New Paper Flower Embellishments

Happy Friday, y'all! It is absolutely beautiful here in FL today - sunny and 80 degrees! I was basking in the sun earlier when my boys had a friend over to play. I hope this weather decides to stick around a while.

Celebrate Today & Everyday - Day 2!

Good Morning Ladies! Hoping today is as productive as yesterday, so I will make this a quick one!

I love this stamp so much, I just had to use it again! I got my inspiration for this card from here.

This time, I stamped both the large and small flowers and the large leaf in the Friends 'Til the End set. I colored everything with my Copics and cut them out. The top flower was popped up using foam tape and Stickles were added to the center. I stamped the smaller flower on Ripe Avocado using Vintage Cream ink and stitched it to some Hibiscus Burst cardstock. I used the Modern Label punch (SU) to create the tag and stamped it using one of the sentiments from the Autumn Abundance set with some Avocado ink. I added some pearls (KaiserCraft) to the tag as well. The card base is Vintage Cream and the total card size measures 4.25 x 4.25.

Here are the Copics I used:

Supplies: Stamps - Friends 'Til the End, Autumn Abundance (PTI); Paper - Vintage Cream, Hibiscus Burst, Ripe Avocado, Stamper's Select White (PTI); Ink - Vintage Cream, Ripe Avocado, Copics; Accessories - Stickles, Pearls (KaiserCraft), Modern Label Punch (SU), foam tape, sewing machine

Hope you liked my quick birthday card! Have a great day! ~Tori

Celebrate Today & Everyday! and an awesome find!

Happy Monday Ladies! I am on a roll today! This is a busy week with class parties, Halloween, etc on top of all of the sports activities going on too, but I feel like I am in front of the 8-ball for now!

(Hoping to stay there all week! LOL!)

~~~~I added new stuff to my Etsy store this morning!~~~~

I have a cheery and bright birthday card to share with you today made using all PTI ingredients.

I stamped the small flower and leaf from the Friends 'Til the End set, colored them with my Copics and cut them out. I popped it up using foam tape and added some Stickles to the center of the flower. It's hard to see, but I stamped the small flower on the Ripe Avocado layer in Spring Moss ink(you can click on the picture and see it better close-up). I used the Threading Water border punch from Fiskars with some Spring Moss Cardstock. For the base of the card, I stamped polka-dots from the Polka Dot Basics II set onto Hibiscus Burst cardstock. The sentiment is from the Autumn Abundance set and was punched using the Modern Label punch from SU. I added an Avocado button and some linen thread to the tag.

Here are the Copics I used:

~~~~~~~~On to my Awesome Find!~~~~~~

Remember my Cocoa Packet post from last week? Well, my BFF, Dee, found these awesome mugs at Target!! I think they were about $2.99 each! How perfect of a match is that? LOVE it!

I plan to make some teacher gifts with these this year and include some marshmellows and maybe even a Starbucks card! She found some that also were a good match to the PTI colors: Spring Moss and Ocean Tides! Look for more of these from me soon!

Gotta run! Busy, busy, busy.... Hope your day is productive! ~Tori
