Birthday card idea using Stampin' Up! Flowing Flowers Stamp Set

                                           

  • Stampin' Up! Flowing Flowers Stamp Set
  • Last Chance Sale of Retiring Products Continues
  • New Beginnings Paper Pumpkin Kit Orderable Until 10 April 2022
I made a simple, but elegant Birthday Card today using the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set, a beautiful stamp set from the 2022 January - June Mini Catalog.  This set is so easy to work with.  ALthough the flower is beautiful alone, I stamped each flower twice and cut out the full flower and also the inner portion of the flower.  I layered the two pieces of the flower together to give it more dimension on my card front.  I added die cut leaves from the Artistically Inked stamp set and Artistic dies, which coordinate with Artistically Inked Stamp Set.  The flowers were stamped in Misty Moonlight, one of the In Colors retiring 3 May 2021.  I'm sad to see it go.  The Flowing Flowers set includes several beautiful sentiments in addition to the Happy Birthday, I embossed in white on Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  I cased this card from Connie Collins from Constantlystamping.com.  She created this card as part of the Global Design Project.

Handmade Birthday Card using floral images from the Stampin' Up! Flowing Flowers Stamp Set

To create today's card, I used a base card of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut another piece of Basic White Cardstock to use as my image layer.

I stamped the largest flower image from Flowing Flowers four times in Misty Moonlight ink.  I fussy cut two of the flowers-stamped.  Then I cut two of the inner layers of the flower and popped them up on Dimensional.  I layered a larger flower with the inner flower before adding them to my card front.   

I also stamped the double leaf from the Artistically Inked Stamp set on Basic White Cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink and die cut it with dies from the Artistic Dies.  I used another die fom Artistic Dies to cute several open white leaves.  I layed the Misty Moonlight leaves and the Basic White leaves under each flower.

I finished the card by creating a sentiment layer of Misty Moonlight die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Then I selected the Happy Birthday sentiment from Flowing Flowers and heat embossed it onto the Misty Moonlight die cut using White Embossing Powder.  I added a few Iredescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to complete my card.

Last Chance Sale Continues for 2021-2022 Annual Catalog Items 

One month from now, the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog will be released.  Check the Stampin' Up! OnLine Store for the Last Chance Products 2021-2022 Annual Catalog Sale.   Some items at deep discounts;  up to 50% off! 





Retiring List (with discounts) - See which products are on their way out once the Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog Retires 2 May 2022.  These lists were published March 23 and some items have already sold out.  Used the Shop Retiring Products Online link, below, for all currently available items.

How to get the most from the Retiring Lists

 

Know what's retiring:  I like to mark my current catalog with items I currently own, then I mark items that will retire.  Then I look through the Last Chance List for favorites I still want to order before they retire.  Retiring In Color Ink refills and Retiring In Color Cardstock tend to sell out right away.  Save now on the In Color Blends Markers in Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight, which are on the Retiring Products List

Carry Over Bundles:  Once my catalog is marked with retiring items, I decide if one of my favorite bundles is on the retiring list.  The bundle may retire, but the individual pieces may carry over to the next catalog.  Check the asterix on the Retiring List to identify those bundles that will no longer be sold at the 10% bundle savings.  These bundles will carry over as individual pieces in the new catalog.  While they will carry over, they will no longer be sold at the 10% bundle savings, which is generally reserved for new bundles.   The bundle savings of 10% over the cost of purchasing each piece separately from the new annual catalog makes it worthwhile to purchase now, before the new catalog launches, if its on your Wish List.

Carry Over Products - After you've marked your catalog with retiring products, it is easier to see which products will still be available (will carry over) after the current Annual Catalog Retires.  Since one of the unique points about Stampin' Up! is that our products coordinate between all current catalogs, you'll enjoy pairing what you have with new products becoming available in the 3 May 2022 Annual Catalog.  

Products Sell Out Fast - Once you decide which Last Chance Products you want, order as soon as possible so you don't miss out on these savings.  Availability of retiring products is only while supplies last.  Have a few "back-up" items to your Shopping List in the event an item becomes unavailable while placing your order.

Use my March Host Code for a free thank you gift Visit my Stampin' Up! on-line store to place your order for Stampin' Up! products.  Reminder that Stampin' Up! shipping costs will increase 1 April 2022.    Use the April Host Code-- RMUU6V6G-- if your order is between $50-$149 before shipping and tax to qualify for a thank you gift for shopping with me.  Orders over $150 earn Stampin' Rewards from Stampin' Up!, and you do not use the Host Code to qualify for Stampin' Rewards.  April Host Code:  RMUU6V6G

Blessings of Home Bundle with Soft Succulent and Pale Papaya

                            

  • Aptly names, Blessings of Home
  • Coordinating Flowers of Home Dies
  • Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin Kit - with two stamp sets!

Father, We praise You for this fresh revelation today concerning our homes and the blessing we wish to bestow over them with this prayer.  You are faithful to reveal so much more than we ever knew we needed to pray for!  And as the context of Your Love continues to unravel before our eyes, we pray that our hearts are open to receiving Your grace and truth.  

Blessings of Home.  What a wonderfully named stamp bundle.  We are so blessed with the flowers surrounding our homes that rest their heads this time of year.  Time of restoration, and new breath in our lungs.  We're returning from the home of family members in Florida, we're feeling blessed to be home safe and protected.  We ask that our Father bless our home; our safe place, our contentment, that He graciously provided to use.  Help me to take care of the home I have and show love to the people who enter through my door.  Let me share the beauty of nature that surrounds our home--wildlike and floral displays that He create.  Allow me to capture the vivid colors and and textures and use them to share messages of celebration with others.

I'm so grateful today to share this card made with Blessing of Home Stamp Set and Flowers of Home Dies.  I've used Soft Succulent and Mint Macaron along with Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia representing the beauty of the colors around our home.  I used Vellum Layering Designs colored with Soft Succulent using Blending Brushes to add more shades of nature to my card.


Birthday card using the Stampin' Up! BLessings of Home Stamp Set and Flowers of Home Dies


To create today's card, I used a base card of Soft Succulent Cardstock.  Then a layer of Pale Papaya Cardstock.  Then a layer of Mint Macaron covered with a piece of vellum from the Vellum 12" X 12" Layering Designs paper pack.  The vellum was colored with Soft Succulent ink using Blending Brushes. 
 
Floral Birthday card using the Stampin' Up! Blessing of Home Stamp set and Flowers of HOme Dies


For the image layers, I used a Very Vanilla, and stamped the floral image in Cinnamon Cider.  Then I colored the flowers with Pale Papaya Blends and Just Jade for the leaves.  Tip:  Because the Cinnamon Cider isn't permanent ink, it will "bleed".  I was careful to avoid coloring too much with the Pal Papaya alcohol-based Blends.  I colored one layer, allowed it to dry and then added a second layer, careful to avoid coloring the Cinnamon Cider lines as much as possible.  I also colored a couple of the smaller flowers using Fresh Freesia Blends.






Next, I stamped asentiment from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set in Soft Succulent, onto a Very Vanilla die cut I created using one of the shapes from the  Messages Die.  I added a Coastal Cabana Rhinestone from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and a piece of 3/8" Open Weave Soft Succulent Ribbon. I also added a border of scallops in Fresh Freesia made with dies from the Penned Flowers Dies
