Botanical Blooms Birthday Card with Fun Front Edge
When I saw the Botanical Builders thinlits, I knew that while the flower dies were cute, the edgelits were awesome! That is the vine looking die that is long and skinny, because what it does is make cool edges for your cards! Just like this card here:
Now, I can’t take credit for this card design. See, I can also admit that while some dies and stamps inspire me with lots of my own ideas (Like the Sunburst die, which is why I put together that Online Class!) but these Botanical Builders dies are harder for me. I love pretty much everything I see with them, but I needed a kick in the pants to get my mojo going. So I turned to a crafter’s best friend – Google Image Search and Pinterest! I looked up cards to CASE to get started and just loved this one.
I had to guess a bit at how it went together, but I think it came out fine. In mine, I used the vine edgelit to cut off the bottom of the card front and then adhered the patterned paper to the inside of the card base (so that when you flip open the card, the paper stays put. It just gives cool shadows and dimension I thought. Or I could just be overthinking and I’ll go with it is just easier to have a big, solid, flat place to glue the paper that I don’t have to worry it can get pulled off.
Of course we had to get the flower in there and so we stamped with the Botanical Blooms stamp set and added the die cut flower. I even added some of the Gold Wink of Stella to the middle of the flower because, well, you know, everything is better with sparkle!
The thing that takes the most amount of time on this card is the flower, but otherwise it all comes together super quick. So, mix and match the edgelit with other designs and punches and you could have a card together in no time flat!

Botanical Blooms Thank You Card
One of the really fun things about going to OnStage (the new name for Stampin’ Up convention and regional demonstrator events) is that we get to try out the newest products that are coming up and make some samples to use when we get home. One of the products we got to try in November was the Botanical Blooms stamp set and matching dies. We learned that the stamp set is designed to perfectly match the patterned paper (see the details on the leaves and flowers in the patterned paper? yep, I STAMPED THEM! How cool is that??!?) And this is what we made at the event:
Now that was a fun and all sample to see how the products all worked, but I just wasn’t inspired to turn it into a card as is. See, it was this odd 4 1/4” height (same as a normal card) but only 5” wide (narrower than a normal card). So I decided I had to cut things up and experiment a bit. And ended up really liking the end result… what do you think?
So, what I ended up doing was cutting down the designer patterned paper and then layering it onto some Mossy Meadow cardstock (I’m sooooo going to miss this color when it retires later this month!!) and then put it all onto a Hello Honey card base.
The design was so busy, I wanted to keep my sentiment simple so I reached for the wooden Expressions Elements for a simple thanks and to make it easier to read, I just adhered a thin strip of Mossy Meadow cardstock behind the letters to make it super clear.
You can see from my imperfect stamping, show the detailing on the leaves is stamped on. And the centers to many of the flowers. It was kind of fun finishing out the paper design! Then I just added a few rhinestones here and there for a little sparkle and we were good to go!
A Quick Note about the Botanical Blooms Bundle – You Get Extra in It!
I’ve had a couple people confused about the Botanical Blooms bundle… because they know that when you get a bundle you get 15% off the dies and stamp set. But what they didn’t notice, is that in THIS SPECIFIC BUNDLE, you ALSO get the pack of designer paper too!
See the bundle details in the online store
Fun bonus, right? If you have questions, don’t hesitate to say hello and drop me a line at jennifer@nwstamper.com!

I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for stopping by my blog and leaving all the great comments for me. I really appreciate hearing from you and am glad you like my projects.
When I moved this blog from my old site to here at www.nwstamper.com I announced blog candy with two drawings (original post here). One drawing for anyone who left me a comment and one for folks who became a fan on facebook. Well, I did the drawing with some help from my son:

This is a family business, right? Got to keep them involved. Well, even at 8 months old, he managed to successfully draw a name for each drawing:
And so the winners are:
Brenda Hugar
and
Yvonne Russell!
Ladies, please send me your contact information and that’s again to everyone for entering! I’m sure there will be more candy opportunities in the future!

Introducing Northwest Stamper and some Blog Candy!

I’ve been working for a while on setting up my own website and all the related things like email addresses, facebook, etc. Finally last night I got the last few pieces changes and flipped the switch.

So welcome to my new home – Northwest Stamper at www.nwstamper.com

THANK YOU for stopping by today. Here is a card I made using some scraps and a some images I stamped before having a card layout in mind. This is a great stamp set and I know it will be missed when it retires in 3 days.

And as another thank you, I am offering some BLOG CANDY! Woo hoo!
This card reminded me of the stamp set Botanical Blooms, which I had an extra set and thought it would be a fun way to say thanks. Then in looking in my stash, I found the Sweet Pea Felt that I sadly never used but thought would be great to share. So, here are the details:

There are two drawings, so you have two chances to win –

1. Leave me a comment telling me what types of posts or topics you would be interested in seeing on this blog; or what you like seeing on other blogs.
2. Become a fan of NW Stamper on Facebook then leave me a comment here to let me know. If you suggest my page to a friend and they become a fan, you’ll get an extra entry for each friend – just let me know who you invited so I can give you credit.
