5 Ways To Use The Blossom Punch!

By | 07/20/2013

By the end of this post, you will realize why you need the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Blossom Punch!  I spent about an hour yesterday playing with just a few techniques for using the Blossom Punch in different ways.  I feel like I’m just showing you the tip of the iceberg here.  I haven’t played with pearls, glitter, embossing powder, paper piercing, scoring, background stamps…the list goes on!  I wanted to share a few fun ways you can get even more out of your punches!!!  You know that I love when my punches can work even harder for me!

I created the same basic card each time.  I used Coastal Cabana ink and card stock (cut at 4-1/4 x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″), along with Whisper White (cut at 4 x 5-1/4″).  I stamped an image from the Mixed Blossom stamp set 4 times on each piece of Whisper White card stock.  I stamped the Happy Day sentiment from the Happy Day stamp set in Early Espresso on each one as well.  My final touch was to add a piece of the Whisper White Organza Ribbon to the bottom of each.

Here is the basic card:

Blossom Technique 1:  For this card, I stamped the tulip image from the Bright Blossom set in Bermuda Bay on each petal of the blossom and added a Vintage Designer Button to the center.

Blossom Technique 2:  I did use just the blossom punch with a stamped center cut with the 1″ circle punch.  I curled the petals up slightly as well.

Blossom Technique 3: After punching the blossom, I ran it through my perfect polka dots embossing folder.  (This is my favorite technique!)

Blossom Technique 4:  For this card, I punched the ends of each petal with my Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.  I also added the Vintage Designer Button to the center.

Blossom Technique 5:  For my final technique, I stamped and punched a blossom from the Flower Shop set using the Pansy Punch.  I layered them with a Stampin’ Dimensional and added a Neutral Glimmer Brad to the center.

My favorite is the embossed blossom.  I think the En Francais background stamp would look amazing too!!!  I keep thinking of more things I’d like to try!

    Those are some cute ideas. I like the last one, with the flower on top of the Blossom Punch.
