Memorable Blooms

My very late post today uses the stamp set Memorable Blooms and die set from the January-April 2005 Mini Catalog.  It also uses the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder.  It is one I found on Pinterest and is one of the cards everyone stamping with me this week gets to make.


Luetta and I were talking when we got together to stamp before Christmas about this unusual 3D embossing folder and how or when you would use it.  I think it is the perfect folder for this card. . . it gives it some texture without totally overwhelming the card.  I started by die cutting the center of the smallest piece of white cardstock and then embossing it with the 3D embossing folder.  I placed it on another piece of white cardstock and gently drew where the opening would be.  This was so I could get the placement of my flowers exactly where I wanted them.  I stamped and colored the flowers and then built the rest of my card.  I love how it turned out.



Today started with a sorely needed nail appointment.  I rarely go more than 3 weeks without having them redone and this time it had been over 6 weeks since I had to cancel last time since John and I were both sick.  At least now I can button my pants with less difficulty!  LOL.   The time since I got home has been spent in my recliner with my heating pad once again.  I think I overdid it yesterday.  I need to learn the fine art of pacing myself.

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!
