Pretty Frames & flowers with Framed Florets

November 13, 2022

Hello & welcome to my blog,

My name is Alison & I am an independent Stampin' Up® demonstrator in Melbourne, Australia. I love creating cards & gifts for my loved ones & this blog will show you how to create some beautiful cards using the brand new, limited time Framed Florets & Framed Florets dies. It is such a pretty stamp set & the dies are so versatile, I'm sure you'll love them as much as I do. Here are the cards I made using them.

These are 2 simple cards that use different stamps from the set & different techniques to create them.

For the first card I stamped directly onto the front of the card using Basic Gray ink then inked up some sponge daubers with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & Bumblebee & dabbed the ink on around the image. This gives the image a soft watercolour effect. I added a strip of DSP from Celebrate Everything then stamped a greeting in Highland Heather & added some Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems & that was the front finished. To continue the theme on the inside I used a matte of DSP & stamped & daubed a small image in the top corner as well as on a matching envelope. I love how simple it was to create a pretty card for all sorts of occasions.

The second card uses just 2 colours - Pacific Point & Basic White. The front of the card has a beautiful diecut ring of hearts made using a die from the Framed Florets dies. I reserved a few of the hearts to use inside the card. After placing the diecut onto the front of the card I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the oval, using only 1 part of the sentiment & then placed the floral image above it. I stamped the second part of the sentiment centrally & some leaves in opposite corners as well as on a co-ordinating envelope. This was backed with some retired Berry Delightful DSP as the colours perfectly compliment the card. This is where I used a couple of the reserved hearts also. To finish off the front of the card I added just a couple of the delicate Heart Pearls & that was the card finished.

While I was creating these cards I also got started on the fancy fold card that will be featured in my Mid Week blog on Wednesday. Here's a sneak peak of how it's coming along.....

I hope that you've enjoyed this week's blog & will join me again on Wednesday to see the finished fun fold card. In next week's blog I will be combining 2 stamps sets, Nothing's better than... & Candy Canes to make some different Christmas themed creations. I hope you can join me for both of them.

That's it for another week. Thanks so much for stopping by. If you would like to order any of the supplies I used today you can head over to my Stampin' Up® shop using the links below. Please note that there are some supplies I used this week that are not available any more as they are retired stock. That doesn't mean you can't recreate your own version of these cards though!
