Yesterday, I introduced the Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set to you as one of my all-time favorites. Here’s another project I created using the Calming Camellia stamp set with Flirty Flamingo and Grey Granite:

The Calming Camellia Host stamp set has two larger stamps that create a beautiful effect. Every time I see someone use it, they have the same reaction I did – oohs and aaaahs accompany the placement of ink on paper. Here’s the set. Notice I used the ‘leafy’ die this time, instead of the large flower stamp:

The Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set is another staple for your cardmaking stamp collection! The blurred lines of the artwork have a soft elegance, which makes this stamp set perfect for creating cards to send to your loved ones of all ages. The range of sentiments paired with a timeless font are highly versatile. And ooooh so pretty!

I used a Basic White card base, and then a panel of Flirty Flamingo just 1/8″ smaller at 5 3/8″ by 4 1/8″. Then I took a panel of Grey Granite, embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing Folder, measured at 5 1/4″ by 4″. I then used a panel of Basic White cardstock to crop out a die from the Scalloped Contours dies, and stamped a pretty sentiment in Gray Granite, and the around it, stamped the leaf pattern pattern in Flirty Flamingo ink. I flipped the white panel over, put some tape adhesive down, and then arranged some white baker’s twin so it would loop off both sides. I popped it up using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and then a couple of Iridescent Jewels to finish the card!

The fact that this is a HOST Stamp Set means you can get this stamp set with a $300 purchase. Don’t despair — there are many ways to achieve this! 1. Go together with a friend and make an online order with Stampin’ Up! You can share the free Sale-A-Bration products also — NOW is the best time to get this set! 2. Host an online party. You don’t even have to clean your house! haha! I can help you set up a Facebook party or workshop, and YOU, as the hostess, would get all the rewards, including a chance to get this beautiful set! 3.

It’s so worth it to make one big order now! Let me know how I can help.

There is a stamp set from the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog that could arguably be the loveliest set I’ve seen, and it will surely become a collector’s item. Here’s project I created using the Calming Camellia stamp set with Flirty Flamingo and Grey Granite:

The Calming Camellia Host stamp set has two larger stamps that create a beautiful effect. Every time I see someone use it, they have the same reaction I did – oohs and aaaahs accompany the placement of ink on paper. Here’s the set:

The Calming Camellia Host Stamp Set is another staple for your cardmaking stamp collection! The blurred lines of the artwork have a soft elegance, which makes this stamp set perfect for creating cards to send to your loved ones of all ages. The range of sentiments paired with a timeless font are highly versatile. Simply stamp the beautiful camellia image in a single color for a subtle touch or make an impact by stamping the image in black and adding your own color story to it. 

I used a Basic White card base, and then a panel of Grey Granite, embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing Folder, measured at 5 1/4″ by 4″. I then used a panel of Basic White cardstock to crop out a die from the Scalloped Contours dies, and stamped a large camellia pattern in Flirty Flamingo ink. I also stamped a sentiment from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set onto a scrap of white with Grey Granite, and cut that out with a smaller die. From there, it was easy to assemble, adhere, and then pop a couple of Iridescent Jewels to finish the card!

The fact that this is a HOST Stamp Set means you can get this stamp set with a $300 purchase. Don’t despair — there are many ways to achieve this! 1.

I know. I must move on from all these tulips! I’ve been featuring the Flowering Tulips bundle all week, and yes, this is my last card, at least for awhile. But they’ll be back for Easter, I guarantee it!

This card used a special card base from the Abstract Beauty Cards and Envelopes, which is a set of beautiful cards with watercolor backgrounds and coordinating envelopes. So easy to grab one and get started with you card. Here they are:

My first job was to create some tulips, which I did, using the Tulips dies with Pale Papaya paper. I cut out the petals needs for all three sizes of tulips. I also cut out some leaves using Old Olive cardstock and the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. The assembly of the tulips is quite easy, once you get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial online, and really enjoyed putting the three different-sized tulips together. I took a sponge dauber and some Poppy Parade ink, and lightly sponged the ends of the petals of the Pale Papaya flowers. I like the effect it made, giving them more dimension and a tough of color! Take a look at this brief video by Stampin’ Up! that explains how to put them together. Click here: https://fb.watch/aQrdJas1la/

I then stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set with Poppy Parade ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock. I cut it out using one of the circle dies from the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I popped the sentiment up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished with some red embellishments and a double bow from some red baker’s twine that I had in my stash, and I was done! Such fun!

Take a look at this fun video to give you an even better overview of the beautiful Flowering Fields Suite!

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Give the tulips a try — you’ll use them over and over again! Click on any products below to shop with me!

Hello, friends — My focus on the beautiful products in the Flowering Fields Suite continues today with the stamp set Flowering Tulips.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″. The next panel of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper was cut at 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″. The panel of Whisper White was cut from one of the Scalloped Contours Dies. I then did some stamping using the beautiful Flowering Tulips two-step stamps.

I used Rich Razzleberry ink to stamp the two-step stamps. The first in full color, and then the second overlaying stamp in a stamped-off fashion. That way, the color looks lighter, but is in the same tones. I stamped the leaves in Garden Green. Take a look at these beautiful images and sentiments:

Finally, I added some white baker’s twine and Highland Heather baker’s twine from a Paper Pumpkin kit, tied together. Then I popped the Contour Die panel onto the card. I then added some Iridescent Jewels to add a little bling, and I was done!

Take a look at this fun video to give you an even better overview of the beautiful Flowering Fields Suite!

I just love the Rich Razzleberry tones!

Hello, Stampers! It’s a sunny day here in northern Minnesota. Even though it’s cold outside, the sun through the windows brings some heat. Spring is aaaalllllllmost around the corner. This week, I continue to share cards made with the Flowering Tulips bundle.

First, I cut a card base from Basic White cardstock. I then cut a panel Basic Black cardstock at 5 1/4″ x 4″ from one of the DSP papers. I cut another panel from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (found as a host set in the annual catalog) to 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8.” The next layer was in Basic White cardstock, cropped from the Scalloped Contours dies on which I then began to build my tulip bouquet.

I used the Simply Marbleous Designer Series Papers from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. The papers are so fun, and come in 6 x 6″ sheets. I cut out the pieces to make three tulips, and also some leaves and stems from Old Olive cardstock.

The assembly of the tulips is quite easy, once you get the hang of it. I watched a tutorial online, and really enjoyed putting the three different-sized tulips together. Take a look at this brief video by Sandy McCullough, who explains it so well!

I then stamped a sentiment from the Flowering Tulips stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a scrap of white paper and used another die from the Scalloped Contours die to cut it out. I popped it up on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I finished with some Iridescent Jewels, and I was done! Such fun!
