Sunday Share - Forever Blossoms Will Make Your Cards Shine!

I hope you are all surviving your winter weather wherever you may be. Here on the West Coast we've gone through some pretty heavy snowfalls the past week and ended up with rain turning everything to a slushy mess starting yesterday. I really think I liked the snow better - it was so pretty and made everything seem brighter!

I'm continuing to showcase the cards we made at the Stampin' Up! conference last fall - this one is so pretty that I used it as the Make and Take for my Open House last weekend and it was super popular with all my attendees! The images are from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set in the new Spring Mini Catalogue.

Have you stamped on your Designer Series Papers lately? It's a great way to get a new and different look for your card fronts and lets you use some of those pretty papers as backgrounds to your stamped images. This large floral image was stamped in Gray Granite Ink for a softer look and then coloured with the light shades of Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. It was a quick and easy way to add some subtle colour to the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper. We backed that piece with a layer of Vellum Cardstock, then popped it onto a Pool Party Cardstock Base. The swirl of Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon was adhered to the back of the greeting with Snail (but Glue Dots work too). The greeting was stamped in Gray Granite Ink and punched with the new Label Me Fancy Punch. The sparkle comes from the Champagne Rhinestone basic Jewels.

Here's another card I did to show how versatile this stamp set is - I stamped, coloured then ran the layer through the Subtles Embossing Folder to give it that linen look. So easy and that's not even taking into account there are coordinating dies to make cutting the images oh-so-easy if you want to do that.  Purchase both the Forever Blossoms stamp set and Cherry Blossom dies as a bundle and save 10% - that's smart shopping!
