Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the Holiday Weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I do have to work all day today, but I’m really hoping to get outside to get some planting done before I go away. I picked up 14 plants so far including all kinds of herbs, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.
I have a sneak peek for you or a stamp set coming in July with the new Online Exclusives. We got to place out preorder on Tuesday, and I felt like a kid at Christmas when mine arrived. I dug right in and the first stamp set I grabbed I decided to make a card with. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
I used the new Stampin’ Up! Inked Floret Stamp Set and the Stampin’ Up! Sending Salutations Stamp Set for my card today. I decided to do it in Black & White with a touch of color.
Stamp the large flower image from the Inked Floret stamp set in tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Color the flower centers using the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush.
Adhere the stamped Basic White panel to a Basic Black card base. Tie a small bow using the Golden Glow 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon and adhere it to the flower stem.
Stamp the sentiment from Sending Salutations stamp set in Versamark Ink on a panel of Basic Black. Sprinkle the sentiment with White Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Cut the sentiment into a banner using the New Detailed Scissors that will be available July 1. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals. Add a few 2026-2028 In-Color Dots to the card front.
Stamp the sentiment from the Sending Salutations stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the flower image from the Inked Floret stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the flower center using the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Golden Glow mat then to the inside of the Basic Black card base.
Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the flower image from the Inked Floret stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front and flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
