Hey Sugar–Take Two
Sugar sugar, honey honey…I cannot get that song out of my head now. Aaaaaah!
Lindsey, Trudee, Julia and I decided to do a Take Two this time using Cosmo Cricket’s new Hey Sugar line and any flower stamps. I thought I should look in my Stampin’ Up sets since it’s been eons since I’ve used one of them. I first gravitated toward my beloved Petal Prints, but then I thought “No, you WILL use Pick a Petal. You bought it, you HAVE to use it.” So I did. (At least now I can say I’ve used it twice. I’m not a big fan of this set, but when I first saw it, I “had” to have it.)
I stamped the petals directly onto the patterned paper, cut them out and arranged them on the back side of another pattern from the collection. I wanted a couple of the petals to extend “outside of the box” (just because I like to do that) and the flower center is raised on a dimensional. There isn’t really much more to say about this card. It’s a bit busy, but I think I like it.
Don’t forget to pop on over to see what Julia, Lindsey and Trudee have come up with! I can’t wait to see for myself! (And for a little enabling, Lindsey has about 200 items in her store at 20% off until Monday…just fyi.)
Also, my good buddy, Dee, is having a blog give-away. Click here, scroll down just a bit and you’ll see it!!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!

Beautiful Michele! Love that Pick a Petal with this paper! The petals hanging over the box are pefect! I bought the set too and STILL haven’t used it! I need a kick in the pants! LOL Great card!
Hey Michelle,
I just “saw” you on Kimmie’s Corner (I have no idea how this all works), but it said you are from Nampa? Well, hello, from a Boise girl. I had no idea you are so close, ’cause I see you as a guru and gurus always live up on top of mountains, never next door!

Beautiful card! I have never been a fan of Pick a Petal, but I *love* what you did with it! The petals look so great on the paper — and the “out of the box” is a perfect touch! I always look forward to your Take Two with the rest of the “Fab Four”!!
Wow, nice job! Ditto to the Pick a Petal comment. When I first saw it I thought wow that is a cool set. I then decide not to get right away, and was glad I did because for the most part I just don’t care for it. But now that I have seen yours…. It definitely looks good when stamped on patterned paper. Good job!

Wow, this is easily the prettiest card I have seen using Pick a Petal. I had to have and have only used twice too. Your colors are scrumptious! Love your flower design, ribbons, layout and sentiment too. tFS
Love all these papers together, Michele, and the paper piercing! Now you’ve used this set one more time than I have, LOL!
Busy is good!! Love those papers, and the card is fab!! Since its just the 4 petals, its just right and not overwhelming!
You did a wonderful job with your pick a petal set!
So pretty Michelle!! I just played with this paper for the first time tonight too!!
Well, you made a super card with this set, Michele! It’s funny, this is one of those sets I’m going to try and use pretty soon. Can you believe I’ve NEVER used it? I’ve had it since the preorder and I’m just not inspired by it. I sure love these papers. You did great!
this is great. i love it. the colors, that flower, its all just happy.
What a beautiful use of this stamp set! I love the colours and design of your card. TFS!
Wow, love this! so funky and colorful!
