Soft Gray Pedastol

As I got started on this card, I wasn't quite sure how this card was going to turn out. But I have to say that I am very happy with the way all the colors worked together to make this card so cute! And if you're wondering, yes, that is gray! I like how the gray worked so well with the light color palette from the SU!Designer Series Paper.

Table Top Pizazz

I have absolutely loved my Petal Pizazz stamp set since I got it. When I want to make something floral it is always the very first set I think of!!! I just love the cute, huge flowers! I only wish that more of the flowers have coordinating punches! So it was no surprise that when I decided I wanted to make something decorative, this was my go-to set!

All I did was stamp multiples of each o my flowers, and then cut them out. Once I had a number of flowers cut out I cut my dowels to varying lengths. I used a number of lengths from 9 to 13 inches. I used hot glue to stick my flowers to the stick, but I think Tacky Tape would work better and reduce the risks of burns. Ouch. Finally I ran some scrap pieces of paper through the paper shredder, and then crimped them for some added pizazz.

And of course you can't have a bouquet of flowers without a visit from the bird in Good Friend. I hope this project inspires you to make something decorative using one of your stamp sets. I know, I am already looking forward to making another version of this bouquet using some of the new colors!
