Flowers of Beauty Dies Archives

At last week’s Card & Cuppa Class, we made this project using the Flowers of Beauty Stamp Set & Dies Bundle.

Only two stamps and one die from the bundle, two ink pads and some embellishments were needed to create this design.

The colour combination of In Color Moody Mauve, Petal Pink and Very Vanilla give this card a more vintage feel. It’s also sentiment free, so perfect for any occasion.

First, the small flowers were stamped on the background piece. This was second generation stamping to give a paler feel, and not distract from the more focal stems.

Next, the main stems were stamped, twice tone-on-tone onto Moody Mauve and once onto a separate piece. The Very Vanilla image was cut out using the dies.

A touch of Wink of Stella was used on the inside of the leaves to give a hint of sparkle.

Three lengths of coordinating Very Vanilla Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack were then added across the Moody Mauve piece.

The focal stem was then attached using carefully placed Mini Dimensionals.

Finally, some sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio are added.

This project didn’t take long to create at all and could easily be replicated in different colour ways. You could also add a sentiment at the top or bottom too.

Don’t forget it’s SAB time of year, make sure you don’t miss out on FREE products.

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used both a new Bundle from the Annual Catalogue and a new In Color too.

For this sentiment free design I was introducing Peach Pie, one of the new In Color Collection for 2024-2026. See the bottom of this post for more details on Peach Pie.

This new orange is teamed with Pecan Pie and Calypso Coral and Very Vanilla for a softer look.

The project also uses the new Flowers of Beauty Bundle (Stamp Set & Dies).

A background is stamped in 2nd and 3rd generation stamping (see my Top Tips, Tricks & Techniques Video here for more details on generational stamping).

Next, the central leaves and flower are stamped and cut out using the coordinating dies. As the flower is two-step stampin’ we used Peach Pie for both parts, stamping off the infill piece to make it lighter. The large leaf is then cut out too.

Using a Blender Pen, the two smaller leaves are given a little bit of colour.

One of the Online Exclusives Circle Punches creates the central piece that all of the cut outs are then attached to.

Coordinating In Color Bordered Ribbon is then added across the centre of the project before the circle with it’s attachments are stuck on with Dimensionals.

Finally, some In Color Shimmer Gems, again in coordinating Peach Pie, add a little touch of sparkle.
