Hey Guys!!  I thought I would try something different for today's card.  My friend and downline Nicki came over yesterday for a "play" date and she brought with her the Detailed Floral Thinlits dies.  I have not purchased it YET, because it honestly is not my style.  Although I've seen some BEAUTIFUL projects created with the set, it just wasn't on my radar to purchase.  BUT I went ahead and played with it yesterday and came up with today's card.

I used the die cut as a stencil and used my Watercolor Pencils to color in the flowers on some Watercolor Paper.  After I made it, I had ABSOLUTELY no idea what I was going to do with it.  SO I put it up for the night and came back to it this morning.  I ended up running it through the Hexagons Embossing Folder and decided that this sweet little kitty from the Pretty Kitty stamp set NEEDED to go with it!!  I added a doily from the Delicate White Doilies pack along with a couple of circles from the Layering Circles Dies and the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Of course I had to finish off the flowers with a touch of shimmer using the Clear Wink of Stella.

I just LOVE the way it turned out!!  The watercolors blended so beautifully with each other and really softened up to create the background.  This is probably one of my fav cards so far!

If you were unable to make it to my Facebook Live last night, that's OK!!  I have the video up and ready to go!  It LOOKS like it is a lengthy video, but the actual project didn't take too long.  Towards the end of it, it's just chatter!  lol

I have tried to provide the dimensions for each of the cards above.  The first card is the one that we created on FB Live.  I will try to create a video on how to create the star quilts and post it here when it is finished.  There are LOTS of pieces for those two cards!  LOL  

I used the Sunshine Sayings stamp set and Sunshine Wishes Dies on each of the cards.  To give it a "quilted" look, I used the Hexagons Embossing Folder.  LOVE how it gives a puffy quilted look!!  The paper is from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.  LOVE LOVE LOVE these papers!!  Especially the tiny flowers print!!  Perfect for a "quilted" look.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!!  I'd be happy to help!

Cool Treats Birthday Card 3

Cool Treats Birthday Card 3

Dimensions: 

Whisper White CS - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 (score at 4 1/4 for card base), 2 1/4 x 3 1/2

Peekaboo Peach CS - 3 1/4 x 4 1/4

Watermelon Wonder CS - 2 1/2 x 3 3/4

Doesn't this card make you want to take a bit from one of the popsicles?  YUM!!  I just LOVE the Peekaboo Peach and Watermelon Wonder colors together.  The Peekaboo Peach reminds me of Orange Sherbet.  The Hexagons Embossing folder adds just the right touch to the background of the images.  Enough to pull the eye to it, but not distract from the images and sentiment.

This card was SUPER quick to throw together using the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits dies.  Such a fun set and SO versatile!  The Frozen Treats Framelits Dies are made a bit different from the other dies in that they cut on the inside of the image, not on the outside.  I really like this as you can add more dimension to the image by popping it up on the inside, without the white lines that go around it.
