My favorite flower is TULIPS! I just love them. Any and every color, they are my favorite to receive.
Favorite Flower set-well as you can tell my my blog banner, my current favorite flower set is Jolies Fleurs by Lizzie Anne.
I love alot of sets but this has been my favorite for about 2 months.
I am also in love with SU! Garden Whimsy (kinda more like a butterfly set) and Bodacious Bouquet. I have to get Dare to be Fabulous as well.
OK now SKETCH TIME!
Happy Hula
click to enlarge sketch thumbnail.
When I saw that All That Scraps got in images from The Cat’s Pajama’s I did my own little “happy dance” Check them out HERE. When this card was being designed that was my thought-HAPPY DANCE!
I HAD to get the hula cat and surfer dog! Why? cause Jason and I got married in Hawaii, and our anniversary is next month! I always make him a beach themed card!
So I decided to do this card for your sketch. Its not Jason’s anniversary card. Just a fun to play card! Its pretty basic, and the simplest embellishments can make it a REAL WOW!
It all started with my patterned paper! I used Basic Grey INFUSE. I wanted it to have a Hawaiian feel, and believe it or not I feel like I got it! I always get the 6×6 pads. I like having a variety of each sheet, but not take up a ton of room and waste money on larger sheets that I will only hoard! LOL!
I then used Brown StazOn for my cat, which is stamped on natural ivory-and colored her in with myCOPIC markers. The oval shadow is by A Muse. Sentiment is my cut up set from SU! called So Many Sayings. Thats working very well BTW!
My cat is layered onto Wild Wasabi cardstock (which amazingly I LOVE), and the base is Groovy Guava! My ribbon is (you guessed it) Martha Stewart! And then it had to have some prima’s!!!!!!!!!! Lets not forget the BLING! My bling is usually by K&co. I swear I wish they sold JUST the green color separately. I also love their other colors and go through ALOT of packs cause its not often that I DON’T use BLING!
NOTE: All the items on this card really do match perfectly I SWEAR! LOL!
So I hope you like my cat card! Im dying to read your responses. The MOTHER responses are killing me!
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with me.
Please send me a link to your sketch if you try it. I love when I help inspire you, and get different takes on it!
Happy Stampin-

I love, love, love tulips too! My favorite flower stamp set is a tie between Terrific Tulips and Roses in Winter. Pretty predictable I suppose.
my all-time favourite REAL flower is the gerber daisy. i know every woman goes through a phase (usually in her 20’s) when she loves this flower, but it wasn’t a phase for me. it stuck! haha.. so, my fav’ flower stamp is a gerber made by impress. my fav SU! flower set is bodacious buds (that being said i have garden whimsy on the way and it may be my new fav, who knows!)
I have to second tulips. i have the darkest shade of pink tulips planted along my flower bed and then by my front walk around a lamppost I have pale purple. They are just the most stunning flower.
Looks like I have to third (or fourth?) tulips! We saw so many beautiful ones this spring; they’re in everyone’s yard around here (except ours; we rent). Just gorgeous! My favorite flower set is Petal Prints!
My favorite flowers are daisies. I got a lot of mileage out of Both Way Blossoms last year. Don’t have a new favorite yet, though…
Oh, and I can’t wait to see what you do with Garden Whimsy!
My favorite flowers are Gerber Daisies – love them, so bright and pretty! I also love tulips too! Don’t really have a favorite flower stamp, I’m not very good at florals. . . . thanks for the chance!
My favorite flowers are roses! I love the smell and the look. They make me smile! Thanks for the chance to win blog goodies!

My favorite flower is the rose. I love them when they are small and have just started to open. My favorite flower stamp set is In Full Bloom. I think it is just a great set to use for many occasions.
My favorite flower is the daisy. My favorite flower stamp set is polka dots and posies. Even though its not a daisy i think the polka dots make the flower sooo cute!!
My fave flower is the lily. To be quite honest I don’t have any flower stamps, I am actually thinking about getting the pick a petal SU set to start with. I love how creative you can be with one stamp.
My favorite flower is the rose and then the lily. Roses are the center of my wedding in September. My favorite flower stamp set is the retired Roses in Winter.
Daisies or roses!!!
My fvourite flower – that is tough because I have so many in my gardens, but, I guess Roses are one and they are just beautiful this year (actually they were my dad’s but since he passed away in April we now tend to them) and the other is delphiniums – we have quite a few in our garden and they grew to at least five feet with the spires and are in shades of purple, blue, mauve, pink and white and to me are just gorgeous spread throughout our gardens.
My favorite flower is the Hydragia…..They cover our east fence and are in bloom all summer.
My most favorite flower stamp set is In Full Bloom…..I have done and seen so much with this set and never get tired of it.
Hibiscus they are so my favorite flower I have big pink hibiscus growing in my flowerbed . I love roses also the cards are beautiful.
My all time favorite flower would have to be gerbera daisies! Esp. pink ones. So far, my favorite floral stamp set would hafta be SU! Bodacious Boquet. Love it. Thanks, Lauren. I LOVE you kitty card!
My favorite flower is a daisy – I wish they smelled pretty! My favorite flower set is the recently retired (sniff, sniff) Petal Prints by Stampin’ Up! Thanks!
My favorite flower is the Hydrangea – so many beautiful colors ! Especially when they are huge bushes of it… 🙂
My favorite flower stamp set is Big Blooms — love the modern style of it. It’s so fun to use!
I love all flowers – you really can’t go wrong with any of them! But if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be irises. I love the bold, bright colors and all the variations in shade of color you can get with them. I grew up in the iris capital of the world and couldn’t wait until May each year when you could get armloads of irises super cheap!
I really love all flowers, not sure how to pick just one. From roses to lillies (as long as they are outside) and even peonies to daisies, they are all wonderful. And let’s see, favorite floral stamp set, well…right now I really like working with Bodacious Bouquet.
My fav flowers are geraniums, closely followed by hollyhocks. I have pots of geraniums, with some other annuals, all over my front porch – love all colors of geranium, too – red, white, coral, pink, dark pink – I’m not partial to any color, just love the combination of flowers and those beautiful geranium leaves. Hmmm – my fav floral stamp at the moment would have to be *Geraniums* from Lockhart Stamp Co.!
My very favorite flowers are purple irises. We own a 200 year old farm house and it is surrounded by purple irisies. My favorite picture of my daughter is when she was three getting ready for Easter services. She’s standing in the yard pushing the hair out of her face and there are irises all behind her. I have almost every flower set Stampin Up ever had. I’m not getting rid of any of them either. I also have Garden Whimsy and Fabulous flowers, but right now I’m loving Garde Silhouettes.
my favorite flower is the rose… and my favorite flower stamp set is cottage rose from stampin up…. love your blog
My favorite flower is tiger lilys but I can’t have them that often in the house as they are poisinous to my cats, so I enjoy them in other people’s yards in my neighbourhood.
Favored floral stamp set…that really is a hard one, I just don’t know, I do know that I have quite a few of them but I haven’t used them often enough to know their names, I like the SU’s spring set with the matching punch as I have both and have used both quite a bit lately…
Hope you enjoy you summer
I love colorful gerber daisies, but I think my very favorite would have to be cala lilies. 🙂
My favorite flowers are cosmos. They are so beautiful in a wildflower garden. I love your hula cat!
Peonies because of their huge flower. Just wish they stayed in bloom longer.
Love your Cat’s Pajamas card…these are such fun stamps. My fav flower is a bird of paradise. My fav stamp set is Garden Silhouettes so I better order enough stuff to get it!
I really enjoy orchids – all different kinds. And my current favorite flower set is Bodacious Bouquet! So glad it’s not retired! A bit sad it’s {only} listed on the dormant list!
I love lilacs-growing up my mom hated them as she thought they were for funerals for some reason. We had some in our yard and I would always look forward to them and the wonderful aroma every spring. She had my dad cut them down one year and I cried and cried. I finally have my own yard and my own lilacs and I cried the first time they bloomed. I also have jasmine growing up a trellis and it is exquisit too.
My favorite stamps are the ones where you can stamp one and overlay with another image and color-I have about 50 like that and love them all-from SU to Hero Arts to Penny Black.
My favorite flower is a Daisy. When my aunt and uncle got married (approx. 30+ years ago), they had daisies as the main theme of their wedding. The bridesmaids, and I (the flowergirl) even had embroidered daisies on our dresses! My favorite flower stamp set: BUD BASICS!
Sweet candy! I love tulips too. I just wished they would last longer then they do. I would say my fav SU flower set is Roses in Winter. Thanks for a chance.
I love lilys, especial day lilys. My favorite flower stamp set is Doodle This.
My favorite flower is the hydrangea … love those big, colorful blooms and how they come back every year. One of my favorite flower stamps is the Hero Arts artistic daisy.
I love flowers period! A passion shared by my daughter as well! If I were to choose a favorite I would agree with you on the TULIPS! I have always told my husband I prefer my flowers living and not to waste money on sending me flowers since you eventually have to throw them away. Lucky me though, he always sends me the most beautiful tulips for our anniversary! I love these arrangments and did you know that if you put a copper penny (what other kind is there? LOL!) in the vase it will make the flowers last longer?! When we lived in Europe my DH made a special trip to take me to the Netherlands to a place called “Kukenhof Gardens” so I could see real tulips growing in Holland! It was the most beautiful place on earth! Fields of colors of different tulips – you would have loved it! I like Gerbrera Daisies as well, not as much as tulips but these run a close second! My daughter would tell you these are her favorites too! I have a favorite flower stamp set from SU! and a flower stamp from Michael’s that I love! The SU! set is the retired “In Full Bloom” set – beautiful when watercolored! The stamp I love from Michael’s is a simple daisy like stamp that is just perfect when you don’t know what else to stamp on a person’s card! Who doesn’t like a daisy?! He love’s me, he love’s me, he love’s me….there’s no doubt he love’s me……! Okay I rattled on long enoug here! Thanks for the opportunity!
[…] MISS THE MYTIME MAIL here. Winner drawn on […]
Tulips! Tulips! Tulips! What can say? Their soft looking and beautiful. No particular one flower stamp! Cute Cards! Thanks for a chance as such great blog candy. 🙂
I love lilacs…they are so pretty and smell amazing. God was so good to give us flowers. Favorite flower set? That’s hard. I have so many. I’ll always keep Botanicals though.
I like lilies.
My fav. flower is an orchid. My fav. stamp set is Roses in winter. Thanks for a chance at the FABULOUS blog candy!
My favorite flower is the daisy- it’s so simple and pretty and can be so vibrant in the different colors! My fave flower stamp set would have to be In Full Bloom by SU! or maybe Happy Harmony!
My favorite flower is a lily. Even had them for my wedding and grow all types in my garden. My favorite flower set was ‘ In full bloom” Now I will have to pick another.
My favorite flower changes all the time since I work in a florist shop!! Right now I’m loving dahlias and love to use them when making arrangements! They add so much to any arrangement. I also love stargazer lillies which I now have planted in my yard. I love making cards with all different flower stamps and flourishes so I guess I don’t have a favorite.
I love Zinnias…it’s a hard flower to find a stamp of but memory Box has one…so of course, Ii snatched one up. 🙂 I love them because they come in so many colors…they are like snowflakes to me…they are all different.
My favourite flower changes quite often, but right now I’d have to say that it’s delphiniums. I don’t have a favourite floral stamp set.
That’s a hard one…I love tulips, gerber daisies, and lilacs!!! My fav floral set is SU!s Big Blooms…that since retired!!!
Magnolias….so beautiful and fragrant!
My favorite flower has always been the rose. I think it is one of the most elegant flowers I have ever seen. It is beautiful as one or with others. Of course, it has been a very long time since I have gotten any…being divorced, etc. But I still love how beautiful they are.
I love bearded Iris!
I like so many flowers, and try to surround myself with them everywhere. My favorites are simple flowers like Gerbera Daisies. But I really like Hydrangea – they are so pretty when they are blooming because they are usually two-toned like green and pink together. I love that! As for my favorite set right now, that’s a hard one, perhaps Big Blooms or Pollen Dust. I like most flowers sets, so that’s difficult! Have a wonderful day!
My favorite flower is daisy and cone flowers – I think it was quoted in You’ve Got Mail – they are happy flowers and I can’t help but smile when I see them – they are currently bloomin like crazy in my garden!
My favorite flower set right now is SU Doodles…
My favorite flower is Iris. I have several iris stamps too.
My favorite flower is a sunflower! I have every sunflower set I can find!
My favorite stamp flower right now is the large flower in the “dare to be fabulous” set. Hard to choose just one favorite flower as I love them all. Sweet peas, zinnas, phlox and dahlias are all up there.
I am a flower nut! So it is difficult for me to pick a favorite. But Orchids, Lillies and Irises have to be my most loved. I went to a huge flower show in Boston years ago and just could not beleive all the different colors and varieties of flowers there were. God has shown us so much beauty through flowers! And I can see why you love tulips so much. Another real beauty!
Anyway, it is also hard for me to pick a favorite flower stamp set too, but I have to go with Toile Blossoms. I think I am still in mourning over its’ retirement!
My favorite flowers are african violets, and right now my favorite flower stamp set is the new SU set, Pick-a-Petal I think it’s called, I just LOVE IT!
My favorite flower is tulips. My favorite flower stamp is from the Heartfelt Thanks set.
Pat
I love any kind of Jasmine, such a sweet smell when I arrive home after a long day at work…..I love the In Full Bloom set….
Your cat card is so cute, TFS……
It is too hard to narrow it down…I love roses and SU’s Roses in Winter…I love that roses come in so many beautiful colors… Second fave is gerber daisies…I love the size, shape and color of them…
My favorite flower is the cornflower – those purplely-blue ones that grow along the roadside. Unfortunately, they don’t last AT ALL if picked. I also like violets (purple!) and they do last and smell AWESOME in the house. I’ve always liked the violet stamp set in the SU! catty and WAS going to get it last year…but something always intervened and I haven’t gotten it YET!
Your anniversary card rocks!
Wow, very tough choice here, lol. Overall I suppose my favorite is the rose, but it’s followed very closely by tulips, daisies, carnations and lilacs.
For the longest time my favorite flower set was In Full Bloom – in fact I found myself stuck in such a rut with it. I finally moved on to Roses in Winter, but now I’m definitely in search of something new. I’m sure it won’t be long until you do something that inspires me!
I just love “in Full Bloom” so sad to see it discontinued as it is such a versatile stamp set.
Love your blog
I just love hydrangeas and also crocosmia…
Favorite sets — I am loving Baroque Motifs (use it all the time, lately — love that flourish!) and Dare to be Fabulous, which I don’t have (yet ;^)*
Thanks for such a lovely blog, Lauren. You have inspired me to start one of my own!
My favorite flower is star gazer lilies!! They were my wedding flower and now everytime I smell them I think of that wonderful day!!
I love iris. They have been my favorite ever since I was a kid. I also love tulips now that I live in a town with a strong dutch heritage. We have a tulip festival every spring. I love tons of flower sets, can’t pick just one. Thanks!
My favorite flowers are red roses and my favorite flower stamp set is CTMH’s Friendships Blessings.
Hi! Love your blog! I would have to say that my favorite flower is Hydrangea. They’re just so full and colorful and they’re so fun to decorate with. In terms of flower stamps, my favorite would be Mixed Bouquet by SU! Have a great day!
I love Roses, ones that are ivory with light pink centers. My favorite flower set is Roses in Winter!!!
Another Gerber Daisy lover here, and I’d have to say my favorite flower stamp set is Heartfelt Thanks.
I love roses but like all flowers. My favorite flower stamp set is Roses in Winter, I wish they hadn’t discontined that one. 🙁 Ah well will have to find a new favorite. 🙂
Peace rose and Provence Lavender 😀
I’m still in love with Mixed Bouquet.
I love all flowers! This year I think my favorites are Lilly’s, my favorite flower stamp, not sure I have a lot of flower stamps, and I think they sort of “switch” it seems as though which ever one I’m using at the time, if that makes any sense, I love your blog! and thanks for the chance to win some “goodies”
My favorite flower is the tulip, too! My favorite flower stamp set is Terrific Tulips. I hope I win! I love that SS kit!!
Oooh I love this card, I have some of these images that Julee sent me, yipeee
Hi Lauren! Happy Monday to ya!
My favorite flower is gladiolas…they are just heavenly!
Favorite flower stamp is Petal Prints 🙂
Thanks!
My favorite flower is jasmine – ah the smell of warm summer nights
My favorite stamp set right now is Bronc Buster. I know, strange. *shrugs*
Hey Lauren – my favorite flowers to receive are Carnations. I know, a pretty simply flower – but they are so pretty, smell nice, and last forever! My favorite flower stamp set – thats a tough one! I love Terrific Tulips and Roses in Winter. I just got Garden Whimsy and love it as well! May become my new favorite once I play with it some more.
Ok – on to the card you made- as always, terrific card! What amazes me is how well you coordinated all the different company products to make this card! Great job- it does go very well together! This is the one area I need to work on. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
hi lauren,
my favorite flower is the calla lily… but i also love tulips!
my favorite flower stamp set right now is garden silhouettes
I stumbled upon your blog this morning as I was looking at cards on SCS. I loved your recent one (that led me to your blog) using the large butterfly from Garden Whimsy! Love the ‘extra’ vellum butterfly – it’s so pretty! I’ve admired your work before, but now to see your blog…I added you to my faves under stamping blogs RIGHT AWAY! =)
My favorite flower? I can’t decide, cause I love all sorts of flowers!! To narrow it down to two: I LOVE roses, and I also LOVE lilacs…both of them because of their scent, but the beauty of a rose…well, it’s…awesome. My favorite flower stamp set? SU!’s Mixed Bouquet would have to be at the top of my list (so sad it’s retired now!)…
Thanks for all your creativity & dedication to the stamping world!! =)

I Have two favorite flowers. the first is the daisy! They are so simple yet elegant! They can also go in any room of the house to help brighten up that room! The second would be the Calla Lily! I love them! I had some in my Wedding Bouquet. They make anything look good! =) As far as my favorite stamp set, from SU I really love Doodle this and Delight in life! They are so versital!
Hi Lauren. Here’s a link to the card I made for your sketch challenge.
