Holly Brown: Textured Blossom Hello

Happy Friday! It's Holly posting today. Spring is officially here, and I'm sending you a little Textured Blossom hello. :-) This Textured Blossom technique is one of many great new techniques you'll find on the Stampin' Companion CD from Technique Junkies.

You can order the cd by clicking on this link or going to the Technique Junkies website. This cd is packed with 70 wonderful techniques and beautiful artwork for each technique. You can see a full listing of all the techniques on the cd by clicking here. All these techniques use products from Stampin Up, but these can easily be adapted to use non-Stampin Up items as well.

That's what I've done with this card here. The patterned paper, the stamp, the flower die cuts, the button, and the texture on the flower petals are all non-Stampin Up products. You don't have SU tools or products? No problem! Pull out what you do have and try them with some of these techniques. It is fun to see what you can do when you bend the rules a little bit! :-)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Textured Blossoms by Judy Jackson

Good day -- from Judy Jackson. Our snow is melting and perhaps it is foolish of me -- but i am dreaming of spring flowers! My "winter over" pansies are still blooming and i love that.

I have a lovely flower to share with you today -- and the technique is from the SU Stampin' Companion CD. I have used all Stampin' Up supplies -- except for the embroidery floss in the center of the button.

I always seem to need thank you note cards and this will fit the bill for some needed thank you card.

Emboss and sponge, stamp and sponge, use a punch, use a rubber stamp, and tie a ribbon! And then I have a lovely card! I hope you are able to carve out some stamping time for yourself! And i wonder -- have you ordered this newest CD - SU Stampin' Companion? If not why not? There are 70 techniques on this CD. Each technique will have step by step instructions with pictures! That makes it easy to follow along!

Have a good day!

Judy Jackson
