Here is my first card:
Here is a detail shot:
I used the Sweet Surprise Card Kit centers and card for this one.  I stamped the large sunflower three times and cut each into sections after removing the center.  Then I glued the pieces around the center filled cup.  I used the small sunflower matted with two different card stock papers at 1/4" increments to create a sticker to back the cup on the inside.

Here is the second card:
A little tone on tone stamping for the base and a couple of scrap strips provide the base for this label and a few Art Philosophy die cuts.  Finish it off with a button and here you have a very easy card.

And the card:

This card was made with Cricut and Art Philosophy cartridge along with the wonderful Dotty side of the paper pack!  I used the the heart on the bottom right (involves a shift key).  I just cut out two of each color and then arranged them into a flower - you don't even have to line up the tips because the black button covers the middle.  The inside sports a Happy Birthday which was colored with markers to give the rainbow effect on a label also cut using Art Philosophy cartridge.  A very easy card to mass produce and soooooo cheery!

Contact your consultant to learn more about getting your Dotty for You paper pack for $ 5 this month!

February Stamp of the Month

Welcome to the February Stamp of the Month (SOTM) Blog Hop! This month's stamp set Thoughtful Tidings is a Limited Edition and contains 11 great stamp sayings!
If you came here from LeAnne Dudley's Blog you are on the right track. If you would like to see a complete list of SOTM bloggers click here.  We have over Fifty consultants who have projects to share with you for February.

Here is my project:

I cut out a variety of flower sizes using Art Philosophy flowers.  There are about 50 flowers on the heart shaped pocket.  I know, it sounds like a lot of work but I use a bamboo skewer to wind the flowers up and do this while I watch TV.  After I have about 10 wound, I go back and use liquid glass to glue them together.  Since I am watching TV, I don't even pay attention any more and can get 50 done while watching one movie.

Here is a detail shot:

This is a shot from the top left corner looking down to the top right side of the heart.  The flowers make the heart box very poofy!


I decided to put sparkles in the middle of each flower to add that extra bling, pearls would look great also.
