Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!


Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set.  It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps. 

First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle.  I always love her swap cards! 

She used the triple time stamping technique.  This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.  

Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4".  The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.  

Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape. 

This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking!  Love this so much! 

And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper. 

This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles.  My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!

  • All Around Wreath for Christmas


    Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem!  So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.  

    Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap. 

    She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold.  The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.  

    Other details:

    • The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
    • The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
    • She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.
