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

June 10, 2020

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.

Save

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!

Peaceful Moments in pastel colors

January 30, 2020
Yesterday I shared a bright and colorful card featuring the Peaceful Moments bundle. Today I have a soft and pastel card; totally different in colors and style but using the same bundle.

Save

Candace B made this one for our Flowerbug's Team swap. She chose to use Blushing Bride with Soft Sea Foam, White and Old Olive. Just gorgeous in a totally different way.
- White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Blushing Bride is 5 3/8" X 4 1/8"
- Soft Sea Foam is 5" X 3 3/4"
She sponged the large petals with Blushing Bride. I just love that little bud at the top of the leaves. It's one of the dies in the Poppy Moments set. You can see the bundle here.

Witty-Cisms Fun-Fold card

January 29, 2020
The Witty-Cisms stamp set is a great all occasions set with fun images and cute greetings to match. See it here. I created this cute card for a recent online card swap.

Save

It's a fun fold card with a double opening. The Real Red flap is scored and the scored edge is adhered under the inside White layer. The Granny Apple Green main card is standard size but 1" is cut off the right edge to reveal the White inside. The new Coastal Weave embossing folder was used on the front. This embossing folder is the one I'm giving to all online orders over $65 in January.

Sometimes with this type of fold I add the designer paper to the inside right edge so it shows from the front. This time I added it to the very front along with a stitched scalloped edge piece die-cut with the Stitched Be Mine dies seen here.

Here are the measurements:
- Granny Apple Green main card 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
- White inside 4" X 5 1/4"
- Real Red 4" X 2 1/2"
- Black 2 1/4" X 3 1/4"
- 1" X 5 1/2" Granny Apple Green gingham DSP; *from the Brights 6 X 6" DSP pack seen here.
And more details:
- I added a butterfly die-cut from the upcoming Nature's Thoughts dies. They'll be available in February in the Coordination Product Release.
- I stamped the main image three times; once on the White punch and again on Real Red for the strawberry and again on scraps of Green. These are cut out and popped up on the main image.
- White label is the new Label Me Lovely punch seen here. I love this new punch! A 1 3/4" circle punch fits inside it for layering. And oval shapes do as well!
