see it in the picture. The Happy word was stamped, then punch out with a large oval punch. There was no larger oval so I mounted it onto a regal rose cardstock, then cut around it. I wish there made a larger oval punch. 
More baby cards! Here is another card I have made for a baby shower. Lots of people I know are having babies so I have to make lots and lots of baby cards.
I made this card the same as the Mother's Day card. Just changed the sentiment. A lady at church asked me to make her some Mother's Day cards and I loved how it turn out so I made some for myself but put Birthday Wishes instead. No ribbon and no eyelet. The two yellow dots on the window punch pieces are just little dots that are punched out using 1/4" punch and glued on. For anyone who doesn't have any eyelets or the right colour that will match.
The flower in this card was stamped and cut out of a seperate piece of paper then mounted on the card. This made it stand out a little. Next time I'll try the stampin' dimensionals to mount the flowers so it will not look so flat.
This oak tree card was from the set Lovely As A Tree. I did a soot technique to make this card. It is a fun technique to do but kind of scary if you're not careful. Playing with fire is always dangerous. Always have a tub of water handy when doing this technique. You can find the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. It is a great site to go to for inspirations and techniques. 
For this card I used Pretty In Pink cardstock for the card base and stamped On the Spot onto the White Whisper cardstock. I adhered a pink grossgrain ribbon through the centre of the card. Next, I used the two step stamping technique on the tulips onto the Whisper White cardstock and taped it to the Pretty In Pink cardstock . I just got this Riveting hostess set and had to use it. I cut the circle freehand.
I used Perfect Plum cardstock as the base for this card. As you can see there are also three different green cardstocks, Old Olive (the crimped one), Mellow Moss and Certainly Celery. I used the direct to paper technique on the stamped image of the tulips. Now it is not so blah. I then randomly stamped the little flowers onto the Whisper White cardstock to make a background paper and adhered this to the Perfect Plum cardstock. I stamped the "thanks" from the All Year Cheer(I) set onto a scrap piece of Certainly Celery cardstock and punched it out with the large oval punch. Put it all together and voila!
