Gina's Little Corner of StampinHeaven

Today is my dear sweet Grandma's 98th Birthday!!  She just recently moved from her family home where she was born and raised to an apartment for Seniors.   Not an Assisted Living mind you.... an apartment complex for 55 and up!!   She loves getting cards from me so I try to send one to her often.  I created this card from the Blossom paper pack and used the Shower Flowers stamp to create bunches of flowers.   The flowers match the those in the paper.  I hope all the colors make her happy. The Blossom paper, compliments and Coral Reef Sequins will be retiring at the end of August!  These are now on a While Supplies Last basis so if you really like this paper, be sure to get it before it is gone forever! Products Used: Blossom Paper Pack - X7196B Blossom Compliments (chevron strip) - X7196C Shower Flowers - C1612 Glacier Extra Thick Twine - Z3039 Coral Reef Sequins - Z3042 Smoothie Ink - Z2196 Sunset Ink - Z2191 Glacier Ink - ...

This month my clubs will be creating these two layuots I designed using the Blossom Paper pack.  This paper is so pretty!!  I love the flowers and the colors.  I gave my ladies a break from stamping and used only the matching the compliments and added the coordinating Blossom Assortments and Coral Reef Sequins for the final touch.  So easy!! The above layout has an added element - Flip Flaps!  The picture sizes on the right page are 4 x 5 mats. We don't have flips flaps that measure 4 x 5 but making some to fit is easy!  I just cut off the bottom of the 4 x 6 flip flap and then 'sealed' the open edge with our Sunset Chevron Washi tape!  How cool is that?! - and yet another use for our fun washi tape! Products used for these two layouts: Blossom Paper Pack - X7196B Blossom Compliments - X7196C Blossom Assortments - Z3072 Coral Sequins - Z3042 4x6 Flip Flaps - Z4114 Sunset Chevron Washi - Z2005 ...

I had a very productive time on my Spa Girls Retreat this past weekend!  It is always fun to get together and share creative and business ideas!  We had such a good time!  I got most of the things on my To Do list finished!  I'll be sharing those creations over the next few weeks! One of the very first things I worked on was designing the cards for my May Artfully Sent class.  This time we will be creating three Baby Cards with the new Blossom Paper pack. The first card on the left is a Pop-Up card.  Here is a closer look - front and inside: Next is the Swing Card And finally the sentiment card: If you are local to me and wish to attend the class contact me!
