One of the beautiful new stamp sets in the Occasions Catalog is Bloomin’ Love, and with the little banner and words in the set, you can make a Bloomin’ Love Card for a friend or for someone you love. This card is so simple yet turned out very pretty. I don’t have any of the new paper yet in the catalog so I made my own background with one of the stamps in the set by stamping randomly with Blushing Bride ink on Whisper White. The card base is 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, Blushing Bride, folded in half, just for something different than the usual size. The heart is stamped and just cut out with Paper Snips, my favorite scissors for trimming small images. The banner and the word “Friend” comes in the stamp set and adds a nice dimension to the card. I just popped the banner up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back.
The card still needed a little pizzazz and I achieved that with the new Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. I hadn’t tried it yet over the holidays, but wow! It is addictive! So easy to use and so pretty! It dries really fast and adds sparkle while being completely flat. No feeling of glitter or anything. The brush tip is fine so you can add small amounts or outline images easily. I love it already! It also comes in Gold. And I couldn’t resist adding some little Rhinestone Jewels to the banner!
I think this stamp set is going to be one of the most popular sets in the Occasions Catalog! It can be for valentines, but hearts, like stars, can be for lots of occasions and projects.
