Spreading Joy Through Handmade Cards
The Flower Shop stamp set was first introduced in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog and the time has come to say goodbye as it is retiring. Although the set comes with 6 pansy flowers but no greeting, it is such a nice stamp to own. I’ve used it many, many times and enjoyed playing with it. For today’s card I stamped several flowers with Archival Black …
Today is my mom’s 78th birthday and this is the card I made for her. Unfortunately she’s in the hospital right now so I wanted to make something cheerful yet soft. She loves lace and what better stamp to use than the Delicate Details from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I wanted something dainty so I added some lace trim and one of the Falling In Love …
Today’s birthday card was made using the Flower Shop stamp and the new Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I hadn’t used this set for a while and I thought it was time to ink it up. After stamping the flowers, I wanted to make them a bit whimsical so I added the dots image from the Birthday Blooms set. The choice of my colors came from …
For today’s card, I’m playing with Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration card sketch 32 and PalsPaperArts Color Challenge 295. I like this color combo that forced me to use Cucumber Crush which I don’t use often. The flowers in the background were stamped with Crumb Cake. I stamped the banner with the banner image from the set For All Things then punched it with the banner punch. Thanks for stopping …

Stamp your base image with White Craft ink, then using medium and neutral color inks, stamp your image and as you do, you will see the white ink come through for a nice effect. In this card, I used the Flowering Flourishes stamp as my base, so if you look …
May and June is graduation time. I made this card with the Flower Shop Stamp set for my male cousin who graduated from the New York Botanical Gardens study program where he studied flower arranging among many other things. He has become quite the florist and we have been enjoying the benefits from it! We’re very proud of him. I needed a card that wasn’t …
Here’s another card using the Hardwood Background stamp that I made for my sister who celebrated her birthday last week. I believe she really liked it! May is a popular month in my family with birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother’s Day – many cards to make! I stamped the card stock with Crumb Cake ink on a 5-1/2″ x 12″ Very Vanilla card stock and scored at …

I decided to use Tempting Turquoise as one of the colors that I don’t use too often – not sure why because I like it whenever I use it. …
This was a quick card to make using the Flower Shop stamp set. I wanted a soft looking card for an elderly lady who is at a rehab so I decided to use one of my paper doilies and flowers. I like the softness the Pistachio Pudding and Soft Sky combo creates. The unique thing about this card is that I also punched a flower …
