Schoolhouse Rocks

Do you know what's quick and fun to do between loads?  Die cutting flowers!  Here are a few using some simple 'schoolhouse colors' ... let's start with a closeup - I thought that flower center was a great place to add a little love... you might recognize it from an old favorite Amy Tan embossing folder of mine!


This set of dies was included in a class I took from The Stamp Market
called Fun and Floral-y... not sure if they ever released the dies separately,
but I think ANY flower die would do the trick!


A postage theme seems right on trend!


Thanks so much for your visit today!

I wish my postage stamps were this delightful! And this cheap! Love the bright bold colors and shapes!

I might have to steal that flower center idea now that I have the EF in my hot little hands! These are both perfectly delightful and brought a smile!

Michele these cards are so Beautiful. I love the Stamp Market but don't love the shipping to Canada. Hope you are having a lovely summer, sorry I heard today you are getting smoke from some of wildfires to the west of Canada.

Love the simplicity of these. Nothing beats a simple flower in bold colours. I have a stamp market die set that is very similar, but maybe not exactly the same. It is called big shaker flowers xx

Both your cards are lovely. Love the cute little embossed heart in the center of the big flower. Those cute little flowers on the postage die cuts are adorable.

That big bold bloom and her little kids are so cute, Michele.

Red and yellow makes gorgeous flowers! Love the embossed heart! That little detail makes this extra special! I'll take a book of those stamps on the second card!

That SM class was a fun (and florally) one but I never thought to turn them into postage stamps! Genius!!
