Embellish This Series - Pretties Kit

 Happy Wednesday to you!  How is your March Break going?  We had a great trip to Port Huron yesterday just for fun (actually for my coffee....) I know!  Adam loves a little Day Trip and coffee was just the perk:)

Today's embellishment is the Pretties Kit.  Now I know the title is Pretty, but sometimes I like Whimsical or Fun.  The pieces in this kit really are beautiful and can help to make a beautiful card, however, I wanted to show the "fun" side of the kit.  This fabric flower is very multipurpose.  You can ink it, sponge it, dye it OR stamp on it!  I literally just stamped on it!  I used the Boho Backgrounds stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink and just stamped on the flower.

Here is the recipe for today's card:

• Apricot Appeal - 3 x 6 scored at 3, 1 inch circle
• Pumpkin Pie - 2 3/4 x 2 3/4, 3/4 inch circle
• Fire Brad
• Pretties Kit
• Boho Backgrounds Stamp Set and Pumpkin Pie Ink

Here is the video for today's card:

 AND, yes, I have a scrapbook page for you as well!!!  I LOVE MDS!  Have I told you that before?  This is my nephew and Nathan outside playing in the snow about a month ago.  I had fun making the DSP in the back for this page.  I stamped the snowflakes in Old Olive, Whisper White and Not Quiet Navy in the background.  To get the perfectly lined up snowflakes, I stamped three, then I selected these (by holding down the shift key) and copied them.  I was then able to get the 6 snowflakes in a row.  I did this trick again with the 6 snowflakes and then I had a full row.  Then I selected and cut the full row and pasted it, shifted it over and repeated this on the page.  It is a bit of a time consuming process but a lot of fun and love the final look.  I'm happy with the circle embellishments and the colour palette.  Hope you like it!

Have a wonderful day!

Take care,

Heather

Stamping on the flower is a great look, and I love the little card that you made out of it.

This is a really cute Page made in MDS. I love the way you did the snowflakes. Thanks for sharing the technique. I also like the added circles with just a phrase. It is really cool to frame a main photo with smaller photo's. Great layout.

I would never have thought to stamp these flowers. It looks great.
Can I ask- what do you use for envelopes for these small cards?
