Uniquely Artistic Flowers

I love flowers, so I figured my first blog should be a card with flowers. These flowers remind me of the hibiscus flowers I grow in a big pot by the pool. I can see them from my kitchen window. And if you search for "Rose of Sharon flowers", you will find flowers that look very much like the flowers on this card (just in different colors).

Stamp Sets: Uniquely Artistic & Nature's Harvest

Start with Basic White card stock (5 1/4" x 4"). Use Memento Black Ink to stamp the leaves in the four corners with the stem in the center of the paper. Mask the center with a Post-it® Note or Stampin' Up!'s Masking Paper. Stamp two more leaf branches on the top and bottom and one on the right and left sides. Use Stampin' Blends to color the leaves (Parakeet Party) and the background (Tranquil Tide).

Stamp the flowers in Memento Black Ink on Basic White card stock. Color the flowers with Stampin' Blends (Sweet Sorbet and Daffodil Delight). Fussy cut the flowers right along the edge of the black outline. Adhere one flower with Mini Glue Dots and the other two with Dimensionals to the center of the card to hide the "mess" of all the leaf branch stems meeting in the middle.

Glue the leaf/flower paper to Tranquil Tide card stock (8 1/2" x 5 1/2", then folded in half). Add Iridescent Rhinestones as desired. Add your favorite sentiment. On this card I stamped Thank You in Starry Sky Ink on Basic White card stock and die cut it with Harvest Dies.

Spring Hues of Happiness

Spring Hues of Happiness Sorry it's been a while since I posted a card idea. This spring has just been crazy busy. I had this card made 2 months ago but am just now writing about it. Unfortunately the designer paper is now retired, but maybe you already have some or can use something similar. This is a really easy card to make. The card base is Daffodil Delight card stock (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" then folded in half). On the left side is a strip of Hues of Happiness DSP (2 3/8" x 4 3/4"). The Basic White card stock (2 3/8" x 3 3/4") was embossed with the Meadow Moments embossing folder , but any embossing folder can be used. The big flowers and extra leaves were cut from a different sheet in the Hues of Happiness DSP. The top flower was glued straight to the embossed white paper and the bottom two flowers were adhered with Dimensionals . The words were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a small strip of Daffodil Delight card stock . A smaller banner w...

Floating Poinsettias

Ever wonder what to do with your "scraps" of designer series paper? Turn it into something beautiful like this poinsettia card. It's a little time-consuming to make because of all the fussy cutting, but I love this card! Floating Poinsettias One of the poinsettia papers in the Boughs of Holly DSP has a bunch of partial poinsettias along all the edges. I fussy cut all of them and then arranged them along the edges of the white paper.  I recommend stamping the words first. For this card I used the Real Red ink pad to stamp the words and used Real Red card stock as the base. After stamping the words, lay your cut pieces along the edges of the Basic White card stock piece (5 1/4" x 4). For some of them you might need to trim them further, or for others you might need to add a little something from another flower or leaves to fill in some of the white space. If you want your poinsettias to "float", put Dimensionals on the back of the flowers and leaves to g...
