Flowing Flowers

 Flowing Flowers

While I do have many floral stamp sets, I simply could not resist another one! One of my favorite style of stamp sets is the "Distinctive" stamps from Stampin' Up! These stamps create different opacities in a single stamped image. They are amazing! 

I used one of the NEW Flowing Flowers stamp and Fresh Freesia Ink to repeatedly stamp onto my Fresh Freesia Card Stock base. I love the variation in the tones and depth of the flowers.

I die cut a Basic White C/S label from the Meadow Dies and stamped my sentiment using Fresh Freesia Ink. I added a small rectangle of Basic Black C/S behind the tag. I finished it up with a Black Organdy Glittered Ribbon. I also decorated my envelope by repeatedly stamping on the back flap with a smaller floral image from the same set using Fresh Freesia Ink. 

This set also has many sentiments with beautiful fonts!

It's also Sale-A-Bration time at Stampin' Up! For every $60.00 order before tax and shipping you can choose a FREE item from the SAB Catalogue!

 Canada Ink's Up Blog Hop

This months theme for our teams Blog Hop is Birthday Celebrations! We always need birthday cards!

Isn't the Polished Pink Card Stock beautiful! I love this layout with the window and floral die cut from the Artistic Dies peeking out! 

I started with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base scored at 4 1/4" of Polished Pink C/S.

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Polished Pink C/S. Die cut a circle at the top center of this panel using the Layering Circles Dies. Emboss this panel using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. 

Using the same circle die as you did for cutting out the window, and the next largest die, layer them together and run them through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine using Basic White C/S. This cuts out the Basic White C/S border around the window. Paint this circle with some Wink Of Stella. Attach it around the window opening using tiny dots of Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. *Tip, use some removable tape or Washi Tape to hold the 2 circle dies together before running die cutting them.

Splatter Wink Of Stella all over the panel.

Die cut the large floral image from the Artistic Dies using Basic Black C/S. Using Multi-Purpose Glue attach this die cut to the center top of the card base. You might have to trim off a few little bits of the floral die cut before attaching the panel with the window over top. Splatter with some Wink Of Stella.

Add Foam Adhesive strips all around the panel with the window and attach to the card base. This adds a nice pop-up effect!

Stamp the sentiment from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set onto a strip of Basic White C/S using Memento Black Ink. Attach to the card front using Dimensionals.

Add a bow using the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon to finish off the card.

 Quick and Easy Thank You Cards

Sometimes you need a card in a hurry and this is a great layout to use. Make up a few in different colours and keep them on hand.

I designed all the cards the same way.

Repeatedly stamp the large flower from the Prized Peony Stamp Set in the same coloured ink as the card stock. 

Stamp either the large flower or the smaller flower from the Prized Peony Stamp Set onto the Basic White layering Circle. If the ink is too dark, stamp off onto scrap paper once then onto the circle. I love using this technique of softly adding a stamped image under my sentiment.  Stamp a sentiment using Memento Black Ink. Layer the Basic White circle with a Basic Black Scalloped Circle. 

I added various accessories to the cards;  Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon, Bakers Twine, Rhinestones, Matte Black Dots, Bumblebee Trinkets and a Basic Black small Dragonfly using the Dragonflies Punch. Use Dimensionals to attach the circles to the card front. 

The possibilities are endless! Use different stamps, inks, papers and accessories. Make up a batch and give them as gifts!

I hope I gave you some inspiration today!

Happy Stamping and Creating,

Arlene
