Fifth Avenue Floral Card Ideas

I made a couple more cards using the Fifth Avenue Floral Stamp set and thought I'd share them with you.

This first card has an embossed square (using a cereal box method -- I'll have to demo this sometime). I used craft paper and vanilla paper to create this monochromatic look.





















For the second card I colored the flowers using Stampin' Pastels. And boy do I love the Eyelet Border Punch!
Colors: Taken with Teal and Rose Red

Crystal's May Workshop

Crystal mentioned that she liked the card on page 114 of the Idea Book and Catalog. I didn't have the exact same set, so I improvised. I used the Fifth Avenue Flowers set and turned the card upright, but achieved a similar and successful look.

Paper:

• Chocolate Chip
• Taken with Teal
• Glorious Green
• Whisper White

Other Supplies:

• Stampin' Pastels

I also wanted to show a gift bag and thought the Big Shot was the way to do it. This little bag was made with the Bag w/ Scallops and the Oval All stamp set from the Occasions Mini catalog.

Paper:

• Designer Series Bashful Blue
• Whisper White
• Chocolate Chip

Other Supplies:

• Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
• Scallop Oval Punch
• Large Oval Punch
• Horizontal Slot Punch

The third project from Crystal's workshop was a scrapbook page for her Guatemala scrapbook. I'll post a picture of the finished page in the next few days.
