The Stampin’ Pals group I belong to got some great blending tips from fellow Pal Stesha Bloodhart on our monthly Pals Facebook Live. So I decided to do some practicing on a new stamp set called Words of Cheer. In my set of three cards, each is treated a little differently as far as colors and layout. It was so fun to get my Stampin’ Blends out and just enjoy the act of coloring and shading with our beautiful stamps. Here’s my first card:

I used a base of Basic White cardstock, and then cut a panel from the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ to cover the front panel. I used another strip from the same DSP cut at 2″ X 5 1/2″ and adhered it to the front as well. I then stamped a flower bouquet from the Words of Cheer stamp set, and used the Stampin’ Blends listed below to color in my bouquet. I love the Stampin’ Blends for their endless possibilities. So fun to use!
I used the Red Rhinestone Jewels to create a little bling accent, and I popped the white panel onto the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. So easy and fun! I hope you enjoyed my first version of the Words of Cheer Stamp Set. Click below at the bottom of this post to start shopping with the products I used.
Check back tomorrow to see my second version of a card using my Blends and the Words of Cheer Stamp Set!
