The simply beautiful Field of Flowers Stamp Set makes it easy to give your friends and loved ones hand-stamped cards featuring a summer meadow in bloom and watch their faces light up!
I have used Terracotta Tile but you could swap out for any color for the recipient’s favorite, lets face it Stampin’ UP! has plenty to choose from!
I have a real love of flowers, my dear Mum and dear Aunt both had ‘green’ thumbs, were enthusiastic gardeners and had beautiful gardens. The green thumb skipped a generation – I enjoy the garden when it is blooming but am certainly NOT an enthusiastic gardener, I am inspired by their example because I love the result – not the doing!
We have the power to inspire people just as they inspire us so creating today’s card was easy with the beautiful Inspiring Iris Stamp Set.
I think when you send a card you send a little piece of your heart, when you send a handmade card, well that is just a little bit more ‘heart’ going into the envelope!
Today I have a trio of parasols using the Pretty Parasol Stamp Set and Umbrella Builder Punch, paired with the lovely bright and cheerful Daffodil Delight and Whisper White.
I shared earlier this week that the 1/4 Grey Granite Shimmer Ribbon is a firm favorite – it goes with just about everything. I have also said in the past that my ribbon drawer is often the inspiration for some of my designs, so it goes without saying that my favorite ribbon would start the ball rolling on a card….. and so here it is!
I chose the Forever Fern Bundle, which has the Forever Fern Stamp Set and the Forever Flourishing Dies. If you are looking for an all occasion bundle then this is the one for you – it has the DistINKtive style of stamps which gives your images depths of color by just stamping once!
I am having a bit of a ‘thing’ with the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper – the soft florals in Basic Grey, Grey Granite, Petal Pink and Whisper White are just gorgeous, so much so I designed my July on-line class around this decorative paper.
I call this a ‘panel card’ because it is made up of several panels, showcasing several different designs, the paper takes up the entire design, with the Many Mates Stamp Set for the greetings. I also wanted to show that you could use the same design to meet multiple occasions by just changing out the greeting.
We have gone soft and subtle today, the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper is just packed full of beautiful visual textures that makes great backgrounds for your cards. I have paired this with the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set, Grey Granite ink and ribbon.
To build on the softness I chose to use a watercoloring and masking technique to use the beautiful ‘peony’ looking flower and soft and ‘floaty’ sort of leaves in the stamp set along with a greeting that would be about perfect for any occasion.
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Sue’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is to share what we have been working on!
Well, I have been working on building up my experience with Stampin’ Blends..…………….
Today’s card is so very feminine and uses one of my favorite color combinations, Blue and Vanilla, if you were to look in my wardrobe you would see a lot of this combination!
I have used the Ornate Thanks Bundle, the Ornate Thanks Stamp set has 3 big, bold greetings then a whole bunch of additional, supporting greetings in a beautiful script. Then additional decoration using the Ornate Borders Dies, while these are available separately you can get 10% off if you buy the bundle! Great Deal 🙂
Today is Independence Day here in the US, I usually make a card to share with you, to wish America Happy Birthday! My card is red, white and blue and I chose to use the pretty fern from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set in place of traditional images…. just to be a bit different.
Anyway, wishing all my readers, whether in the US or other parts of the world a Happy 4th!!
