BUILD A BLOSSOM X3

As we come to the end of the Stampin' Up! catalog year, we face saying good-bye to many products we have come to love.  For the next month, quite a few of them will be featured in the cards that I make. Look for the * next to those products that will soon no longer be available.

Each of today's card make use of both the Blossom Builder punch and the Build a Blossom stamp set.   Don't you love it when you can use your supplies and tools in more than one way!

Of course, you can make flowers:

 To make this card, you will also need:  *Made for You (sentiment);  *Baja Breeze, *More Mustard (I know, I know in my picture it looks like Pumpkin Pie but it's not), Chocolate Chip and Whisper White card stock, along with *Baja Breeze, *More Mustard,and Wild Wasabi classic stampin' pads; *Fan Fair designer series paper; 2-3/8" Scallop, 1-3/8 " and 3/4" Circle punches,  and Large Oval punch; *Baja Breeze seam binding; Rhinestone jewels; Snail adhesive and Stampin' dimensionals.

Or you could make, fish:

The green here is *Lucky Limeade, used for a mat as well as the plants (*Just Believe stamp set); Baja Breeze was sponged on to create the water.  The sentiment is from *Curly Cute set and is heat embossed.

Gills are hand drawn using a Pumpkin Pie stampin' write marker.

Or how about birthday candles:

Again I used *Curly Cute for the sentiment, this time on a Real Red card stock base.  All the designer series paper came from the *Summer Smooches pack.  A little bling was added:  *Metallics 3/16" brads and  Dazzling Details on the flames.

You can get these and other great products at my website.  But don't wait too long; while retired stamp sets are expected to be available through May 31, retired inks and papers are available only while supplies last.
