Hauntingly Beautiful Flowering Blooms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

  • Flowering Blooms Stamp Set
  • August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (aka Holiday Catalog) is live!
  • Only Days remain to order August 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Stampin' Up! Flowering Blooms Stamp Set 


One of the most beautiful flowers sets in the annual Stampin' Up! catalog is the Flowering Blooms Stamp Set. I needed several Thank You cards, and I'm so pleased with how quickly these cards went together and how hauntingly lovely they turned out.  The Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder added a charming texture to the background and the Purple Pose and Highland Heather colors were a pleasing compliment.    



The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a Purple Pose layer dry embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder.  Then the image layer is matted in Highland Heather, and the image is stamped in Tuxedo Black on a Whisper White panel.     



The Flowering Blooms image was colored with Light Purple Posy Stampin' Blends and the leaves were colored with Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  The sentiment, also from the Flowering Blooms Stamp Set, was stamped in Old Olive Ink.  





I used the Light Purple Posy Stampin' Blends to color the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon before adding a bow of ribbon to the card front.  To add a little bling to the card front, I scattered 3 clear Elegant Faceted Gems  on the card front.  Change the sentiment on this card, and it would work for Thinking of You, Sympathy, or Just Saying Hello.  


    





This set includes a  set of coordinating dies, called  Flowering Dies, but you'll be able to create beautiful cards if you only purchase the stamp set.  You'll see more samples on page 70 of the annual Stampin' Up! Catalog.  Or purchase the  Flowering Blooms Bundle at a 10% savings.   Add this stamp set and coordinating dies to your Shopping List today.

If you live in the USA and don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or a copy of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, contact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

  • August-December 2020 Mini Catalog Walk Through
  • See close ups of items you probably missed from the new Mini Catalog

Stampin' Up! August-December 2020 Mini Catalog walk through



Earlier today the new 2020 August-September Mini Catalog launched. Customers can begin placing orders today.  Demonstrators have been using these new products and myself and other demonstrators have posed a number of sneak peeks of these new products.  


This afternoon, Sara Douglas, the CEO of Stampin' Up! did a new catalog walk-through to show us some of the items that the catalog just doesn't do justice.  I was so surprised to see everything I'd missed in the catalog.


Here's a Facebook playback of her catalog walk through. Use this link if your browser doesn't display the Facebook image. Enjoy!







If you missed my Post on the catalog going live and how to use the new Stampin' Up! online store, here's a link to my earlier post.
