Creating cards with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers


Today I'm using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set again.  I'm really surprised at how much I love this stamp set.  Stampin' Up! has had a number of sunflower stamp sets over the years, but this one captured my heart like no other Sunflower stamp set has before.  This is such a simple card, but I love how it turned out.  I saw this technique on one of Linda Delke's cards, and watched a video she posted on how to create this look.  It was easier than I though it would be!   I added a couple of Whisper White butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty Dies to dress up the card a bit.  I love Stamping' up bundles!  The Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set coordinates with the Sunflowers Dies.  This is one of the two bundles that are part of the Flowers for Every Season Suite.  Bundles help me create fantastic projects with less effort. And a product suites provides an array of coordinated products that work together for easy creating. .          




The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Misty Moonlight Cardstock, one of the new In Colors.   The images from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set were stamped on the Misty Moonlight Cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink. 
   



The technique for highlighting the sunflower petals with white is done by painting the petals lightly with Craft Whisper White ink applied using a Blender Pen.  I found that spreading the ink onto a clear block first allowed me to control ink coverage better.  One other tip I'll pass on to you:  The Whisper White ink fades as it dries  I thought I was adding the Whisper White Ink too heavily when I was painting the petals, however, looking at my finished card, I wish I had added more Craft Whisper White.  I'll know next time I try this technique.

For the sentiment, I used the stitched rectangle from the Ornate Layers Dies and cut a label out of Whisper White.  Each of the sentiments are also from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, and the sentiments are stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink.  I found these two butterflies near my die cutting machine and decided to use them as quick accents on these cards.  They are created by cutting apart a couple of the Butterfly Beauty Die Cuts.  I also added one of the Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots to each of the sentiments.   You'll want to look closely at the entire Flowers For Every Season Suite Collection on pages 10-13 of the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  You'll love creating projects with this suite, and your friends and family will enjoy feeling special when they receive one of your lovely, handmade cards.  Add this suite to your Shopping List today.

A Fancy-Fold Jar of Flowers Card

  • Jar of Flowers Stamp Set
  • Flowers for Every Season Suite
  • Paper Pumpkin Kit for August Celebrates Everyday Heroes

Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers Stamp Set


Today, I'm showing another swap card I received.  It uses the Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers Stamp Set and features a fun fold.  Today's card is from @Luly Gonzales.  This card uses one of the new In Colors, Cinnamon Spice, and one of the new 6" X 6" 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper Prints.   The Jar of Flowers Stamp Set is part of the Flowers For Every Season Suite.  The base card dimensions are listed below along with a view of the inside of the card.        




The basecard for this card is Cinnamon Cider, one of the new In Colors for 2020-2022.  Then a layer of one of the Bumble Bee prints from the 2020-2022 6 X 6" In Color Designer Series Papers.  There is another layer of Cinnamon Cider and one of the wood grain print from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.        
   



The jar and the flowers are separate images from the Jar of Flower Stamp Set, and are stamped on a Very Vanilla panel in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Then the image is colored with Blends, and a Linen Thread bow is added as an accent. Below is the card opened against an 8-1/2 X 11" background so you can see how the fancy fold is created, as well as getting a look at the inside of this cute card.  The sentiment is from the Best Year Stamp Set and is stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink on a Very Vanilla panel.
