In Bloom Bundle

Clean and Simple Stamping In Bloom

2 Comments / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature / February 16, 2021 / In Bloom Bundle

It has been snowing a lot here lately and I love the snow. Yesterday was President’s Day and there was not much traffic on my street, so the snow created a beautiful white blanket over everything. Today it really is quite beautiful and so I was inspired to create this clean and simple card with a few layers of white. It went together very quickly and I only used a handful of supplies.

Congratulations to Mary S! You are the winner of last week’s comment challenge. You will receive a pack of Resin Hearts Embellishments from the JJ2021 catalog. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Begin with a Basic White card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold and burnish to create your card.
Cut another layer of white cardstock that measures 4 x 5 ¼” and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss it with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder.
Next cut 4 panels of white cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle dies.
Stamp the small flower from the In Bloom Bundle in Cherry Cobbler ink on three of the four panels, stamping two flowers on the larger piece. Using Mossy Meadow ink, stamp several stems to attaching them to the two blooms on the larger piece and leaving the others blooms without stems.
Stamp You are amazing in Memento Black ink and layer all white panels to the Dainty Diamond layer. You can use liquid glue or add Stampin’ Dimensionals for a more 3-D look.

2 Comments / Thinking of You / February 11, 2021 / Happy Thoughts, In Bloom Bundle

I may have mentioned a time or two that I love the new designer series paper pack, Flower and Field. It is part of the Sale-A-Bration going this month. Each sheet is filled with flowers that just make you think springtime!

Today’s card features this paper and the new Happy Thoughts stamp set.

Begin with a Basic Black card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, (aka along the 8½” side) score at 4 ¼”. Fold in half to create your card base.
Cut one 2 x 5 ½” strips of Flower and Field Designer series paper and attach to the left side of the card base.
Next cut two coordinating rectangles from the Stitched so Sweetly Dies, the larger one is cut using Bumblebee cardstock and the smaller one with Basic White.
Stamp the Thinking of you greeting or greeting of your choice on the Basic White piece and layer together.
Use the Stampin Cut and Emboss machine and the In Bloom Pierced dies to crop a small flower from Bumblebee cardstock and attach to the greeting.
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, attach the greeting rectangles to the front of the card base as shown in the image above.

For the inside, cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and attach to the inside panel.
Stamp the greeting from Berry Blessings in Memento Black ink.
Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to crop three more small flowers from Bumblebee cardstock and glue to the white panel near the greeting as shown. Use a Black Stampin’ Write marker to create the inside of the flowers.

In Bloom Birthday Celebration!

1 Comment / Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Happy Birthday / February 9, 2021 / In Bloom Bundle

I just love the stitched flowers in the In Bloom Bundle. And yes, I know I probably have a ton of flower stamps and really didn’t need another one, but I could not resist these stitched dies.

I do love flowers, but since I do not have a green thumb, I decided this bundle was worth it because the flowers will live forever!

Begin with a Basic White card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼”.
Randomly stamp flower, big and small all over the front, use some leaves and some accent dots to create a designer series paper look. I used Rococo Rose, Pretty Peacock and Mossy Meadow.
Cut a 3 ¼ x 5” piece of Basic White cardstock and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to dry emboss it with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. I used the one with the butterflies.
Use the flower and leaf dies from the In Bloom Bundle to cut a flower out of Pretty Peacock and Rococo Rose cardstock. The leaves are cut using Mossy Meadow cardstock.
Layer a big and little flower w/leaves to the top left of the embossed white cardstock.
Stamp the Happy Birthday greeting from Sweet Strawberry in Pretty Peacock ink on some Basic white cardstock and then cut it out using the frame die in the bundle.
Add a small Rococo Rose flower and a few leaves to the corner of the greeting and pop it up on the cardstock with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Isn’t amazing that just stamping these flowers creates a beautiful designer series paper look. I am sure there are a plethora of other stamps in my collection that will create this same effect. Sometimes the simplest things make a card beautiful.

I encourage you to be creative with your stamp collection and create your own designer series paper. Don’t forget if you want to add the In Bloom Bundle to your stamping toys, you still have time this month to earn FREE Sale-a-Bration sets!
