Today’s card is another project from my May Stamp Club. I used the Under My Umbrella stamp set, but didn’t use an umbrella. Instead I used the flower stamps from the set, along with a heat embossing technique using Tear & Tape. x

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today’s card is not a Cinco de Mayo card, but it was inspired by the colors in the graphic below: Poppy Parade, Call Me Clover, and Crushed Curry. I used the Bloom & Grow stamp set for the floral image and the sentiment, then watercolored using Stampin’ Ink Refills and an Aqua Painter. I also used a couple of Circle Punches and the Layering Circles Dies. If you prefer, you can use the dies for the three cut circles.

Today I’m sharing another card I made for my May Stamp Club. I used the Under My Umbrella bundle (Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch) with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. I don’t have any Old Olive ribbon, so I used a Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Marker to color some Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Today’s card was not one of our Candy Heart team meeting Make & Take projects, but I thought I’d go ahead and finish out the week with the Ornate Garden Suite Bundle. I used Ornate Thanks and Ornate Style stamp sets and the Ornate Layers Dies along with the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper to create this So Grateful thank you card.
