Flowing Flowers stamp set

Hello fiends,

Here is a very vibrant coloured card, and I think we can all do with something bright and cheerful at the moment.

I chose the colours for the flowers as they were 2 of the colours in the designer paper used on the background. This is from the Sunshine & Rainbows 6”x6” Designer Series Paper (#158126). This is a Sale-a-bration product and will only be available till 16th March, so don't miss out on getting this beautiful paper.

The DSP is matted with Bermuda Bay card (#131286), then attached to the Basic White base card (#159228).

I stamped the pink flower with Magenta Madness ink (#153117) onto Magenta Madness card (#153085). The other flower was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink (#147096) onto Coastal Cabana card (#131302). These flowers are from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880). The flowers were fussy cut.

The leaves were cut with dies from the Flowers Of Home (#157938). I used Gold Foil (#132622) which had been backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334).

“Happy Birthday” is from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and stamped with Magenta Madness ink. A Potted Succulent die (#154330) was used to cut the sentiment then it was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The Iridescent Basic Rhinestones (#158130) were added to the card.

TIP: You can choose a free sale-a-bration product with every $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! Products (in Australia). However time is running out so place your order before 16th March.

Flowing Flowers

Welcome everyone,

I often have bits & pieces left after making a card as I have stamped or cut too many images or it just wasn’t right for that particular project. I actually have a box of these leftovers but I find when I need a card in a hurry, these certainly come in very handy. The flower and leaves on this card are from that box of goodies.

The flower from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) was stamped with Poppy Parade ink (#147050), then fussy cut. The leaves were cut with a die from the Forever Flourishing dies (#152714) and I used Pear Pizzaz card (#131290).

I stamped the splotches from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (#155082) with Crumb Cake ink (#147116) onto the Basic White card front (#159228). The strip of Pattern Party 12”x12” Designer Series Paper (#155426) was attached to the card front, then I daubered around the card with Poppy parade ink. 

The flower was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). “Happy Birthday” is also from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and I used Poppy Parade ink. The die to cut this is from the Potted Succulents dies (#154330). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the sentiment. The embellishments are the Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels (#146924).

TIP: Many of the die sets have label dies which are suitable for a great range of sentiments, so it’s worthwhile checking your dies to see what one suits your particular sentiment. It could be in an unexpected set and it’s easy to forget what is available. I am currently cutting out all my label dies, and labelling what die set they belong to and placing them in a folder so it it easy to find the die I want.

Flowing Flowers stamp set

Hello friends,

I have used the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) for all the stamped images on this pretty card. 

I stamped the 2 floral images on the Basic White card front (#159228) with Balmy Blue ink (#147105) and Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). Then I dry embossed this with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (#152718). The edges were daubered with Poppy Parade ink (#147050). The larger flowers were stamped with Poppy Parade ink and Mango Melody ink (#147093), then fussy cut.

I cut the greenery from Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) which had been backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334) before cutting with the Flowers Of Home Dies (#157938). I attached the greenery to the card front, then attached the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

“Happy Birthday” was stamped with Poppy Parade ink and I used an Ornate Frames Die (#159664) to cut the sentiment. Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) were used to attach this to the card. I added the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#146924) to the red flower and Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#151193) to the yellow flower.

TIP: Stamp on the card before dry embossing to get the best result with the stamping.

Flowing Flowers

Hello stamping friends,

I have stamped the flowers from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) using the masking technique.

First I stamped the Polished Pink (#155712) flower, then using a mask on the pink flower I stamped the next flower with Pale Papaya ink (#155670). I added a mask over this flower as well and stamped the 3rd flower with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611). I stamped the leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102), also using masks on the flowers.

The swirl from the Sentimental Swirls stamp set (#157996) was stamped with So Saffron ink (#147109). I matted this Basic White card (#159228) with Basic Black card (#121688), then attached the card front to the Basic White base card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Artistically Inked stamp set (#154542) and also stamped with So Saffron ink. The label die from the Bloom dies (#155989) was used to cut the sentiment. I attached this to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The butterfly was cut with a Brilliant Wings Die (#155523) using the gold from the Gold & Rose Gold 6”x6” Metallic Specialty Paper (#156844) and a Mini Glue Dot (#103683) was used to attach this to the sentiment. The Brushed Brass Butterflies (#158136) were also added to the card.

TIP: When I make a mask for this technique, I stamp the image on a post-it note and cut around the image without leaving any margin outside the outline of the image. This allows the next image to stamp as close as possible to the masked image. Also, I use a post-it note as it thinner than cardstock and has a sticky area to allow it to stick to the card.

Flowing Flowers stamp set

Hello my crafty friends,

These flowers are from the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set (#157880) and I have used the Masking Technique when stamping the flowers.

I stamped the flower on the right with Flirty Flamingo ink (#147052). I made a mask by stamping this flower on a post-it note and cut out the flower then this was placed on top of the stamped image on the Basic White card (#159228). Then I stamped the second flower with Fresh Freesia ink (#155611) overlapping the images.

I dry embossed the stamped card front with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing Folder (#152718) and attached it to a triangle of the Flirty Flaming card (#141421). The base card is Basic White.

“Thank You” is also from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink. This was cut with a die from the Sweet Hearts Dies (#157623). I threaded the Silver Simply Elegant Trim (#155766) through the tag. The row of hearts were also cut with the Sweet Hearts Dies. I used Flirty Flamingo card which was backed with Adhesive Sheets (#152334). One of the hearts from the middle of the row of hearts was attached to the tag. The tag was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).
