By | 2 Comments

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a variety of flower images!

FERN & FLORA

I thought to pick out one flower image and use the colors in the inspiration piece.  I love the new Hydrangea Hue blue…and it is so pretty with Bubble Bath!

 

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bubble Bath cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Hydrangea Hue cardstock was embossed with the Floral Spray Embossing Folder.
  • The flower image from Fern & Flora stamp set was stamped four times with Basic Black Hybrid Ink on Basic White cardstock, then colored with the Water Painter and Hydrangea Hue, Peaceful Pine and Bubble Bath Inks.  The centers were colored with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends.
  • Each of the flowers were cut with the Scalloped Blooms Die, then assembled on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The label from Scalloped Blooms Die was cut from Bubble Bath cardstock and stamped with the greeting in Basic Black Hybrid Ink.
  • Some Linen Thread was tied in a bow and added to the side of the greeting.

So soft and delicate looking!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

IM434 – Fern & Flora

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a greenhouse of plants!

FERN & FLORA

This inspiration photo was definitely a starting point for today’s potted plant card!  I unfortunately do NOT have a green thumb.  The only live plant I have is an African Violet that was my grandmother’s.  She’s been gone over 45 years…so it is a pretty old plant and I baby it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Secret Sea cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 1-1/2 x 4 strip of Moonlit Flora DSP was torn across the top and added to the bottom of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock, and that was added to the front.
  • Two of the Jar Punch bases were punched from Cajun Craze and Basic Beige and embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder (on the Last Chance list).  they were added to the front staggered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The large narrow fern was cut from Lemon Lime Twist, the two fiddlesticks from Peaceful Pine, two pointed leaf ferns from Old Olive and two ivy ferns from Mossy Meadow cardstocks.  All were assembled and adhered under the jar punch containers.
  • The greeting was stamped on a 1/2 x 1-1/2 piece of Basic White cardstock with Mossy Meadow Ink and the ends cut at an angle.
  • The moth was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic Beige cardstock and colored with Lemon Lime Twist and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends, then added to the ferns with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  • A trio of dark blue Moody Palette Dots were added to the background.

 

So glad that jar punched worked for my containers!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite New 2026-28 In Color

By | Leave a Comment

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week’s theme is “Favorite New 2026-28 In Color…pick just ONE!

FERN & FLORA

I really do LOVE all the In Colors this year!  Peaceful Pine is the one that stands out the most for me…and the one I’ve used the most so far!  The new Fern & Flora Bundle was a perfect choice to use it on!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Peaceful Pine cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Fern & Flora Embossing Folder and the deboss area was swiped several times with Peaceful Pine Ink pad across it.  I love how it leaves the indentations white!
  • A 1-1/2 x 4-1/4 strip of Basic Beige cardstock was stamped with the outline banner and greeting with Peaceful Pink Ink towards the right side.
  • The bush image was cut with the Die from Peaceful Pine cardstock and added to the left of the greeting.
  • The fiddlestick image was cut with the Die from Gold Metallic Paper and added over the Pine one with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The moth was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and watercolored with Peaceful Pine Ink.  It was cut with the Die and adhered over the greeting.
  • Some 3/8″ White & Gold Ribbon was tied in a bow and added to the bottom of the stem with Mini Glue Dots.
  • Some Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems were added to the background and the moth body.

 

Yep…definitely my favorite!  I think this color fills in the gap of greens in SU’s lineup!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
