Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m thrilled to share three great cards from our recent Spring Stamping Retreat Attendee Card Swap. Our talented attendees have truly outdone themselves, creating beautiful designs that highlight the artistry and versatility of our favorite stamping products. Let’s dive into the details and celebrate their amazing work.

Card 1: Cheerful Daisies Card

The star of this card is undoubtedly the daisies, stamped in soft, cheerful hues of Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Mossy Meadow that evoke the freshness of a spring garden. The intricate detailing of the stamps brings each daisy to life, showcasing the versatility of the set.

Kellie attendee used a the “Two-Step” stamping technique to add depth and dimension to the daisies, seamlessly transitioning between pink and mauve. This technique enhances the realism of the flowers and adds a dynamic feel to the card.

Card 2: Layered Florals Embossing Folder Card

Next, we have a stunning creation featuring the Layered Florals Embossing Folder. This card showcases the elegance and sophistication that embossing can bring to any project.

To accentuate the embossed details, Karie used a coloring technique, lightly coloring over the raised areas with the Stampin’ Blends markers. This not only highlights the intricate floral patterns but also adds a soft, vintage touch.

A simple, elegant sentiment is stamped and placed delicately at the top of the card. This minimalist approach allows the embossed florals to remain the focal point, creating a harmonious balance between the elements.

Card 3: Simply Zinnia Bundle and Embossing Folder Card

This card captures the essence of zinnias in full bloom, bursting with color and texture. This bundle includes both stamps and dies, allowing for beautifully stamped and precisely cut zinnias. Sandy then used a combination of bold, bright colors to reflect the natural beauty of zinnias, resulting in a card that is both eye-catching and joyful.

The coordinating embossing folder provides a detailed backdrop that complements the stamped and die-cut zinnias. The embossed background adds texture and interest without overwhelming the main floral elements. Sandy added a touch of bling with the 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer paper.
