Happy Easter/Metal Flower

Hello and Good Afternoon,

I know that I am a little late getting a card posted today, but I have been busy getting my laundry done.  I have my daughters home from college while they are on spring break and it really does throw the normal laundry day off a little and makes a whole day miserable with work. But I guess it is only a week.  :)

I have been having fun with the pop cans.  I find you can cut them with the spellbinders/nestibilites.  I do have an idea brewing that uses the nestibilites from the pop cans. I have a few cut now and should be able to make a few things.
I stamped the sentiment in Green, then pink and then settled for the brown.  I still think I like the green better, but I like the brown too.
These metal flowers are so much fun to make, and they can be messy when you are putting on the ink....but nothing is fun unless you are a little messy.

Hope you enjoy today's card.  I will probably be a little late tomorrow too so just be patient.
I also want to "Thank You" all for the great comments, I do appreciate them and love hearing from you, thanks so much.  Makes me happy to know that I am inspiring others as most of you do for me.
I also want you to know that I visit all my blog friends every night while the family is watching tv, I enjoy seeing what you are doing as well.

Spring Card

Today my cousin "Pam" and I made some cards in the craftroom today.  We are having a card party in February and we thought we had better come up with some cards to make at the party.  We made 3 cards today for our guests to make.  They will make two cards then they can purchase a card already to be assembled before they leave.  We had a good time today, and was very productive at the same time.

The first card here is the one they can buy at that party to take home and assemble. This is the front of the card.  I used the new stamp set from Stampin Up for the flower and cut the pieces out with the punch that goes along with the set.  The stamp set is called "Build a Blossom" and the punch is "Blossom Petals Punch" all in the new Occasions Mini.  I used the sentiment from the "Easter Blossoms" Stamp Set also in the same catalog.  I used the scalloped oval and the oval punch for the sentiment. The back of the card is embossed with the embossing folder "Framed Tulips" also in the new mini catalog.  The white piece was embossed with the dots embossing folder from  Cuttlebug.  The color ink and paper is Rich Razzleberry also from Stampin UP.  We touched it up with some Stampin Up pearls.

This is the inside of the card.  I used the topnote from Stampin Up along with pearls.   I didn't add a sentiment for this card, I thought it would be nice to add a personel greeting when this is sent.
