My club meets today. I always have a hard time deciding what to make - I just want to do it all! I keep having to remind myself that they are pretty novice stampers so I need to keep it simple but also knock their socks off! Hope this does it!
You can make a dogwood with the Blossom Petals Punch from the Occasions Mini catalog!! I punched the petals out and then using a 3/4" circle punch, I punched the ends and used a brown marker to darken them. The colors used on the card are Cherry Cobbler, Pear Pizazz and white. The sentiment is from Oval All.

This is another card using the Blossoms Punch. I had several people that bought this punch so I wanted to make sure they knew how to use it! I have found the easiest way to use this punch is cut a strip of paper about 1 1/2" and punch from it. That way, you don't waste a lot of cardstock.
This card and the next one are super easy! Everyone will do a different one. I cut my basic card (5 1/2" x 8 1/2"); DSP AND Vellum (5 1/2 x 4 1/4"). Emboss the vellum and adhere it to one side of the DSP that is adhered to the card. The ribbon will cover up the tape. Stamp a sentiment in an area that is not embossed.

This card is probably my favorite but again it is fairly simple. I used the DSP, Springtime Vintage that is just gorgeous!! It is on page 15 in the mini catalog. The rose on the bottom of the flower is cut from the paper and glued down. The stamp set I used is Baby Blossoms - a set I really wasn't going to order but I am loving it! The colors of the card are River Rock and Not Quite Navy. The "thinking of you" part is stamped three times - once in Not Quite Navy on NQN cardstock; once in Rose Red; and once in NQN on white and punched out with the large oval punch. The seam binding ribbon in Baja Blue tops it off.

I have been a Stampin' Up demonstrator since 2005. I enjoy sharing my love of card making with others.
