Pretty Perennials #1 Card Classes -simplestamping

This #simplestamping card uses a 1" circle punch as I was creating cards using only the stampset for a class. This same concept is one I used recently. Although the small circle punch is no longer available there are several small punches which will work with this layout.  I recently posted  this card which was CASE'd from the Sale a Bration Brochure. You can see more details here  . At class we used the same concept but a different punch- if you had the dies you could cut the flowers individually. It is some #simplestamping using the gorgeous Pretty Perennials set. Here's another version using only 2 colours. The possibilities are endless. same, same but different there are just so many ways to use this stampset once you get going. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz

CASEing the Catty #303 the Sale A Bration Catalogue- SIPP using Pretty Perennials stampset

Playing with the fabulous Pretty Perennials set and looking for ways to use it without having the dies or fussy cutting the word Happy- wish there was a die for that! I love SIPP- Stamps, Ink, Paper and Punch. Of course the Catalogues are great places for inspiration and I was instantly captivated by the card using the postage stamp punch. I love to be able to use products I already own to extend the use of new sets.  For this card I punched the shapes first and then stamped the flowers off the edge of each,  but you could easily do it the other way around. I felt the white postage stamps were a bit lost next to each other at first so I punched a few more black postage stamp edges and added them to the left side of each stamp. ( also a great way to use us scrapys) And after I stamped each flower I repeated it on the inside edge to add some fun to the inside.

Best of flowers

Just a simple card with no sentiment, using the best of Flowers Set stamped with Pistachio Pudding and punched out with the 1" square punch, layered on the postage stamp Pistachio layers. Each of the images has a tiny bit of highlighting using the Pool Party marker The DSP is Modern Medley and I have scored a frame on the base white card using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and added highlights with strips of Pistachio Cardstock stamped with Pistachio ink and the Hydrangea stamp for a background effect and a decorative strip of Pool Party cut with the Finishing Touches Edgelits .  A quick card to create, and quite a soothing colour combination, Thanks for looking, Liz
