Flowing Flowers Blue & Yellow Card

Flowing Flowers Blue & Yellow Card

I wanted to use the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set a little bit more before it retires in a few weeks. Well, maybe in only about two weeks and a few days! This pretty floral stamp set is in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog which is retiring on June 30. It is one of Stampin’ Up!’s Distinktive designs, which means that with just stamping one time, you get a special texture that makes for a photo-realistic image. No need for two- or three-step stamping.

When I chose the new In Color Starry Sky to be the card base, I thought I would like yellow for the flowers. I stamped the flowers in Daffodil Delight ink on Basic White cardstock. I wanted to keep this a very simple card so I just stamped the whole flower and leaves in Daffodil Delight ink. If I were to do it again, I would use different colors for the flowers and color the leaves green.

For something different, I made the Basic White piece shorter and layered it on a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. The greeting is a fun one and is in the stamp set. I stamped it on a scrap of Basic White in Starry Night ink and die cut it. I used the banner die in the new Stylish Shapes Dies set in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I thought I wanted some Daffodil Delight as a layer behind the greeting but there’s not really a die that layers well with this banner. So I used the same die to cut a piece of Daffodil Delight and then I cut it in half horizontally and layered it just under the top and bottom of the banner piece. It fits like that just perfectly.

For some sparkle and embellishment, I added some Elegant Faceted Gems on the top portion of the card in and around the flowers. I used the clear gems out of the three colors in the package. These gems are in the new Annual Catalog so you may already have some from the previous catalog.

On the inside of the card, I added a Basic White layer since the card base is too dark to stamp or write a message. I also stamped the small grouping of flowers in the lower corner of the Basic White for a little interest when the person opens the card. It’s usually good if you can add a piece of designer paper or stamp a little something inside the card!

This Flowing Flowers Stamp Set holds lots of creative possibilities with the pretty flower images! Here’s another card I made earlier that shows how you can use multiple colors on one flower stamp which makes it different than these all-yellow flowers. Be sure you check out this stamp set before it retires on June 30.

Flowing Flowers Trio Birthday Card

Flowing Flowers Trio Birthday Card

Sometimes you don’t know exactly where you are going with a card idea, or what you thought of doesn’t work out very well, yet in the end, something works out and you come up with a card you are happy with like this Flowing Flowers Trio Birthday Card!

The card base, which is difficult to see in the photo is Petal Pink with a layer of Melon Mambo, and then Basic White for the card front and flowers. The Flowing Flowers Stamp set is a beautiful one! This is a Distinktive** stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. **Patent pending. In other words, the stamp does all the work and will stamp surprisingly beautiful! If you look at it after inking it, it will look like you missed some areas. You can stamp on scrap paper just to make sure and then reink it for your card or project. Some areas will be darker, some lighter, and some blank. It’s a surprise when you stamp it and see how pretty the image is!

For this card, I stamped several Flowing Flowers but ended up using just three of them. One is Highland Heather, one is Melon Mambo, and one is Mango Melody. I stamped them and then cut them out with Paper Snips. If I had known for sure how the card would come together, I could have stamped the two flowers on the ends straight onto the card front and then added the separate middle flower. But I didn’t know that at first! The flowers may look complicated to cut out but you don’t need to cut right on the lines and in some spaces, there aren’t any lines so just cut it out free and easy! I usually like to leave a tiny margin of white around the stamped image anyway so you don’t have to be precise.

The middle flower is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the other two adhered right on to the cardstock. There are no leaf stamps in the stamp set, so I just used the Sprig Punch to quickly punch out a bunch of leafy sprigs. I used three different green cardstock – Granny Apple Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Soft Sea Foam. I just tried to scatter them around tucking them underneath the flower edges.

There wasn’t much room for a greeting, but I stamped the “Happy Birthday” on Basic White and die cut it with one of the Tailor Made Tags. It seemed to fit best tucked in the upper right corner, just barely tucked under the Melon Mambo flower. It also has a piece of the Petal Pink 1/8″ Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack.

For some sparkle and glimmer, I colored over all three flowers with Clear Wink of Stella and also added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels.

Check out the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set. There are no dies, so you can just buy the stamp set and not worry about spending extra money on the dies! With that Distinktive style, you will stamp beautiful flowers on your cards and projects. Here is another card I made recently with the other major flower stamp in the set.

Flowing Flowers Just a Little Hi Card

Flowing Flowers Just a Little Hi Card

One of the stamp sets I ordered a while back from the Spring Mini Catalog was the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set. Here is the first card I finally got around to making with it, the Flowing Flowers Just a Little Hi Card! I thought the flowers were pretty and I liked the sentiments. This is one of the Stampin’ Up! Distinktive stamp sets that have a lot of texture right in the stamp. One of these stamps really does a lot of work for you! There is a single larger flower but I kind of liked this smaller flower with leaves.

One of my favorite papers, besides Real Red, is the Shimmery White cardstock. I thought its slight glimmer might be just right with this softer flower. This paper is great for stamping, of course, and also watercoloring since it can handle the moisture a bit better than Basic White.

To stamp this flower, I used my Stampin’ Write Markers (sometimes they feel neglected because I use the Stampin’ Blends markers so often!). I colored on the flower with Mango Melody, then Melon Mambo over most but not the top edges. The little dots are Gorgeous Grape and the leaves Granny Apple Green. Don’t forget to “huff” on your stamp – that means breathe on it – to remoisten the ink since it takes a bit of time to color on all parts of the stamp with different colors. I like the way the two colors on the flower blended and still show both.

This stamped flower is die-cut with the third-largest scalloped rectangle die in the Scalloped Contours Dies. I love this die with the scalloped edges and stitched look. Before adhering to the card, I stamped the greeting right in the corner of that die-cut piece. I used one of the many greetings in the Special Moments Stamp Set which is a Sale-A-Bration stamp set that you can earn FREE with a $100 purchase TODAY ONLY! TODAY is the last day of Sale-A-Bration. This is a great stamp set with all kinds of sentiments. I almost overlooked it, actually, in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I’m glad I was able to get it. The greeting is stamped in Melon Mambo ink.

The card base is Polished Pink, one of the 2021-23 In Colors. It needed a layer so I chose a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and cut it a little smaller to show off more of the Polished Pink. I embossed it with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. Since I wanted to add some Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon, I moved the stamped piece over to the left side a little bit so there was room for a bow on the right side. For a finishing touch, I placed three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the flower for a little sparkle!
