Mixed Bunch of Daisies

Without meaning to I basically took August off of blogging.  That doesn't mean I have not been a busy bee doing all sorts of other projects.   I just finished creating a set of 4 wedding banners for a friend's daughter who is getting married early Sept., and also put on a huge, very fun Christmas In August workshop for my local friends.  I've been promised professional pictures of the wedding banners, so I will post those when I get them.  Can't wait!

It's back to school time for the kids and back to my computer now and then for a new post.  I made this card a few weeks back, but for those of us who hate to say goodbye to Summer, here it is:

I saw this idea for the flowerpot somewhere on the world wide web, but can't remember where...someone is smart and used the Labels Framelits (125598) and cut the top and bottom off.  Love it!  Then I used the Blossom Punch (125603) to punch out the flowers; two Whisper White flowers for each, then cut slits in the petals at each ridge to make it more frilly.  You only need to do the top flower, as the one under doesn't really show.  The leaves are punched from the Blossom Petals Builder Punch, and the flower center scallop is the new 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch shown in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

Mixed Bunch in Pinks or Blues...

I got the idea of heat embossing with white embossing powder using this stamp set in the Stampin' Success Magazine.  I love the look.   I made this clean and simple card first in the blues and then thought it would be great in pinks as well.  You decide which you like better.

This stamp set, Mixed Bunch, and punch, Blossom Punch, are in the Occasions Mini Catalog, soon to be gone (unless it ends up in the new catalog that will come out on June 1st.  That's what I am hoping for!)  The words on the Blues card is from Friendly Phrases, and the words on the Pinks card came from a retired set.
