Simply Zinnia Slimline Card

I'm really loving this Zinnia set. There's no limit to the colors you can use.
This is an Online Exclusive, and you won't find it in the catalog. (Item number 163480)

For this slimline card, I used:

Simply Zinnia Bundle
Distressed Tile Embossing Folder
Bough Punch
Berry Burst ink
Tinsel Gems
Cardstock: Garden Green, Berry Burst, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White

For the card base, I cut a piece of Basic White to 8 3/4" x 7 1/2" and scored on the 7 1/2 side at 3 3/4"
The bottom mat is cut to 8" x 3"
The top mat is cut to 7 7/8 x 2 7/8, then it is run through the Big Shot using your favorite embossing folder.
Cut your favorite flowers and arrange to your liking.
Enjoy!

Window card using the "To Market" suite

       I was playing with the vegetables and wanted to try something a little different.  At first I wanted to make a shaker card, but the vegetables (being paper) don't want to move around like confetti pieces would.
So I stamped some background images, then cut some and propped them up with dimensionals to give them a layered look in the market bag.  It's hard to see the window on the cards, but it's there.

           

Card Box using Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection

Every year we grow as many zinnias as we have space for.
When I saw this Suite Collection, I had to have it!

Products used:
Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection (dies and DSP)
Cardstock:  Berry Burst, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly and Basic White
Stamp Set: Seaside Wishes
Dies: Autumn Leaves and Unbounded Love
Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins

Pictured in the box below are 8 cards and 8 envelopes. Two of the cards are fun-folds, and I think this box would easily hold 10 regular cards that aren't thick with too many layers.

This box uses two pieces of cardstock.

The front piece is cut at 8.5" x 7"
Along the 8.5" side, score at 1/2", 2", 6.5" and 8"
Turn clockwise and score along the 7" side at 1/2" and 2"
Cut away the bottom flaps (as shown)

The back piece is 9.5" x 4.5"
Along the 9.5" side, score at 2.25" and 3.75"

DSP:   
Cut 1 - 4.25 x 4.75" for front of box
Cut 1 - 4.25 x 5.25" for back (optional)
Cut 2 - 1.25 x 4.75" for sides
Cut 1 - 4.25 x 2" lid front
Cut 1 - 4.25 x 1.25" lid top

Playing with the New In Colors

I finally got to play with the new In Color products and the Online Exclusive Kit called "By Your Side."

                 
For this colorful card, I used the 6x6 In Color Designer Series Paper and die cut 8 of the smallest squares in the Stylish Shapes die set.

I also cut one heart from the Radiating Stitches Die set.

Bottom mat - Summer Splash cardstock - cut to 5 1/4 x 4

Top mat (Basic White) - cut to 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

In Color Resin Dots

Heat-embossed the cat paws and the fish at the top with white embossing powder

The sentiment is stamped in Summer Splash ink.

After I adhered the squares to the Basic White mat and stamped and embossed it, I used the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder on just the top mat, then adhered it to the Summer Splash bottom mat.

The sentiment is from the Online Exclusive kit called By Your Side.

The inspiration for this layout came from Jacque Williams.
