Flower patch thank you...

Hello All and Happy Sunday and whatever you are planning to get up to, sending good wishes your way.

I needed a thank you card for a lovely lady and I know there's been all the excitement of the new Occasionals Catalogue not to mention Sale-A-Bration of course ...! but this time found me returning to a stamp set from the Annual catalogue that I haven't used in ages.

Its the Flower Patch stamp set - a great value set with no less than 19 stamps including 3 associated sentiments, which you can mix and match to make up all kinds of floral designs.. 

.

and to make your designing easier, no need for fussy cutting either as there is a matching Framelits Dies set - Flower Fair - to go with.. !

 

Now that is a definite plus in my book

If ever you need inspiration on how to use this stamp set - as with so much these days, Google Images is your go to friend! So many lovely examples to choose from and I based my card on this one by the lovely Kriss Huels and here is my version.

It's a 5 and a 1/2" square format card for a change, using Flirty Flamingo from the 2016 -2018 In-Colours range as my card base. Have indulged in a bit more filling in, but only one propped up flower - as I wanted the banner to take centre stage

My banner is courtesy of a brilliant stamp set so useful for all of sorts of greetings and with a total of 32 stamps to choose from I think you have most things covered.! and with its matching Bunch of Banners Framelit dies - they come bundled as a pack - saving you 10% if the 2 are bought together as a co-ordinating set.

and I just love that I can easily make a matching envelope as Stampin' Up! have obliged with a pack of toning envelope-weight paper available in the same colour ways.. How cool is that

What do you think? I was really pleased how it turned out and am hoping the recipient will like it.

Well this afternoon sees me and a couple of my Stampin' Up! colleagues whiling away the afternoon,  just indulging in some rare free time, stampin', card-making, possibly sorting out potential swaps for their forthcoming trip to Amsterdam for the next Stampin' Up  On Stage meeting.. and me? I shall be working on a certain challenge all about a tin..   but you will have to wait to find out how that goes..

til next time - happy crafting
 
and a closing thought!..
