Flowers and More Fun Fold – Country Bouquet.
Flowers and More Fun Fold Does not look too much like a fun fold front this side does it?? Well the Flowers and More Fun Fold is VERY deceiving. The colors used here are Fresh Freesia and Night of Navy. I was very pleasantly surprised by this color combo. However, I love this Night of Navy Bordered ribbon. Sooo pretty!! Let me also add that it is super easy to tie. You can also see that I used the Medium Daisy punch. Two of the Fresh Freesia and one of the Night of Navy. Adding in a few Rusting Metallic dots for the center of the punched out daisy. Now…

Ornate Garden Flowers two ways.
Ornate Garden Flowers… Did you catch the Coffee and Cards when we made these?? The Ornate Garden Flowers was a great way to show the two different looks that you can get depending which side of the paper you use.

Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom! I do not know how many of you know, but my mom is an artist. Serious, I have paintings of hers in my house. AMAZING!! She has done several mixed media, sculptures and others. I bet you are guessing that is where my “art-ability” comes from? I hate to admit, out loud, it took me over 30 years to find it! So you can see why, just a “simple” card for my mom… will NOT do! Let’s start with the pieces… Using several punches for this card. The small bloom punch from the 2020 Annual Catalog. However at the moment I do not have…

They almost did not all fit! Dang you guys had me working for it today, hahaha!! I know, I did it to myself, right?? That Pressed Petal DSP made quick work of it though didn’t it? All these beauties with one piece of 12 x 12. These were the ones that we made during the video, mixed up the colors a bit too. No waste either. Lots of scraps used too! Keeping several of the cards a little simpler, but that DSP does so much why would you add too much?? Yeah, you know that I did…. Ribbon!!! I do love me some ribbon… although this was mostly twine. Twine…
