Market Basket Birthday Card
A warm spring day with nothing pressing, and a delivery of the Greetery's newest.
Just couldn't wait to play with all the new goodies!
Oh, that basket! Fell in love during the release, and couldn't wait to play.
The die set gives you a choice of 3 sizes, this is the largest. I've done this treatment
several times before to simulate copper patina. Simply cut the basket from blue
green, or aqua cardstock (PTI's Hawaiian Shores), and randomly pat the die cut
with an embossing pad. Sprinkle with copper embossing powder (Wow superfine),
and the result is aged copper patina. I gave my basket a paper lining of vellum, sort of
mutes the stamped background.
The Tulips Botanicals allow you to color anyway you like, or simply die cut from
colored cardstock. So many choices! Can't wait to try watercolors. Or maybe
pastels!
Did you get the basket die? It sold out quickly, but the Greetery's great at
restocking. Wishing to spend the weekend with more stamps, but they'll have
to wait. Mother's Day and family and barbecue and swimming... all planned
for this special weekend.
Happy Mother's Day!

Tulip Birthday
Do you have a favorite PTI floral set?
Papertrey's 10th Anniversary Celebration has a daily party
featuring their new releases.
This challenge we are asked to create a new card with our all time
favorite floral set.
Tulip Time is right up there in
my top favorites. Also had to include a background
of Gathered Garden greenery and flowers.
During the release of Garden Greenery, I saw a card made
by Betsy Veldman using the 2 sets together.
You can see her card here: Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2016
Loved the effect of creating a bouquet, with the pop of bright tulips.
Trying to complete my cards by making a custom envelope
to match, while the stamps are handy.
The card tulips are stamped with Hibiscus Burst, Raspberry Fizz,
and Pure Poppy.
The envelope tulips; Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, & Lovely Lady.
The triple stamping intensifies the color and depth.
These tulips are certainly one of my favorites from PTI.
But don't hold me to ruling out any of the other florals!
There are so many to love!

Cuppa Love
It's time for Coffee Lover's Summer Bloghop.
Tons of wonderful prizes and super sponsors.
Also playing along with Betsy at PTI's MIM, where
she demonstrates Reverse Stenciling.
The brayed stencil gives a wonderful effect and depth to the surface.
Pulled out my Cuppa Love set, and tried for warm summer look to my vintage pyrex cup.
Just love that bold shaped coffee mug!
PTI's stencil: Modern Background Set
Vintage Jadeite, Mint Julep inks, then went over it in
selected spots with Bright Buttercup.
Cup cut from designer paper, with tulip design stamped and fussy cut.
Center stamped with Americana ink,
leaves in Vintage Jadeite, and Pinefeather.
Sweet little tag also from Cuppa Love stamps and dies.
