Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a sunflower print!

RADIANT SUNFLOWERS

The Sunflower Fields DSP is filled with sunflower patterns…I picked the one that looked most like the rows of sunflowers in the inspiration photo!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Sunflower Fields DSP was added on top.
  • A coordinating check print was cut 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 and added towards the bottom.
  • The sunflowers from Radiant Sunflowers Dies were cut from Daffodil Delight cardstock and brushed with Golden Glow Ink.
  • The centers were cut from Early Espresso cardstock.  They were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink on Old Olive and brushed with Mossy Meadow Ink.  They were cut with the Dies and added next to the large sunflower.
  • The greeting was stamped on the polka dot Sunflower Fields DSP with Early Espresso Ink and cut with the Radiant Sunflowers Die.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Radiant Gems were added to the sunflower centers and the background.

Love how cheery these sunflowers are!  OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  We have a pretty color challenge for you this week!

RADIANT SUNFLOWERS

My original thought was pumpkins with these colors!  But then I decided to do something a little different.  I was wishing for a little green to go with my flowers…but the bronze leaves actually don’t look too out of place!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cajun Craze cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of grid Sunflower Fields DSP was added to the front.
  • A coordinating 1-1/2 x 4 strip of floral Sunflower Fields DSP was added to the bottom.
  • The Radiant Sunflower greeting was stamped with Cajun Craze Ink on a 7/8 x 4 strip of Very Vanilla towards the right edge.  It was added across the top of the DSP.
  • The Radiant Sunflowers were cut with the Dies from Timid Tiger and Crisp Cantaloupe and the centers from Cajun Craze cardstocks.  They were adhered together and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped with Basic Black Ink on Cajun Craze and cut with the Die.  They were tucked under the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Pearlized Faceted Circles were added to the centers.  They are on the Last Chance List and I’m SO sad!  I love them!

 

I’m surprised how well those three colors worked together!  OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.

Saturday Blog Hop – Favorite New Bundle Sept 2026

By | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week’s theme is “Favorite New Sept-December Catalog Bundle”!

RADIANT SUNFLOWERS

I hemmed and hawed over what bundle to use.  There are so many that I really love in this new product offering!  I finally decided on Radiant Sunflowers because I knew I’d get a lot of use out of it…and because…it’s flowers!  I hadn’t used this single line-art sunflower before, so built my card around it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3 x 4-1/4 piece of polka dot Sunflower Fields DSP was embossed with the Rustic Check Embossing Folder and added to the center.
  • Three sunflowers and six leaves were stamped with Basic Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Golden Glow and SU100 Stampin’ Blends.  They were cut with the Radiant Sunflower dies and assembled on the DSP.
  • The greeting was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the label in the Radiant Sunflowers Dies.
  • A trio of gold Radiant Gems were added to the background.

Pretty card to let someone know you are thinking about them!  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!

It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge!  This week a pretty color combination!

RADIANT SUNFLOWERS

These rich colors remind me of flowers late in the summer…they are at full bloom and gorgeous!  I used the upcoming Radiant Sunflowers bundle to achieve that look on today’s card!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Berry Burst cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was added on top.
  • The 3 x 4 piece of Berry Burst Moonlit Flora DSP was angled on the front.
  • A coordinating 3/4 x 4 strip of Golden Glow Moonlight Flora DSP was added across the front on top.
  • The flower cluster was stamped with Basic Black Ink and colored with Berry Burst, Golden Glow and Old Olive/Shaded Spruce.  NOTE:  Did you know you can get a color pretty close to Garden Green by using those two Blends together?  Really wish that SU would put Garden Green in the lineup of Blends!  It was cut with the Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Thinking of You was stamped with Berry Burst Ink on Basic White cardstock and hand-cut around the letters.  It was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • A trio of Sunset Sparkle Sequins were added to the background.

So pretty…I don’t use Berry Burst enough!  OK, check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
