Stamp 4 different flower sizes from HC 224C-PC and HC 224D-PC on cream cardstock using gold ink and embossing with detail gold, and color with tombow markers.

Use a border punch for the edges and layer onto a folded burgundy card. Punch out a circle with a decorative circle punch and layer on multiple matching c.s.

This card has 2 parts, an insert and a 'pocket'. I made my pocket by cutting a piece of cardstock in half the long way, then folding it up (I'm overseas, so my cardstock is probably longer than yours, but you can adjust these directions to what you have). Then fold the top edges down about 1-1/2", and cut down from that fold line to about 1/2" in from the bottom corners on each side. There's your pot. I used some decorative paper to cover the edge on one side, cut with a decorative rotary blade, and stapled the edges together, just a quick staple on each side. For the flowers, I stamped and cut some various flowers out of colored cardstock, then shaded them with markers. I tucked the insert into the pot to position the flowers the way I wanted them, then adhered them with either Crystal Lacquer or foam tape (the ones that overlap the edge of the pot have foam tape on them. The buttons are glued on.

For the cards base I used white c.s. & used a Nestabilities circle to cut opening. Keeping the circle die in place I used the swiss dots embossing folder & embossed the card front.  The flower is stamped onto white c.s. with blue ink & colored in using Prismacolor pencils & oms. I cut it out & then used an exacto knife to cut the inside petals. I shaped the flower & added rhinestones, and finished off with a bow.

I stamped the Large flower on patterned paper using orange craft ink and then cut out with the matching Blossom Nestabilities and adhere to the white embossed background (I used the "Tiny Bubbles" folder from Cuttlebug). To get a slightly orange shade, I sponged on some orange ink to the center and sides of big flower. I used one of the Spellbinder's Fancy Tags die to create the label, and then stamped the sentiment ("With Love") on it. Also added four Vintage corner from Cuttlebug, gemstones, ribbon and some piercings to accent the card.

I followed Tim Holtz's tutorial (from step 12 on) to create this dimensional rose...but I used 90# watercolor paper, and cut 4 flowers instead of 3. You can find his tutorial HERE I stamped each flower first with water-based ink (Adirondack Currant), then spritzed it with water and allowed the ink to bleed. The leaves are petals cut out from the same flower and turned around the other way. The 'dew drops' are small drops of 3D Crystal Lacquer, a great glue for this project. The rose and trim are hot-glued onto the tin (this is what we buy baking powder in over here - cool, huh! I love buying products just for their packaging...)

I used the brayer technique for the background on the main image. I stamped the small flower on white glossy card stock using Versamark ink, and then Brayered "Autumn Leaves" Kaleidacolor dye ink over the card stock. For big flower, I stamped first big flower on brown c.s., and second on brayer paper. Then, cut out with matching Blossom Nestabilities and adhered with pop dots to the card. I added some ribbon, Dew Drops and some piercings to accent the card.

I stamped the 4 different sizes of flowers with black ink on to yellow cardstock and cut them out.  I shaped & layered them & secured them with a black glittery brad. I added "lack diamond stickles" to the dots on the flower & set aside to dry. The card base is made using black cardstock embossed using the swiss dots embossing folder (cuttlebug) and the designer paper is "Urban Prarie/Weather Vane-by Basic Grey. I used the pink ribbon where they overlapped. I used a piece of green grosgrain ribbon tied in a knot in the center to add the look of leaves, glued the flower on top of the ribbon and added pink rhinestone swirls.

I stamped the 2nd largest flower in brown ink on watercolor paper 3 times, then watercolored with reinkers and cut out each flower with scissors. The leaves are the petals of the largest flower. I cut the frame with my Coluzzle template, but Nestabilities could also be used. The polka-dot panel is stitched to the card base.

I am a very avid stamper and scrapbooker, and was introduced to stamping at the age of 9. Me and my mom Linda (our stamp artist) found out very quickly that we couldn't find every design we wanted, so Linda started a store... More
