Flower Power

Had a dusting of snow last night and winter is not going anywhere soon but was still fun to make these happy little cards. Found the inspiration on Jackie’s blog, http://www.jackiescreativepapercrafts.blogspot.com/. These little beauties will make cute birthday cards though I haven’t yet stamped the inside panel.

Used Stampin Up cardstock Chocolate Chip and Really Rust for the pots, scraps of cardstock and DP for the flowers. Also used the Stampin’ Up punches on this one. The scallop border was perfect for the edging on the pot, the one-inch circle and scallop circle perfect for the flowers. Used the small oval to shape out the leaves. Aren’t these darling!

That’s if for this morning. Have to pack up the car with treats for Max and face a two hour drive now to visit with my grandchildren. It seems such a distance yet I know there are so many grandparents whose families live half way across the country. We are blessed.

You can never have too many punches.
