I mourn the loss of Petal Prints, a wonderfully artistic set, in advance of its retirement in June.
I am hoping that I get a similar one in it’s place and/or a combination of the Petal Prints II set (last year mini catalog) and this set “resurrected”. I can only hope!
The colors are Always Artichoke, Kraft paper, Vintage Violet & Cranberry Crisp–again paper colors that I will miss. I also used the “All About U” set as well.

I first saw these “diorama” cards demo’d at leadership, but always thought that it would be a lot of work (and I am LAZY!!!)
Well, I saw this easy Tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.com and THEN in less that a month, saw some awesome samples by Margie Roderer who showed me how easy it was with three strips of paper and I was hooked… I had to try it.
I am pleased with the results done with Crab & Company from the Spring Mini Catalog in Blush Blossom, Bashful Blue & Almost Amethyst. I used sponge daubers and white crafters ink for the sea foam–the inspiration for the color scheme was from an exceptional swapper named Carol Nordquist in MN who did a flat card in these colors with this set. Thank you Carol!

The inspiration for this project is from the very lovely and talented Amanda Coughlin as usual! I did a “remake” of it from a WOW swap she did a year back. This is another Stamp Festival teaser for those of you attending next Saturday!
The sets used are Bodacious Blossom, the matching brass template and my new favorite Spring Mini Set, Office Accoutrements (I love that set so much I can now actually spell it!!!). The booklet is an entire sheet of 8 1/2 x 11–holding it “landscape” score at 3 1/2 & 3 3/4 & 7 1/4 & 7 1/2 then turn it and score 1 inch along the bottom. I cut off below the bottom score line in the left and center panel and tucked up the right “pocket” (held with just ribbon) to hold in the seeds.
Download the PDF (4 per page) of the saying here. A sample of it’s saying is below:
To Bless Your Garden of Friendships:
Plant 3 rows of Peas
- Peace of mind
- Peace of heart
- Peace of soul
Plant 3 rows of Squash
- Squash indifference
- Squash selfishness
- Squash grumbling… and on from there.
I thought that this was fitting for a spring event!

This “Punch Sample Book” is the gift that each attendee received for RSVP’ing in advance and coming to the Quarterly team meeting last night. I had a great time and hope you did too!
The labels that I used to label the punches can be downloaded here. They get printed on “return address” sized labels (1/2 inch x 1 3/4 inch) and there are two sets of labels per sheet. This is a nice hostess gift I think.
Team members click here to give feedback on the event to better meet your needs. There is a spot for feedback from persons who didn’t attend but wish to in the future.
The make & take was a 5×5 “On Board” album (see previous post) and as you can see (photo on left) Valerie, Jackie, Dana & Cindy are making it look very easy! I am compiling photos and will publish them on the team site soon!
