All About You & Additions - Day 5

**I apologize for my post being so late this morning. We had a bit of an emergency with our septic last night and fixing it is still in the works. Ugh..gotta love all those home ownership problems! Thanks for understanding!**

Here we are on the last and final day of the All About You and All About You Additions countdown. I'm so excited for tonight and for you to see the sets in full and to chat with you all at the release party. I want to once again thank each and every one of you so, SO much for your kind comments and e-mails. You gals always put a smile on my face and encourage me so much. Thank you  just doesn't seem like enough!!

Let me do a little recap on both the sets before we get started with todays cards!

All About You:

• 29 total images ( 2 large flowers, 2 large leaves, 1 small leave, bold polka dotted YOU, 4 circle centers, 16 sentiments )
• it will retail for $24 and will be available for purchase starting at midnight EST tonight on the Papertrey Ink website

All About You Additions:

• 7  total images ( large row of flowers, a sweet bee, a script 'You', 3 additional sentiments and an extra leave image )
• it will retail for $15 and will also be available for purchase starting at midnight EST tonight on the Papertrey Ink website

Ok so we've got the details out of the way now lets get to todays cards! I have 3 cards to share using all of the same color combo....Melon Berry & Spring Moss.

 

This first card is a 3.5 x 5 card. I created a little tag for the front and used some of the Simply Chartreuse felt for my flower to sit on. I used one of my Marvy circle scalloped punches and punched my flower out after stamping it in Melon Berry ink.  I stamped my flower center on a separate piece of cardstock and then punched it out with my 3/4" circle punch. I want to mention that all the flower centers in the set coordinate with any 3/4" circle punch. I stamped 'Just for' from All About You and 'You' from All About You Additions. I then used a Copic marker ( R02 ) and colored over the You. Before attaching my tag to my card front I stamped a border of the flowers along the bottom.

I started by stamping the small leave image from All About You onto my card base for this next card. I took another piece of the Simply Chartreuse felt and ran it through my die cut machine with a square scalloped Nestability. I cut just the corner of it off and stuck it underneath the upper corner of my sentiment.  Hope and Feel Better are two separate stamps in the All About You set. My flower was stamped in True Black ink and then colored in with the same Copic I used above ( R02 ).

For this last and final card I wanted to do something a little different and show just how every piece of this stamp set can be used in so many different ways. I started with a simple piece of white cardstock and stamped one of the large leave images along the bottom. I then stamped 4 of the flower centers onto a separate sheet of cardstock and punched them out using my  3/4 " circle punch. Using dimensional adhesive I attached each one over the top of each leave.  This sentiment is from the Additions set and a strip of Melon Berry ribbon and bow completed it.

We made it! YEAH! Tonight is the night. I hope to see you all at the release party and chat with you as we wait for the release! Check out Nichole, Heather,Lisa and Dawn's blog as they share their last projects with you!

Thank you, my friends! Have a wonderful day!

I was already sold on this set, I just love it! These projects are beautiful... I think the middle one is my favorite, but love them all.

So very pretty Melissa! Love the way the flowers and circles coordinate with punches many folks already own. And, who can resist polka dots????!!!!

[Janelle]

I especially love that last card, Melissa. You've certainly convinced me of the versatility of your new set -- it's a must have!

Hi Melissa. Good luck with your home problem! My favourite is the last card (but all are great!). I will be getting this set for sure tonight!

Sometimes home ownership is not all it's cracked to be, lol. I'm glad it's been resolved.

Your cards are BEAUTIFUL and all so different! I cannot wait to use your color combo because these are two of my favorite colors. I'm making a quilt for my great-granddaughter in pinks and greens. I'm going to the National Quilt Association quilt show Thursday and I'm going to look for some blue/aqua fabric to mix in. You inspire me to no end. TFS.
