Flowers and Flutters

I've always been in love with flowers and butterflies, so any stamp images or thinlits containing those images gets a close look from me. Do I need another flower stamp? YES! always yes! More... different... new.... it's all good! I have three cards for you today in the Sympathy and Thinking of You genre.

The Coolest Accident Technique!

These are the cards we made in class today. For the first card I wanted to use the Rose Garden die cut and color it with sponge daubers.  I got out my daubers, sponged away... and wow! When I lifted the pretty colored die cut to put on my card, I was delighted at what I saw on my scratch paper! It worked like a stencil, leaving a beautiful negative image. Naturally, I grabbed some Whisper White to put under another die cut to do it on purpose!! Wow, so pretty:)

The last one is an origami folded card for the men in our lives.

Pleats on a Card

This is called the Drapery Fold. I learned how to make it from fellow Demo, Lyssa Zwolanek. Cut a piece of designer series paper, (these double-sided papers are perfect!) that measures 11 1/2" x 4" then score at 3, 4, 6. 7, 9 and 10 inches. Hold it so that the 3-inch score line is facing towards you, then start a long diagonal cut beginning at the 3-inch mark and angle it towards the top left near the corner, leaving about 1 1/4" at the end. Then fold on score lines in alternating directions, like a fan fold. Adhere to your card for an instant wow! I used the Rose Garden Thinlit die on top in the samples below. The designer series papers used below are: Color Collections, Timeless Elegance, and Perfectly Artistic (SALE-A-BRATIONS)

Floating Reinker Technique



  1. Stamp with VersaMark on Shimmery White cardstock (it has more integrity) and heat emboss with white, then let dry 10 - 15 minutes
  2. Really wet with Stampin’ Spritzer so that water pools up in a convex shape. Paper curls so hold it down.
  3. Use a Clear Wink of Stella pen to pick up reinker and float color on top of water. Use a very light touch, you can drag colors a bit. If water is no longer in a convex shape, spray again.
  4. Tip up to dry, colors can run off because you are going to cut it out. You can speed up drying process by blotting up with paper towel or use heat tool.
  5. Die cut leaves and cut out rose when dry. Use dimensionals to adhere flower to card, as paper will curl.
