Daisy Delight Mini-Bouquet and Cards

I just love Stampin'Up! Daisy Delight bundle.  I always loved seeing those flower pens and thought it would be fun to make them with this bundle.



I made these for my sons Kindergarten teacher. I am so excited for my youngest, Matthew, to attend all day Kindergarten! It was so cute seeing him give his teacher Ms. Costa the bouquet and cards!

The trick with these pens was to figure out how to attach the flower punch to the pen.  Here's how I did it!

First I cut a 1.25"x1.25"square and then wrapped it around the pen top.

Next I used the tombow glue and glued the wrapped shaped square to the back of the punched flower. Then I let dry for awhile.  Then I added a couple of glue dots to the pen top and pushed it in the dry wrapped square.

Then I added some tear n tape around the wrapped square.
Next I added the green floral tape and wrapped from top to bottom.
Then I used tear n tape on some leaves and placed on pen. The leaves are from the May Flower frame-lits set.  Then I wrapped more floral tape on.

You Move Me Thanks

I have a fabulous Aunt who sends my kids and I fun birthday cards, Halloween cards and Valentine's Day cards. I decided that the new You Move Me bundle would make the perfect card to Thank her for her kindness.




I used the colors Night of Navy and Dapper Denim. The hummingbird wings look so cute as they flutter when you slowly pull out the card. The Island Indigo ombre ribbon coordinates well too! I love all of Stamp in' Up's new ombre ribbons!

Floral Thanks

I absolutely love Stampin' Up's new Floral Statements stamp set! It is so fun to color with watercolor pencils and makes a beautiful card!





Aren't these just gorgeous! I used the new Sheet Music background stamp too. I used sponge daubers with versamark ink and dabbed  the ink on around the leaf edges and embossed with gold embossing powder.
