Floral Phrases, Floral Boutique

Floral Phrases

The stamp set Floral Phrases has the most beautiful layout in the catalog (pages 76 & 77).  It shows the matching Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Washi Tape, both called Floral Boutique, and the matching Thinlits Die, Detailed Floral.   Today I am showing you how easily you can use the stamp set and DSP to create fast cards.  However, because the stamp set is in a bundle with the Thinlits Dies, I don’t want you to miss out on saving 10% before the catalog ends.  When the new catalog goes live the special bundle option will no longer be available.

Simple Construction, cut the DSP into three 4" strips then trim at 5.25" cut the final piece into 1/2" strips to use as an accent or border. Cut Whisper White card stock at 3.25" x 2.5" for each card.  For the card bases I used THICK Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock.  A few cards I matted with Night of Navy as well.  The first card I embossed the DSP with the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, but almost any folder will work.

Above shows how easily a sentiment can fit on a strip of DSP

 Above shows a close up of the Basic Rhinestones on the border strip.

This strip above the sentiment includes Basic Rhinestones to add a bit of bling.

I will share some ideas with the Thinlits soon!

I am honored to be taking part in this Autism Awareness Blog Hope. Although I have not had anyone in my immediate family who has been touched by Autism, a few of my friends have been. 

What Is Autism?

Autism is a complex developmental disorder that that has three core features:

1)      Problems with social interations

2)    Impaired verbal and nonverbal communication

3)     A pattern of repetive behavior with narrow, restricted interests.

Autism Fact:  Autism was initially called “Early Infantile Autism” or “Kanner’s Syndrome.

I hope you will consider donating using the link below.  Even a $1 or $2 would be greatly appreciated.

Autism Colors: Red, Blue and Yellow

Below are few fun card samples using the Autism Colors. I hope they inspire you.

I used these Stampin’ Up! Colors to represent the Autism colors of Red – Melon Mambo, Blue – Tempting Turquoise & Marina Mist and Yellow – Delightful Dejon & Crushed Colors.
