I’ve been hoarding my Stampin’ Up! Stippled Blossom Stamp Set. Why? Well, I keep seeing so many beautiful cards on Pinterest made with this amazing stamp set. It was like idea overload!! I decided to pull it off my shelf and get going! What am I waiting for? I have all the inspiration and ideas I need.
Keep in mind that I have been challenging my card designs all week to only use three pieces of card stock. The background is Whisper White cut at 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2″. I used a corner rounder on the bottom edges of the front and the back of the card. I love that little touch lately.
I punched a Read Red label using my Decorative Label Punch (#120907). This was punched from the middle of the red piece and then covered with the white mat! The Real Red mat is cut at 2-3/4 x 4-1/4″, while the Whisper White mat is cut at 2-1/4 x4″.
I used the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder (#127751) to emboss only the bottom of the card. You can see that I stamped the flowers on the Whisper White mat. I stamped the solid background images from Stippled Blossoms (#126747) in Regal Rose and the stippled top images in Melon Mambo. I added some Old Olive leaves using just the solid leaf stamp from the same set. I didn’t try to line it up perfectly. I love the slightly off look! (Sorry to all the perfectionists out there!)
I finished the card off using one of the scraps that I had from the original cutting of my card stock. I punched part of the decorative label from one of the left over strips and used the Thank You sentiment from my Lacy and Lovely stamp set (#122887). You can see that I tucked it under the mats and added 3 rhinestones for some bling!
I love this card! I can’t believe the variety I have in the cards that I’ve made this week, all starting with the same 3 basic pieces of paper!!! You have got to try this!
