I am not normally a rush to the mailbox kind of girl, but today was different! Daisy and Joy over at Eclectic Paperie shipped a big box o’ stuff out, and I figured it would be waiting for me either today or tomorrow. When I spied the key in our mailbox, I knew I had a box of lovelies just wanting to be played with!
There were a couple of other little items in there that I put away before I thought to take a picture of the stuff and go play! Wanna see what I made?
When I first saw the Stampendous flowers on Julie’s blog, I thought immediately of this Anthropologie catalog page I’d ripped out sometime last fall.
Here’s the card itself:
The Open Bloom set is perfect! Just the right sized flower with two different centers as well as the thank you sentiment. Super easy – just black ink on vanilla cardstock and a bit of ribbon.
Also created this card for my inlaws. They wanted something big enough for about 25-30 people to sign, something girly for a special lady. This is my favorite layout, the one that I always go to when I need a card, and Valerie Stangle always makes it sing with paper pierced accents and patterned paper. I took the layout and blew it up to 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ for this card.
I think this was the first time I used the Wild Rose stamp set, and know it was the first time to use the Leaves a la Carte jumbo wheel! I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out. What do you think?

I love both of them. Your ribbon treatment with the poppy card is perfect. Those roses on your wild rose card are so nicely arranged…love the colors and piercing!!
Both of them are just scrumptious! Love the mix of polka dots on the wild rose one! Fabulous!
*thud*
That was my jaw hitting the floor! Awesome cards!!
WOW! Lovely on both counts, Jenn! I am loving black and white lately. Ü
Wow – what amazing cards! I also love the impact of a black and white card. I love visiting your blog. I literally just ordered the Open Bloom Wood set from Joy just a little while ago. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration. Now I really can’t wait for my new stuff! 🙂
Awesome…love the black and white one!
Wow you got cool stuff!!!! And your cards are beautiful! I’m not usually too into the black and white thing, but I really love what you did!
Wow beautiful cards! I love the black and white one. That flower didn’t look near as cute just as the stamp!
Both cards are beautiful. I got my order from Joy and Daisy yesterday, too. Can hardly wait to play. I love what you did with the Wild Roses – one of my fav sets.

Your work is gorgeous! and I need to place an order with eP!

Hi! I saw the stamps on Julie’s website a few weeks back and resisted the challenge of purchasing. Your card just put me over the edge! thanks for the inspiration, both are LOVELY!
Your cards are amazingly beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous cards Jenn! I found a couple of the Stampendous stamps at my local Archiver’s and picked them up. Sadly, they haven’t seen ink (yet)! I’m looking forward to seeing what you wind up creating with them (your flower cards are always the best). My Archiver’s doesn’t have a few of the stamps that I want, so I have a feeling that I’ll be ordering them through Joy pretty soon (that would be as soon as you start uploading gorgeous creations that will make it futile to resist)!
TFS!

Beautiful cards! I just bought the flower with the ruffly edge at Archiver’s this weekend, I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it! Love your take on the dress, the card is simply stunning! Can’t wait to see what you make with the rest of your goodies!
OMG!!!!! Jenn, you absolutely ROCK MY WORLD!!!! I love what you’ve done with the flower stamp! What a great inspiration. I want to stamp so badly!!!!! Thank you!!!!
I was gonna say “No, I don’t want to see what you made!” cause I was afraid I’d have a terrible attack of lemmingness, but when I clicked to make a comment there they were anyway. Now, as long as I don’t go to their website, I should be okay… gotta get off the computer now… no! don’t click that link!… Someone save me!
wow – great cards!!! can’t wait to see what you make with your new primas!
You da bomb Jenn…. I wish I hadn’t seen those flowers though! ENABLER!!! 🙂
What beautiful stamps! I’m in envy…I love the cards you created.
HMMMMMMM, you know I love them! Love your happy mail from Joy and Daisy. Mine came today, and I can’t wait to play…made a quick card in the a.m. Your cards are gorgeous! I especially love the black and white!
……………….THUD!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!! I do believe I just wet myself and been knocked out stone cold all at the same time! Criminy, Jenn! Wicked beautiful!!!
Gorgeous!!!! Man….Now I need those flowers!!!!
