Well folks, another Sympathy card. I guess some weeks are just like that. Luckily the Petal Park set and builder punch is a great choice to lift someone’s spirit. I love these flowers and the punch make it so quick and easy. Click here for tips on how to stamp and punch perfect images every time.

While sending sympathy cards is not my favorite thing, flowers are and of course there are a lot of flower choices in the new 2023-2024 AC (annual catalog). This card could easily be turned into a birthday, anniversary or thinking of you card.

I started with a Highland Heather card base and added a Basic White panel. I then stamped the leave images with Granny Apple Green ink, followed by Memento Black for the matching detailed stamp, directly to the white panel. On a scrap piece of Basic White I lined up my stamps with the punch (click here for video on that) and stamped the flowers in Highland Heather ink and the again the detailed flowers with Memento Black ink. Punch and arrange flowers as desired.

The greeting is from Something Fancy and is stamped in Memento Black. I first tried stamping the leaves in Garden Green and then Old Olive, but they seemed too dark, so I went for the Granny Apple Green.

Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

My card today features the flowers from Happiness Abounds. I colored them using our watercolor pencils and a blender pen. If you are not familiar with our blender pen, it is an amazing way to blend and smooth the lines of any image that is colored with watercolor pencils. You can even use the blender pen with your ink pads to create a colored marker.

In my sample I used Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive pencils. The greeting is from a new set that will be featured in the May 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I began with a Gorgeous Grape card base and added a panel of Basic White that I embossed using the Metal Plate 3-D embossing folder.

I used some scrap pieces of white to stamp and crop my flowers and leaves and attached them to a 3 x 3 piece of Basic White CS using Stampin’ Dimensionals . The greeting is stamped with Memento Black ink and attached to a 3-1/8 x3-1/8″ square of Gorgeous Grape CS.

I hope this card finds you in good health and inspires you to create something beautiful to share with others. Happy Stamping!

Our card today is super simple with just a little layering and a few three stamps. I am using the Wisteria Wishes set that will be retiring in a few weeks.

I posted a card last year where I used these flowers to create a Christmas winter scene. I will post that card at the end of this post, but for we say good-bye to Wisteria Wishes, so “Hang In There” seems like an appropriate greeting.

The colors I chose for today’s creation, Blackberry Bliss and Shaded Spruce. With just these two deep colors I layered the panels and with just three stamps from the set, this card comes to life. Enjoy creating with this bundle because the dies are beautiful as well.

And now for the winter scene card using the flowers turned upside down.

These flowers take on a whole new look when they are stamped upside down. I used Soft Succulent and Shaded Spruce to create my trees. Happy Stamping!

With so many of our favorites sets retiring, I thought I would share a flower card that I created using the Wildflower Path stamp set. This set will be retiring at the end of the month, but hurry and add it to your cart before supplies are sold out.

I began with a Pool Party card base and stamped the grass on the bottom portion of the front of the card base with Old Olive ink. The Basic White CS measures 3½ x 4¾ and I stamped the grass with Old Olive ink, stamping off for the longer blades. The vines are also stamped with Old Olive ink and the flowers with Polished Pink.

I mounted the Basic White panel on an Old Olive panel that is slightly larger than the white and attached it to the card front. The greeting is stamped with Polished Pink ink.
