Alluring Sunflower cards using the Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set

    

  • Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set
  • Final 3 Days to order August Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit
  • Last month to earn FREE Sale-A-Bration Selections - Ends 31 August 2022
Oh my gosh!  I've forgotten how much I love the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!.  I happened to pull it out today, and as I die cut and colored it, it turned into the most alluring sunflower!  Usually when I stamp images I'm planning to color with Blends, I stamp the outline with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, but today I tried stamping the Sunflower in Cajun Craze.  Then I carefully colored it with Daffodil Delight Blends.  Cajun Craze is a water-based ink and unless you carefully color the inside of the petals, your Blends alcohol-markers can smear the water-based ink outline.  I loved how the colors of this sunflower turned out!.  I used Old Olive ink on the leaves.  I used Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive layers with Basic White layers.  One of the layers of Basic White is dry embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. For added interest, I used a small piece of one of the prints from the Host Design a Daydream 12 X 12" Designer Series Paper Pack. As we move into Fall, I'm so happy to use the warm, rich colors that make me feel cozy and comfortable.  You'll love sending a card like this to someone who would enjoy hearing from you. Order the Celebrating Sunflower Stamp Set today along with the coordinating dies and you'll be ready to celebrate friendships with heartfelt cards and the stunning sunflower images.  Item 152517 | $24 USD.   Add the Sunflowers Dies for custom die-cut sunflowers elements and accents.  Item 152704 | $33.00 USD. 
 
Sunflower greeting card using Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set


This card uses a basecard of PEAR Pizzazz.  Then a layer of Basic white dry embossed using the Painter Texture #D embossing folder, matted in Old Olive.  Then I used another, smaller piece of Basic White as my image layer, also matted in Old Olive.  I used a tiny print from the Design a Daydream Host 12 X 12' Paper Pack for a bit of added interest.  

Sunflower-themed greeting card with a stunning sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflower Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!



Then, I stamped the largest Sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set in Cajun Craze ink, and colored it with light and dark Daffodil Delight Blends.  I die cut it using the coordinating Sunflowers Dies.   I also stamped three leaves using the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and colored these with Old Olive Blends.  I used the coordinating Dies to die cut them.  I added the leaves behind the sunflower image, which I popped up on Dimensionals before adding it to the front of my card. 



Two Sunflower greeting cards created using Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!


I stamped two different sentiments in Tuxedo Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and then fussy cut them before adding them to my card.  For a little sparkle, I added a couple of Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
