Welcome to my stop on the SUDSOL Summer Mini Blog Tour!



I'm so glad you're here!
My samples are simple and fast but I think you're going to like them!

Let's get started. My first project is a card made with the new Flower Garden Embossing Folder.
The embossed image is strong enough to carry the card and the bold red and black contrast. Simple but striking!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Shimmery White
Accessories: Flower Garden Embossing Folder, Real Red Satin Ribbon, Real Red brads from the Brights Collection.

This next card uses the delightful Touch of Kindness stamp set.
Isn't the kitty cat adorable?! 
And all the sentiments fit nicely into the flower which fits perfectly into our 1 3/4" scallop punch.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Peach Parfait, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Ink: Bashful Blue, Peach Parfait, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Poppy Parade
Designer Series Paper: Peach Parfait "In Color" pack
Accessories: 1/4" Grosgrain Bashful Blue Ribbon, Scallop Squares Duo die, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch

The next card is simplicity itself, but will still stand out in a crowd:
This card uses the Summer Mini Hostess Level 2 stamp set Love & Care, and the flowers are embossed with the new coloured embossing powders Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi. You can see the shine!

Supplies: 
Cardstock: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
Designer Series Paper: Wild Wasabi - Subtles pack
Accessories: Embossing Powder - Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi; Scallop Squares Duo die; Scallop Edge Border punch.

The next sample is a purse and note card set and features the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch:
I love how easy it is to layer the three punched images:

And you can even cut them in half and use them for a border:

Or cut them in quarters and use them in the corners:

You can place them anywhere and they make a lovely card:
The sturdy purse is made using the Petal Cone die for the sides:
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette
Designer Series Paper: Subtles Collection - Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette
Ink: Certainly Celery
Accessories: Basic Pearls, Tasteful Trim die, Blossom Bouqet Triple Layer Punch, Scallop Trim Border punch


My final projects were made using patterns and directions chosen from the hundreds in the SUDSOL Creative Files:
Packaging makes all the difference, and here are two ways to dress up a small gift that will make the recipient feel very special.

The first is a Tea Bag Holder:
And the larger container is a Bag in a Box - perfect for a half dozen cookies or brownies or candy.
Together they make a lovely gift, and are quick and easy to make!
Supplies:

Cardstock: Pacific Point
Designer Series Paper: Beyond the Garden
Stamp Set: Punch Bunch
Accessories: 1 3/4" Scallop Circle punch

Cookie/Treat Bag:
