Our weather here in Southwest Florida has been glorious and many of our flowering trees and bushes are flush with color. Here is a picture of a tree in my front yard:
These trees always have unique shapes and stunning flowers each March. They are called a Tabebuia tree and they have yellow or pink flowers. Now doesn't this say Spring?
And so I was inspired to create …
The colors are Daffodil Delight and Baked Brown Sugar. The flower stamp is from the Best of Sale-a-Bration stamp set and resemble the flowers on the tree. Remember the Best Of stamp sets are only available through May 31st! Best of Stamp Sets available here.
The linen thread is the perfect touch. The Live Happy sentiment is from the current Sale-a-Bration set You're Lovely. A great stamp set that can be yours for FREE with a $50 purchase!
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you are having a fabulous Saturday.
This layout was inspired from a card I saw on Pinterest, then I couldn't find the original post to provide the proper recognition. A clean and simple thank you card – perfect for spring!
I just love the Ruffled Ribbon, it is so easy to use and becomes an instant textured edge. The tag was created wtih the Angled Tag Topper Punch – this is a keeper! I am sure this will be a hold over to the annual catty.
The "thank you" sentiment came from the Starburst Sayings stamp set and matching Framelits. Remember when you purchase as a bundle you save 15%! Then I layered it on a 1 1/4" scallop punch. Three pearls as embellishments, finishes the statement.

The Stampin' Mojo for my card this month was inspired by flowers at church this weekend. The vibrancy of the varied purple flowers against the dark green foliage was striking.
The card is non-standard 6 1/2" x 4". With the Envelope Punch Board I no longer need to stick with a standard size card!
I used two different floral stamp sets; Secret Garden and Simple Stems. Both of these sets work with the Secret Garden framelits! I love when I can we can leverage the framelits with multiple stamp sets. I added Basic Jewel Rhinestones to the center of the daisies and a little Dazzling Details were added to the centers of the other flowers.
My intention was to trim the flowers that were hanging off the Very Vanilla layer. Then I laid it onto the Old Olive layer and thought…I'll trim it along this layer. But again I didn't want to trim it as you can't take it back right? So I decided to allow all the dimension of the layer flowers to remain key to the card and simply let the flowers overflow off the whole card.
You can see a little more of the shimmer and sparkle to the flowers here. The thank you sentiment comes from the Happy Watercolor stamp set.
I plan on sending this to a family friend who hosted a dinner party this past Saturday because I was in town. She and her husband are still lively and fun as they approach their 80th birthdays. That is the way to live, they are a terrific inspiration to me.

Today is the birthday of an office colleague. She is originally from New York and worked in Manhattan most of her life. She loves fashion and is always styled to the nines. She has a pair of shoes for every outfit – or so it seems. So for her birthday I strive to make her a birthday card to appeal to her fashion style.
I love this card…Classic and Elegant. On the inside I included a birthday sentiment embossed with white embossing powder so it is crisp and jumps off the page. The jewel is a Frosted Finishes Embellishment from the 2013 Holiday Catalog.
Do you think I captured a bit of fashion style with my card design?
