Welcome, and for those who are here for the first time,
my name is Annette Ball I am an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Canada. Today I am hopping with my friends on the Stampers Showcase Group.
The Theme this month is Thanks and Gratitude
I decided to focus on the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper. Truth be told...I do not love this paper. I got it because pictures do not always do the dsp justice. Well..I still didn't really Love it. But my customers did...so I thought I would play with it and decided to make a bunch of thank you cards playing with the different colours that co-ordinate with the dsp. Guess who?? I like some of it now LOL!!
I will list the colours and embellishments below each individual card. I made some portrait cards and some landscape cards. Hope you like them!
Bumblebee card base & Gingham ribbon, die cut flowers are from Stitched Blooms dies and the leaves are from Forever Flourishing dies and I put Basic Rhinestones in the Real Red flowers.
Granny Apple Green Cardbase, Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon. I used the Everyday Label Punch for all my cards, I just trimmed it down for a couple. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.
Flirty Flamingo Cardbase, Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon.
The flowers are from the Dressed to Impressed stamp set
and co-ordinating All Dressed Up dies.
It's hard to tell in the photo, but the flowers have Wink of Stella for sparkle!
Just Jade Cardbase, the dsp is 3 x 4.25" on ALL the cards.
Some cards have 2 layers and other have 3 like this one.
Each layer is 1/8" bigger for each layer. The ribbon it the Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon.
I Used the Medium Daisy Punch and layered 2 together, then daubed a wee bit of Coastal Cabana to add some colour to the daisy.
The flower center is So Saffron and I used a die from the Stitched Blooms dies.
Just Jade Cardbase, the dsp is 3 x 4.25" on ALL the cards.
Some cards have 2 layers and other have 3 like this one.

I Used the Medium Daisy Punch and layered 2 together, then daubed a wee bit of Coastal Cabana to add some colour to the daisy.

Finally I scattered on some Basic Rhinestones for sparkle.
Cardbase is Very Vanilla as is the sentiment punch out.
I used the Stitched Blooms dies to make the Real Red and Petal Pink Flowers to mimic the dsp.
The layer peeking out from under the dsp is Flirty Flamingo.
I used the Petal Pink Organdy striped Ribbon.
And I finished the card off with a few Basic Rhinestones.
Granny Apple Green Cardbase, Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.
I also coloured 2 - 4" pieces of Crinkle with my
Stampin Blends with Granny Apple Green and Pool Party.
Cardbase is Petal Pink as is the Striped Organdy ribbon.
I used the flower from the Strawberry Builder punch for the Petal Pink flowers
and the Small Bloom punch for the Real Red flower.
Finished the card with some Basic Rhinestones.
Cardbase is Misty Moonlight, ribbon is Just Jade Gingham ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season combo pack. And I added a 4" piece of Polka Dot Tulle ribbon to mimic the polka dots in the dsp. The flowers are from the Dressed to Impressed stamp set
