  • Stampin' Up! Back To Back Blooms
  • Sale-A-Bration Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper
  • Coming 2 February 2021:  Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles

Here's a fun stamp set to use for creating subtle, yet lovely greeting cards  It's a new set from the Stampin' Up! January-June 2021 Mini Catalog called Back to Back Blooms.  Here I've paired it with Rococo Rose Cardstock and the Rococo Rose print from the Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.  free Sale-a-Bration Selection with a $50 order (less tax and shipping).    Then add a sentiment die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, and a bow made of White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and your card is finished in a few quick steps.  
 


Rococo Rose Birthday Card using Back To Back Bloom Stamp Set


The card above uses a basecard of Rococo Rose Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White, and the image layer is on a Rococo Rose print from the Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper Pack.  

 
Handmade Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Back To Back Blooms Stamp Set


The flower and leaves images from the Back to Back Blooms Stamp Set were stamped in Rococo Rose ink directly on to the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper.  Then one of the flowers was stamped on Vellum Cardstock in Rococo Rose Ink, and fussy cut before adding it to the front of the card.

The sentiment for this card is from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.  I die cut a sentiment label out of Basic White using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, then stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  The sentiment is popped up on Dimensionals, and a Clear Epoxy droplet adorns the upper left corner of the sentiment label.  To finish the soft look of this card I created a Bow out of the Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, looping it around three time to create a fluffier, fuller bow.  This is a great card for so many occasions.  Simply change the sentiment and you'll find this card is appropriate as a Thank You, Thinking of You, and Congratulations...many of these sentiments are part of the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

Darling Donkeys Stamp Set for all-occasions card making

                           

  • Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Stamp Set
  • Darling Donkeys, a Free Sale-A-Bration Selection
  • In Bloom Bundle explained by Sara Douglas, Stampin Up! CEO

I can't get enough of this cute set, one of the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration selections, called Darling Donkeys.  I paired it with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, the  Stitched Nested Labels Dies and the Be Mine Stitched Dies.  One of the prints from the In Good Taste Designer series Paper adds a layer of interest.   The sentiment is also from the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set, however, change it to a another sentiment and this could easily become a Valentine card.   These cute donkeys are great on birthday cards, on thinking-of-you cards, or for any occasions.  
 

Card idea with hearts and donkeys using Darling Donkeys Stamp Set



The card above uses a basecard of Smoky Slate.  Then a layer of Whisper White (Basic White), and another layer of Smoky Slate dry embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I added a die cuts of Whisper White and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies.     

 
Handmade friendship card with hearts and Darling Donkeys Stamp Set



The heart images are cut using the Be Mine Stitched Dies.  The two largest hearts are cut from Misty Moonlight Cardstock, and the smallest heart is die cut from a print from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.  The donkey image from Darling Donkeys was stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then fussy cut before coloring with the Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends.  It is popped up on Dimensionals.  (He's sooo cute).   Three Misty Moonlight enamel dots were scattered around the image layer.

This is such a cute card!  you'll want to create several, like I did,  to have on hand to use to say "hi" to a friend, or to change up the sentiment and use as Birthday Cards or Welcome Baby, or for so many other reasons.  You can easily change the colors to more feminine colors for a baby girl or for a child's birthday.  This is one of the stamp sets you'll want to keep as a staple in your stamp collection!
