All the cards you are seeing here are done with the Gina K Make A Wish set.
I am so excited about this set (obviously I have made tons with it) because not only is it great for any style, and occasion but $7 for EACH set goes to the Make A Wish Foundation. How amazing is it that by purchasing an item to create great hand stamped items, for sale, family, or friends that YOU can make a difference at the same time.
Anyone who knows “me” will know that this is an organization close to my heart, as my family has personally benefited from this organization.
On my blog you will see Alexa’s Story and her Make A wish page. Feel free to read it at your liesure, and put a FACE to the cause.
This card is my favorite with this flower so far.
I love the colors and softness this has. I was going for simple elegance with this one, and anytime I can incorporate butterflies you know I will.
Thanks to lacyquilter ( a behind the scenes enabler) I have a beautiful butterfly set arriving (SOON I HOPE) from Hero Arts Let me share with you, what she shared with me! Thank you!!! I cant wait to get them.

Many of you asked HOW I emboss vellum. Well the bottom of this card, is vellum cardstock. I run it through my cuttlebug (thestylized embossing folder) and DONE! Vellum CARDSTOCK is heavier than vellum PAPER so make sure you use the right thing. I get mine from Stampin’Up! The ribbon is from Michaels craft store.
I used a brilliance ink for this one-Crimson. The stems is aversamagic ink in Pesto. I use the versamagic ink ALOT! I love the coverage and look. I have and use lots of ink, but I think I turn to these the most.
I used some liquid applique for the dots. I thought it was similar to the actual flower.
The butterflies are my Martha Stewart punches. I just color the centers with a Copic marker, and then punch from the vellum cardstock.
The swirl is an Onare piercing template that I ahve yet to find available any longer! Its so sad cause I LOVE mine!!!!
Flower of Joy
This one uses some patterned paper by Chatterbox I have hoarded for like 2 years! I dont even know what the name is any more. I felt the flower matched the white bloom in the paper.
So I had to make another with the paper
Garden Flowers
These were stamped on the scalloped circle. I used a scrap acetate circle to overlay them. I LOVE that idea I had a while ago from THIScard. Got some use from my Photo Corner punch by SU! I will say its pretty cool!
Comfort and Peace
Here is another card I thought Id share. What I LOVE about this one, is the the flowers were stamped on a pale pink cardstock by Martha Stewart. I then applied a vellum overlay where I stamped the flower again (using the crimson ink) to make it POP against the others. I think its such a pretty sympathy card. I LOVE vellum cardstock!
Last but not least
Peaceful wishes
I have NO IDEA why this one is blurry. Maybe too much coffee!
All I did was punch a scalloped circle in some scrap cardstock. Used a dauber to add some saffron to the card base. I then stamped my flowers! For the center flower the bud was done with the Glue Pad, and then sprinkled with my MS glitter.
Quick, soft and simple.
I hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned tomorrow where I will share MORE! Yes MORE with this set! I went nuts when I got it. Plus my hope is to share some various styles and looks, the one set gives, in hope that you will consider adding it to your collection.
I also have a tutorial that is going to be shared VERY soon, for a idea I designed. You wont want to miss that let me tell you!
Thanks for sharing the love! 😀 Off to stamp!

O my gosh, these cards are stupendous. I can’t wait to get my set and I can only hope that I can do half as good as you. You can be very proud of these. I think I agree that the first one is the best, but I am not really sure of that, I love them all.
These are gorgeous! I need those butterfly punches.
They are all beautiful, but my fav, also, is the first! If you keep posting these beautiful cards, I’m sure I’ll have to have this set! What a great marketing tool you are!
Lauren, wow, you were busy with this set. They are all gorgeous, but your favorite is mine as well. The card is so soft and pretty!
