Build a Bouquet...or a Snowman???

Both of the cards that I'm showing you today were made from the upcoming new stamp set from My Favorite Things, Build a Bouquet. This first one is more traditional, and the second is a little more out-of-the-box! I hope that you like both! They also feature the third new release that is a DEFINITE MUST-HAVE, Essential Sentiments. All three sets will be released on Nov. 1st!!!

My Best Friends card was made with 7 stamps from the Build a Bouquet set. If you notice the pot - there are two stamps layered together to create the pattern on it. I used SU!'s Perfect and Pale Plum, Celery POP paper, and PTI's SS. I Cuttlebugged the Swirls and the ribbon is from May Arts.For the second card, I went with a winter theme, and created a snowman! This was one of the first ideas that I had when I first saw this set, and it's solid circles. This card uses 6 stamps from the set, and the "carrot" and "arm" stamps are two of the stamps also used in the above card for the leaf vein and stem. (The carrot was made with the same stamp that also made the twigs on the arm branches.)

I used my black Sharpie to make the little dots for eyes, and cut the hat out of a small Bayou scrap - but the rest are stamps. I just love the tiny flower stamp for snow! And isn't that sentiment perfect for this card?!?

The ribbon is from Basic Gray, the tag and embossing from the Cuttlebug, and scallop rectangle from a Spellbinders die. Paper used is Bayou, Sky, PTI SS, and Kraft.

So, now I'm off to run and get ready for our MOMS Club Halloween Party! Should be completely adorable - I just hope that the weather holds out! See you soon with another Sneak Peek!
