Sunflower Stamper - 5 new articles


Lovely Petal

Morning all! Hope you have a GREAT weekend on tap. Super cold so not venturing out much but we do have a basketball game tomorrow afternoon we plan to attend! Here are a couple cards I made this week with the Lovely Blossoms Suite of products! Specifically the Lovely Arrangements stamp set and dies and the Lovely Blossoms DSP.


Same card, different sayings! This Hello Friend one is going into my stash and will likely get mailed on February 7 for "send a card to a friend day"!

Several of these that say Thank You went to customers who made purchases in January! Who am I? Thank you cards mailed BEFORE the end of the current month! 

Card base is Crumb Cake, background of Petal Pink printed DSP with a Basic White layer. Die cut circles out of Pecan Pie on a Crumb Cake DSP also with a Basic White accent layer. Flowers were stamped with Pecan Pie and die cut. I then lightly added some Petal Pink with my blends. Leaf stamped with Crumb Cake and die cut. Circles and then flowers are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Pink accents are from a new bling pack, Sparkle Dot Essentials. In my head, these were the same pinks. Turns out they are not! But I think they still work. The dots are Pretty in Pink, not Petal Pink.

Lovely Fabulous Birthday

Morning all! More time playing yesterday! Lovely Arrangements things till on my desk, but I added Fabulous Sayings and a new product coming soon...the Stampin' Positioner! Picture below! First, the two cards!

I flipped the colors so you could see what a difference that makes! I am late to the party with these In Colors but I am LOVING them! Secret Sea and Cloud Cover here. Note: there is NOT a Cloud Cover ink pad, but you can get the refill and use a blank Stampin' Spot. There was an issue with the ink staying true to color on the ink pad.

Here is each alone!


Cloud Cover base, Secret Sea accent, Basic White background. Alternating Happy Birthday from Fabulous Sayings in Cloud Cover and Secret Sea. Flowers from Lovely Arrangements stamped in Secret Sea with a little Cloud Cover in the center. If I had the Cloud Cover Stampin' Blends I would have used that, but I don't so I grabbed a blender pen and ink refill. Go lightly so as not to bleed the Secret Sea! New Cloud Cover ribbon knotted around, flowers and stem attached over. In Color Flat pears for final accent. Secret Sea center flowers, Cloud cover accents below and above. Background done with the new Stampin' Positioner!

Flipped colors. Secret Sea base, Cloud Cover accent. Same flowers but Secret Sea ribbon. Cloud Cover pearls center flower and Secret Sea accents. Similar background, this one is centered a little better!

Here is the new Tool! It will be available to all at a later date. Current Demos can order now, Sign up between February 3 and March 2 and get it FREE with your Starter kit!

It is about the size of an iPad. Base has measurements and tabs for attaching the two positioner pieces. There is a larger one for bigger images or just basic stamp placement. The smaller piece allows even spacing by moving "down" at increments. Its "spring loaded" in that your inked stamps do not touch the paper below unless you press down. Magnets have neat little tabs for easy grabbing and moving.

Here is a look at just the products. the base is actually white, but it has a pad of graph paper you can purchase to use on the base both for measuring and catching any ink. Click to enlarge!

My first run leaves me impressed. I'm not in the habit of using anything like this and I have no idea what other products are out there but I'm excited to play more and see all the possibilities! LMK if you have any questions!

Lovely Friend

I've had some time to play this week! And my focus has been the Lovely Blossoms Suite Collection.

Coincidentally, I just learned today that there is an upcoming class from Stampin' Up! Featuring this Suite. I will be signing up, starting February 3! I will remind you. But I would suggest if you don't have the Suite, order it *NOW*! Class is just $25 and will be held in a Facebook Group. Live on February 19 at 2:00 pm MT. Immediate replays available!!

Here is the Suite as well! It includes the Lovely Arrangements Bundle (stamps and dies), Lovely Stripes embossing folder, Lovely Blossoms DSP, Cloud Cover Ribbon and Moody Palette Glossy Dots.

Let me know if you have questions on purchasing the class, or how any of it works. I've done similar things with Stampin' Up! but not yet one of these new classes. They've been doing one a month recently! I am planning to do this one as I already have the product!! And I really like it :)

Here is one of the cards I came up with today. Several others coming soon! Look at that top sheet of DSP, behind the stamp set in the photo above. It has several printed images that are awesome for a card front or element on a scrapbook page. I took the small squares across the bottom and did this!

I cut a circle with each pattern using the Stylish Shapes dies. The square were just about 2", so this is just a bit smaller. I tried all kinds of arrangements before settling on this! Love how it came together! After attaching the circles to the Basic White background, I textured it with the Lovely Stripes embossing folder. Card base is Secret Sea, accent of Cloud Cover. DSP colors are Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Secret Sea, Old Olive and Cloud Cover. Simple greeting on a die, both from this bundle and a Secret Sea ribbon for accent!

*One thing to note, this DSP pack is 3 each of 4 designs on the 12 sheets, normally they are 2 each of 6!

Thanks for stopping by, and I will be back soon! I made thank you cards today as well for January customers using this same suite! Want to mail those before sharing so will be a few days! Product details and links below!

Blackberry Sunflowers

 Morning all! One last post, for now, with Sunflowers! This time, in Blackberry Bliss!


These are so quick to do! I needed a thank you card the other day, and a birthday card. In just a few minutes, I had both! The background is the Two-Tone Blackberry Bliss from a combo pack, Celebrate together. Links at the bottom! The single color packs are 12 sheets. I opted for a couple variety packs to have multiple colors to play with. Those I love and use most may become single pack purchases later!

These are same as the Crushed Curry ones, except I made them "horizontal" and not vertical. Depends on how you want to attach sayings, etc. I don't like to cover all the flowers! I embossed with the Sunflower 3D folder, then went over with a sanding block. Accent layer of Basic White and a card base of Blackberry Bliss. Sayings on both are from Simply Said. The banner on the top one is from the current die set Stylish Shapes, the bottom is a retired die. Retired white ribbon also. Top card is current Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon. Also on the top card I accented the main Sunflower with Wink of Stella. Just lightly brushed it over! Perfect compliment to that ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you get to create today! I spent time putting things away yesterday so I can get back to work easier! Several project still partially done, and a new Paper Pumpkin received yesterday. Product links below for current items!

More sunflowers!

This wonderful folder is still on my desk and I might not put it away :) Hoping to spend time in my room today as it is far too cold to leave the house! But for now, here are a couple cards I mailed to friends early last week for birthdays.

These use the NEW Two-Tone Cardstock in Crushed Curry. See how one is darker (left)? This is 12 x 12 paper. Called cardstock but is lighter weight than that, probably heavier than DSP though. But it also has a white core! Hello sanding block! Here is a closer up of the darker one!

I embossed the Two-Tone cardstock in the folder. Depending which side you want raised, note how you are putting the paper in the folder! Good news though, it works either way! Once embossed, lightly go over with a sanding block. Be gentle, some of the raised edges will catch. It will accent parts of the flower and petals. LOVE!! Note, we no longer have sanding blocks available but you likely have one if you've been crafting for a while. If not, I'm sure you can find one "out there". 

And, this paper comes in ALL the colors! and I do mean all! It also comes in variety packs! Check the different suites for options! I bought Crushed Curry in the full pack and a couple of variety packs as well for options! There are lots of embossing folders (current and retired!) that would be awesome with this technique! Check your stash :)

Card base is Thick Basic White, accent layer of Secret Sea. Banner from Stylish Shapes and a retired Happy Birthday saying. Secret Sea ribbon knotted behind the banner.

Have a GREAT weekend all! I've got a few chores to take care of, then heading down to my room. Still trying to get birthday cards together for the year and have a few in the works projects I need to finish up!
