Season of Friendship

Oh no!!!! This is one of my favorite sets and it is on the retiring list.  I adore this little tree. You have until the end of May to get it. This card is really easy. I only had to cut our three of the leaf sets by hand. A flower is covering were they are attached to the card to make the leaves look like they are hanging out over the background.

Season of Friendship

I think I am going daffodil crazy. All of a sudden it is my favorite color. The base of this card is a fun fold. You start with a regular card size. Score it at 1 and 61/2 from the bottom edge. Then cut  between these two score lines at 1 from each side edge. Just above the bottom score line score again at 2 but only on the two outside pieces. Then score the inside piece at 51/2 from the bottom. When you fold it up it fits into a regular envelope. I cut some strips out of daffodil DSP for the outside edges. For the inside I cut certainly celery to fit (4x21/4), then I cut white at 33/4x2. I stamped the tree off to the side in chocolate chip. Then I stamped the celery leaves. I made the flowers using the boho punch. I placed them in the palm of my hand and pushed down the center using the eraser end of a pencil to get them to pop up. I added small pearl to the center of each flower. The ribbon is the wide daffodil stripe. The frame is from a new set available only this month then not again until July called Four Frames. I stamped it in chocolate chip, added thinking of you from sincere salutations (use s stampin' jig to get it straight).Then I colored the bird with sahara sand regal rose markers.

Winter Scrapbooking Layout

I did not quite use all Stamping Up products for this layout. My scrapbookers don't care. They just want to make pages! I have an old snowflake punch the makes small flakes. I used a snowman stamp that I had- you could use Frosty but we used him last year in a class. The tree is from Season of Friendship stamped in early espresso. The wind is the swirly Big Shot die. The snow is torn paper that I sponged with bashful blue. I love the snowman's hat, scarf,  and gloves. They are colored with real red and daffodil delight and popped up with dimensionals. The flakes and the wind are bashful blue. This is another January 7th class layout.
