Pretty Petals Card Set

Another fun day at the Store, it’s always a good time with a crop! Suzanne made the wedding card from last week’s class and loved it! After work I came home and stopped by my Parents. My Brother also stopped by, he had a wake to go to for a friend of his that was only in his 40’s, so young. Jim came by around 7:45 and we went to dinner at the Oak Chalet where they have some pretty German food. We watched a movie when we got back to my house and chatted for a bit before calling it a night. Today I’m off to Manhattan to help my friend Tia set up her new MacBook. It’s supposed to be a nice day too, let’s hope that the weathermen are right! 😀

I have really been into the one layer cards lately. It’s nice to be able to make a card with just some stamps and ink! I made a set of four cards today that will make a fun and useful gift for someone! The card bases are all Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I stamped the flowers from the Concord & 9th Pretty Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set in Lawn Fawn Ballet Slippers, Bubblegum, Fresh Lavender, Sugarplum, Minty Fresh, Merman, Sunflower, Carrot and Black Licorice Ink using my MISTI just in case I had to stamp them more than once. The Happy Birthday greetings are from the Concord & 9th Happy Words Photopolymer Stamp Set and are stamped in Black Licorice and the thanks is from the Concord & 9th Give Thanks Photopolymer Stamp Set, also stamped in Black Licorice. Super simple cards but that nice big flower gives a fun look to them! I hope that you enjoyed my little card set for today! Thank you for taking the time to come by and see me! Have a simple and fun Sunday! 🙂

  1. Justin,
    I LOVE this card set!!! The flowers are so beautiful! It’s hard to believe they are one layer cards.

    1. Thank you Gerri! I am really loving one layer cards lately! Makes for a nice simple project! 🙂

  2. Absolutely Gorgeous color combos Justin! If one didn’t appreciate the beauty of single layer cards it certainly would be easy enough to change up putting these beauties on a background sheet of card stock. I think they are gorgeous just the way they are – single layer. It’s always good to have some “quick” cards around for when time is limited. Thanks for sharing these Justin. The colors are delicious.

    So, you get to go to Manhattan again today. Good for you. I hope you do a few fun things as long as you’re there. Toni-Lynn and I were going to do a selfie for you yesterday but she was helping me reorganize the stamping part of my craft room and we got so into it we forgot about the selfie. Sorry. You have yourself a Peaceful Palm Sunday my friend. Love & Hugs to you, XXOO 🙂

    1. Thank you Grace! I do love that flower, so nice and bold!
      I did enjoy Manhattan as I always do! It was nice to come back out to the island and go for a ride in the convertible! LOL! I would have loved a selfie! You’ll have to remember next time! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂

  3. Gorgeous, Gorgeous flower by C&9. Don’t you just LOVE these Lawn Fawn Ink colors. Such brilliant and vibrant color. So very nicely done!

    I just made my first Starry Sky and used LF’s Out of This World Stamp Set. I then made the colored images into Stickers with my Xyron Machine like they showed on the LF Blog. So fun and so cute! My Great Nephew is going to LOVE his BDay Card. Ya’ see, I’m not just a Good Aunt, I’m a Great Aunt!!! =)

    Have BIG fun!!!

    1. Thanks Lynn! I do love the flowers and the Lawn Fawn Inks are fast becoming a favorite!!
      I love that stamp set, I have used it a lot! Perfect for little boy cards! We need more sets like that! You are definitely a Great Aunt! 🙂

  4. Hey Justin . . . enjoy this beautiful day in NYC!
    I love these cards . . . crisp and clean and very striking.

  5. Love these cards, Justin, with the bright colors and fun fonts for the greetings. Have a great day in the City. It’s so pretty here, I have to get outside to enjoy it.

    1. Thank you HJ! The city was fun but I had more fun when I got back to the Island! Hope that you got to get outside and enjoy! 🙂

  6. This set is awesome. I love the flowers in the different colors. Gorgeous day today, upper 70’s and sunny. I was scrapbooking, pure relaxation. I haven’t gone sine November. 30 photos and one card kit completed. Not a bad day.

    When I came home my son finished painting my room!!!!! Now to get a desk, LOL

    1. Thank you Linda! I do really love that flower! Look at you getting lots of stuff done!! Go you!
      Your son is a good guy!! 🙂
