Botanical Blooms for What Will You Stamp?

Can you believe it is already Week 52 for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog.  That means the Design Team has just completed our first year.  Hooray!!!!!  I have been so blessed to be a part of this great team of talented, artistic women.  Thanks to all of you!!!

The Botanical Blooms bundle is my absolute favorite in the Occasions Catalog and it happens to be the stamp set of choice over at the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Blog this week.  I also love a black, red and white color combo so that's what I did here.  The stamps and dies in this bundle make it so easy to create a beautiful card.

The assorted stamps allow you to make your own Designer Paper. 
How fun is that!!

Blended Bloom for JAX STARZ December Blog Hop

Welcome to the JAX Starz December Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here from Sheilah Stampers' blog.  The challenge this month was to use the sketch shown below.



 I decided I wanted to use a much larger stamped image and chose Blended Bloom.  I love this Stampin' Up! stamp and haven't used it nearly enough.  I stamped the image onto Coastal Cabana cardstock and used the Coastal Cabana Blendabilities to color it.  Any guesses on what color Blendabilities I used for the center portion?  Nope, it's not Rich Razzleberry.  I actually used Melon Mambo!!!!!  Using the Melon Mambo on top of the Coastal Cabana cardstock caused it to look exactly like Rich Razzleberry.  That is what I call a happy accident!  LOL

Direction for this card:

• Coastal Cabana cut 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 for card base
• White Whisper cut 5 1/4 x 4
• Rich Razzleberry cut 3 7/8 x 3 3/4
• Coastal Cabana cut 3 7/8 x 1/4
• Coastal Cabana cut 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 for stamped image
• Using Memento Black Ink stamp Blended Bloom image onto Coastal Cabana cardstock and color with Coastal Cabana and Melon Mambo Blendabilities.  Add white dots with the Signo White Gel Pen.  Cut out.
• Adhere Whisper White & Rich Razzleberry cardstocks together and dry emboss using the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Glue Coastal Cabana strip over seam.  Glue onto card base.
• Stamp Hello from A Dozen Thoughts onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and die cut using Bitty Banners framelit.  Also die cut scraps of Coastal Cabana & Rich Razzleberry using the same framelit.  Glue pieces together.
• Adhere the Blended Bloom and the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals.
