One of the advantages of crafting with friends on an evening - apart from getting together with a group of very lovely crafty ladies - is that I tend to take a stamp set or two that I haven't used before and actually get to do something with them!
Last night, I took two sets and I ended stamping three panels which means I have been able to make three cards with them! This is the first panel I stamped with a Stampin' Up set called, 'Avant Garden'. This is that card.
The second card, stamped with Stampin' Up, 'Blooms & Wishes', the other set I took, is this one.
Thank you so much for your visit today and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know! If you have a question, please be sure I have a way to contact you so I can answer, as a lot of you are 'no-reply' bloggers, so I am unable to reply via e-mail.
Hazel, these are so beautiful! I love the floral arrangements so much. What a fun rainbow sentiment, too! Your pictures are fabulous and bright. I am wanting to work on my pictures, but I kindof wish they would take themselves, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou are very productive with your group of friends! Good for you! :)
ReplyDeleteHurrah for using NBUS AND having a lovely crafty time with other people - so nice to get together with other crafty people, although invariably after about 4 hours I come away with something half stamped and coloured because I've been talking so much! Love the layering you've done with these - just stamping colour on colour. Really adds depth. xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you are managing to find more time for crafting Hazel, and also to join in with your craft group again. These two cards are delightful and you always come up with wonderful design and presentation ideas. I love the vellum you have used on the first and the cut out frame with the diagonal line design round it on the second. The flowers are both stamped in pretty colours and the tri-coloured sentiment on the first works beautifully. x
ReplyDeleteboth cards are so pretty Hazel, but the second one is my absolute favorite - what stamp set is that?
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty. The stamp set is Stampin' Up, 'Blooms & Wishes' and it's so versatile! Have a lovely day my friend! xx
DeleteVery beautiful cards Hazel. Hugs Veerle x
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they are both so stunning!! I love the colors of both cards!! The multi-colored sentiment is fabulous on the first one!! The flowers are so gorgeous on the second!! Love these both, my friend!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

Both your flower cards are so pretty Hazel. How wonderful that you got to do so much creative stamping with friends. That is the perfect date night :-) TFS my friend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards ! First one is pretty with multicolored sentiment and second one is beautifully bright !
ReplyDeleteBoth your pretty cards are a reminder that spring is not far off! Love the soft pink flower with the rainbow stamped sentiment. The vellum layer adds a softness to your pink frame.
ReplyDeleteAnd your second card is so bright and cheerful with the bright yellow. Love the design with your embossed framing.
Always great when we can use some of our NBUS!! xx
They are two beautiful cards you made with the panels Hazel. I particularly like the rainbow sentiment on the first. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteOOOOoooo, Hazel, both of these are FABULOUS, my friend!!!!! I can just sit and look at it and enjoy the beauty for a long time!!! I'm trying to decide which is my fave and I think I'm going to choose the 2nd one!!!! I really like how you have stamped the lovely flower on the first card - it looks like you painted it!!!! The pink frame and the multi coloured sentiment compliment your flower beautifully!!!! The flowers on the 2nd card are simply stunning and I love the sentiment stamp you used and the frame!!!!! WOW, two beauties, my friend!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!!

I'm lucky enough to share those evenings with you and thoroughly enjoy seeing your card fronts being stamped. It's great to see how you put them together the next day into a card. So glad you are now part of our small craft group x
ReplyDeleteThese are so beautiful...how fun to have a friend that lives close enough to craft with and it looks like you had a productive evening!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you manage to be so creative and productive when you are getting together with these ladies! On Thursday night, when I met with my stamping friends, I was so exhausted from a day of constantly being on the go that it took me a while to unwind. The first half I just chatted which was nice and then I played around with a NBUS stamp set and Altenew inks that my friend has. When I come home with my various pieces I don't always get around to making them into a card so my compliments on your discipline and the resulting pretty cards! They look like framed pieces of art!
ReplyDeleteI love these bright and cheerful cards. You've brightened my day with your creations.
ReplyDeleteHazel, fabulous cards. I am a sucker for the florals for sure, and I love both those SU sets. I love how you have framed these beauties. Looking forward to seeing the third. Lovely that you have a crafty group...it took me two years to find one after I moved. Its so much fun to craft in a group.
