So here I am on the Cricut Message board, minding my own business as usual.. LOL "Right!"
There was a post about these Kitchen Sink Stamps.... of course my curiosity got the better of me, and I had to go check them out... well.... FLOWERS! I'm on a flower kick right now - if no one else noticed. LOL
My Dad's favorite flower according to my Mom is the pansy... she always plants lots 'cause he likes them... and I saw that set... I just HAD to have them!
First, it seemed like the price was a little steep... well, for what you get, it's NOT!
Second, I couldn't believe how FAST the shipping was!! WOW! I ordered early Thursday morning, and they were here Saturday!
After looking around the website for some tutorial assistance, I made these!!!
My parents will be traveling during Father's Day, so Mom will take it along for a personal delivery.
I used the new EK success punch for the top border cuts - inked the blue edges with my new Brilliance Sky Blue Opalescent ink... (also used for some of the flower stamps) and popped the pansies with some 3M foam squares. I also inked the largest nestability scalloped oval cut with the same sky blue ink.
You can see the popped flowers better in the 2nd pic. I also added one of the larger flowers on the envelope.

Very nice cards. Love your kitties too!
Hi Susan -
Just had to pop in and say what a pretty card! Love you color combo and your flowers look so pretty with the stripes! Your dad is sure to love it! :D
Thanks, Maria....
It's funny how those stamps work... you think it can't possibly look good when they're layered, but it turns out so awesome... I ordered more of the Stampin' Up inks to use and get more color combinations.
I hope he likes it too... not too 'flowery'... that's why I used the stripes. :)
Such a pretty card - thanks for the info about the stamps - I may have to get some of those! The layers are really interesting.
