Sweet Sunflowers Alternative - Hello Poppin Dots!

Hi Friends!

I'm back with another(!) project featuring elements from the August 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit, Sweet Sunflowers. This one goes way "off road"! I saw the sunflower center stamp image as a dot and I got creative. I hope this alternative sparks your creativity, too!

Once I couldn't unsee the sunflower center image as a dot, I added some bright colors from the new Stampin' Up 2022-2023 In Color collection to create my Poppin' Dot card. I paired Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide cardstock and inks, then stamped a few Sweet Sorbet ink dots and topped it off with a Hello dot. Isn't it fun!

I fussy cut out the dot after tracing the sunflower center stamp on Parakeet Party cardstock then stamped on it with the Hello stamp. To add a bit of interest, I tied Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding ribbon around the stamped card front.

Retiring but still Inspiring Day 10 - Beauty Abounds

Hi friends!

Some of my favorite stamps and dies are retiring after May 3, 2021. To wish them a fond farewell I'll be blogging about how awesome they are. I think they are so awesome that you'll be inspired to purchase them before they are gone for good!

The Beauty Abounds stamp set is retiring. It made stamping cards and gift packaging for my friends easy, and I love the easy button!
