FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP is the stamp set and punch that we used at the March Card Club
We also used the Country Gingham 6x6 Designer Paper in Mint Macaron.
At the time that I created these projects, I had no clue that the color Mint Macaron would be retiring. I will truly miss this soft, beautiful color.
Also the FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP stamp set and coordinating punch are on the LAST CHANCE LIST.
If you would like to receive the full PDF of instructions to make all three projects, just place a minimum $50 order on my online store HERE

Did you notice how many repeats of products that I used on each of these cards, and yet all of them look differently? This is a great example of how to use your products well.
Lynn does a paper share just like me and when you cut this 12 x 12 designer paper into 6x6 pieces you get 1/2 of these floral ovals. This card is genius for how to incorporate that piece into a pretty card front. It measures 2-1/4" x 5". Some Metallic dots and the circle dies set it off perfectly.
This card designer paper is 3" x 5-1/2" and then the 1/2" that is cut off the top is flipped to show the opposite side, and that is what you see behind my sentiment. I used the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for the 3/4" label. Lynn used some white Bakers Twine on her card and the metallic dots, but since I have cut several kits for my Tuesday classes I am running out of white twine so I substituted some silver twine and some Festive Pearls
At our retreat, Sue did a live demonstration of a self-closing box and she used the Dainty Flowers DSP - so cute!! She did a great job!
Inez also did a live demonstration showing how to make a small tote. I call it a "bag in a box" because the bottom is a box that holds it all together. I just love these! they are the perfect size for gifting some cards or a small gift or treat!
I also used this beautiful paper to decorate some yummy chocolates as a gifts for our small group at church as well as for the ladies that attend my monthly card club.
Other product used: Fabulous Frames Dies, Dainty Delight Dies, Flowers of Friendship stamp set.
This last card will be used for my Faith Based Card Class

The card I am sharing today is another one using the BIGGEST WISH stamp set. Sometimes I just get on a kick and make a variety of cards using the same stamp set.
You are also going to think that my favorite new in color is Pale Papaya, but I love them all!
The stamp set I am using is FLOWERS OF FRIENDSHIP and was inspired by Bonnie O'Neill
