Look at all the pretty flower’s!!! Can you say SCORE!!!!
OK ladies-you don’t need to be a Bride to take advantage of this deal! I was shopping at Michaels,and I happened to browsed by the Wedding section, and for a whopping $4.99-found their BRIDE’S BUCKET, with a TON of GORGEOUS, SHIMMERY, EMBOSSED paper flower’s.
It is on an end cap! So eye’s peeled. AND PLEASE-try to restrain yourself from buying every last one, and leave some for the other crazy stampers! LOL! You really do get a bunch in each bucket.
You are looking at a cream bucket and white bucket.
These are just amazing in person. Imagine what a 50% off coupon could do too!!
WAHOOOO!!
I decided to share what they look like on a project 😀 As well as another use for them.
Keep reading!
The Princess and the Potion
I made the following 2 projects using Once Upon a Time. I had so much fun FINALLY using this set, that I created 6 projects for the day! Two I will share here now.
Think- invite to a VERY special princess party.
Here is a card I made to match my little potion (seen below). I went with a yellow/green theme. Not MY usual thought for Princess colors, but since I was focusing on the FROG, they worked! I like doing an unexpected color theme.
I added the little flowers randomly around my card. I colored some cut petals of those flower’s with a green Copic for “leaves” for the flowers! Don’t they look great?!!!! And the SHIMMER in person is SOOO pretty!So that is the cool thing you can do! Make leaves, and color them! More on that tomorrow.
My onare piercing template, helped make the flourish leaf/vine at the bottom flower.
Lots of glitter made it really SPARKLE! I colored my images with my Copic Markers. They really make coloring SO EASY! I actually LOVE to color. Reminds me of being a kid. Only now I have an excuse.
PRACTICE- PRACTICE- PRACTICE! I am by no means a pro when it comes to the coloring with these, but am very happy with my results. Just have fun with it.
Now onto the little gift to match my card-a party favor if you will.
Also in the bridal section, I got 20 mini jars for only $9.99-after my coupon. These little jars can hold the coolest little things. When combined with a coupon its only .50 CENTS each!
Think Princess Party Favors! I wrote a poem to match! I included this little poem, rolled up in a scroll!
FROG TO PRINCE POTION
You have a frog-Cute as can be
Is he your true love? How can he be?
Here is the potion, just make him eat three.
Before you know it, your Prince Charming he’ll be.

Inside this jar, is a bunch of green Starburst Jelly Beans.
This took literally under 5 minutes to make! Assembly line and you could really whip them out.
See my pretty flowers on the side? PERFECT!
My Spring Moss Twill byPTI-is also a perfect touch! I have to say if you could only afford ONE style of ribbon, THIS is my choice. Its so not like OTHER twill. It feels soft as satin, and as you can see ties beautifully.
So that is it for my BIG FIND, and projects for today. Sorry Im late posting but had a FULL day with the kids.
I am super busy and have a ton of emails to sort through.

Super cute Lauren! The flowers and the frog/prince potion! I gotta run to Mike’s now 🙂 before some other person buys them all – LOL!
Just as an FYI … right now Walmart has cool jelly beans in the Easter candy aisle, they’re bags of single colors – in flavors very similar to jelly belly. i.e. there are green ones (that are margarita or mojito or something) blue ones … purple ones … and pink ones .
Wow!! Hope Michael’s still has some when I get there tomorrow!! Thanks for sharing your amazing find and your talent!!

OH MY GOSH, you are TOO MUCH!!!! I LOVE those flowers, and your card and container are AWESOME! I just love your creativity, you blow me away. SUCH FUN you invoke into EVERYTHING!
Thanks for sharing your FIND with us…I need to get to Michael’s, too bad it’s an hour from me…oh well! It will be worth the trip!
Can’t wait to see your blog every day, for all the fun things you provide for us! 😀
Ooh way cute! Guess I’ll take my new Michael’s coupon and head on over there tomorrow. I also need to find the Cards Magazine cuz rumor has it, I know people with cards in there! LOL!
The card is precious, Lauren! It looks perfect.
Thank you for the information about Michael’s I will have to check this out at Michael’s. I love your card, the dragon and princess and frog, your colors and glitter is wonderful.
Oh good god, I was just in Michaels yesterday! Of course I didn’t go through the wedding aisle. I will check next time.
Awesome card and goody! Love it! Sorry hit submit tooo fast on my last post.
What a fun, creative & clever card! Love all those little details!
I was at Michael’s just yesterday and I did see these but my brain fizzled after that. I guess I was too focused on G’s birthday! 😉 Ah, no worries. I have to go back soon anyways so I’ll grab a few! Never thought to use the petals as leaves either. Pretty clever, Chickie!
I can’t remember – they have white and cream or silver?
Okay, gotta run. I didnt’ get a chance to call you today – but I’ll try tomorrow.
Hugs,
Renee
These are both adorable!! Love ’em!
The card is fantastic. I love the dragon’s glittery wings….right out of a Fairy Tale.
Hi Lauren, Haven’t visited your blog in forever, and need to catch up on it one of these days. At least I can keep up on SCS. Just stopped in to say I got the March Cards in yesterday’s mail and was thrilled to see your work!!! Way to go! You are so talented and more and more people are enjoying your fabulous work! Very cool, very impressive! You rock!
You know, you keep amazing us with each successive project! It’s amazing what you can do with a little paper, ink, flowers, a little glitter . . . absolutely beautiful!! And that frog’s potion jar is just incredible!
I absolutely LOVE it! I have been wanting this set and now I have to go to Michael’s!
wow, these are awesome, where’s a 24 hour Michael’s when you need one ??
Hi! I just found your blog and will be checking in often for wonderful ideas. It sounds like one of the first things that I need to do is move to a city that has Michael’s! Thanks for sharing your creative juices and enthusiasm with all of us!
Oh my gosh!!! What a find! And what a darling poem too!
I was just at Michael’s today buying the dew droppy things you found awhile ago. I bought the pink ones and today I got the white ones. I sure wish I would have check here before I went – now I have to go back!!! I love when you go shopping because you find the neatest things and then you even show how you use them. That is so great! Thanks. Please go shopping some more.
Hi Lauren,
How I wish we had Michael’s and the US version of Target down here in Australia, just love all the cute bits and pieces you can get there. Whether I could make such gorgeous things with them is another matter of course lol!
Sharon
Lauren,
Thanks for the info on the flowers. I love how you have used them! Your card design is beautiful. Joan
This is one of those days where you’ve actually dumbfounded me. Not only an amazing project, but a matching rhyme as well. So are those flowers’ edges embossed even?
This is so cute! I love the princess theme. Thank you for sharing your find. I hope I can find some here (in Canada) too!
Oh goodness…now I have to go to Michael’s this morning? Girl….you’re such an enabler…rofl!
Love your card…so stinkin’cute…the glitter, flowers and gems are so awesome!
Those little container/jars are awesome. Been eyeing them at Mike’s too….waiting on a coupon but we didn’t get one this week with our junk mail…better be one THIS weekend! haha!
Thanks for sharing 😉
Cute, cute, cute and too cute!!!
I’m heading to Mike’s this morning with my coupon!
Thanks for looking out for us and telling us about your awesome finds!
Lauren,
Just thought I would let you know…I was checking out the Stampin’ Discuss Forum on SU! Demonstrator website and saw a post by a couple of people looking for directions for the onsie card on Stamper’s Showcase. I posted a reply, letting them know that the original design comes from you and posted a link to your tutorial. You deserve all of the credit for such an adorable design!

Sooooo CUTE! I was at M’s last week and picked up a pail of the white flowers, but didn’t see the ivory flower’s:( I guess I will just have to go back and find them! The mini jars are adorable. I am planning a pirate party for my oldest son so I think I might do the little jars filled with chocolate gold coins for favors. I have been dying to use the pirate set from SU! Thanks for sharing your fab ideas! It is such a shame that some people take advantage of your willingness to share your creativity with us. I’m glad that you have so many fans and supporters who are able to spot those who are pirating your ideas as their own and report it back to you.
You are so very well loved and respected in the stamping community that I think people will probably think before they try to do this again. I am sure that it has been quite humiliating for the gal who tried to pass of the onesie card as her own since her name was posted for all to see!
I will quit rambling now!
Thank you again for sharing!
We absolutely love your card today – my daughter and I. That set is on her wish list. 🙂
Your sit has to be everybody’s best…your work is just fabulous…I have an award for you at my site…if you can ever get through reading all of these comments 🙂
There you go creating more stuff for me to do at work! I often wonder what the management thinks of stuff suddenly selling in incredible amounts that they never imagined and all over the country too!
Lauren, I guess since you made six projects with this stamp set that explains your absence for the past few days. Glad to hear from you, and with such a cute project.
Your projects are always fabulous and this one is no exception! Love your coloring and those flowers are perfect! What great favors for a princess! Love it!
Oh my gosh, I must get to Michael’s to get those flowers!!! Love them! Too bad I have to work today:)!
WOW WOW WOW , thanks for sharing, and your card is fabulous love all the sparkle and it really shows off how detailed the flowers are !
Oooooooooooooh those flowers are gonna be MINE!!!! What a find!!!!
And I love both of these projects, the princess card is so fresh and springy. And the frog potion is just too cute!
I also haven’t read any of the comments on your last post about the stolen idea, past mine. But ‘pfffffffffffffffffffffff’ to anyone who thinks its ok to steal!
I do not have a Michaels near me…would you please share with me the maker of these buckets of flowers so I can try to look online for them? Thanks so much! :)Shellie
Lauren ~ What a find! You are the best – thank you for sharing when you find a good deal! I was just at Michael’s on Monday and missed this, but then again I don’t normally go to the bridal aidle! I will try to get over there this weekend!
Dorothy
P.S. The Crowns are just adorable! You did a wonderful job!
You just come up with the cutest ideas! I just love getting emails from you when you update your blog. Such creativity! 🙂
I wonder if you can ink or color these flowers. I don’t know what I would do with a ton of white or cream colored flowers unless I was getting married.
Like I need more incentive to hit Micheal’s. They have such a nice section of $1.00 items and clearance and stamps and paper and ……….
Gosh – I thought I could stay OUT of Michaels this weekend. Guess not! My niece/goddaughter had her first birthday party 2 weekends ago and of course it was a pink princess explosion!
The problem was that most of the attendees to the party were her cousins, which are ALL boys! They were none too happy with the pink princess idea. So to compensate, I made goodie boxes in pink for the girls with cuttlebug emossed crowns on them – and for the boys I made green boxes with a cute frog embellishment and the angel company stamp saying “My Prince Charming.”
Also, I wanted to let you and your readers know, I posted a comment to your previous post with some more copyright information. It is the librarian in me – I just can’t help myself. Gotta give people information!!!!! Anyway, I do just love that frog.
Wow, I wish we had a Michael’s nearby. The closest one is a half hour away. Going to have to make a side trip to pick up some of these flowers!!
Hehe, too cute the frog potion!… YThose little jars looks a lot like the ones I bought at Ikea and that I use to store my buttons and such by color…. I saw that Target also has little boxes with clear lid in the bridal/invites department…
Hopefully I’ll soon post pics of my crafty nook for you to see, still working on it, got to finish varnishing the desk!… 😉
Your projects are darling, Lauren!! Thanks for sharing all that you do!!
I already went and have them in my hot little hands. They were out of the little jars though.
Sheri
LOVE the card Lauren, I am off to Michaels to pick up a can or two! Jennifer 🙂
So absolutely precious, Lauren! You ROCK!
Love your cards and your blog. Have been trying to subscribe to your blog and have tried both email addresses that I currently use.

As a newbie to this… Just wanted to say: Thanks so much for sharing!
I ran out to Michaels when I saw your blog on Saturday… for those that didn’t get there yet – They went on Sale (25% off) Sunday (yesterday)… not sure of that’s local or nationwide.
I made a card using them tonight, Lauren, if I can share it, I’ll e-mail it to you to see… just let me know.
Lauren,
I love to check out your blog. You always have such fun ideas! I was at Michael’s today myself and picked up these super cute flowers. Thanks for sharing. Like the previous post mentioned they are on sale this week so double score!
Thanks for the hint on the flowers!! I picked some up last week and they are fabulous!!! Here is one of my creations if you would like to take a look!!
