Sometimes you need a stamp set that can deliver beautiful results quickly, easily, and mess-free. And bonus points if it can be tailored to a variety of occasions. This Flower Block<\/a> stamp set from a recent Simon Says Stamp release, Be Bold, checks all the boxes. So, I made a quartet of cards with some of my favorite Pawsitively Saturated Ink<\/a> colors, including some of the newer color trios. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the printmaking style of the block image, and along with the scale of the design, it makes this set incredibly versatile. I chose to pair all of my color combinations with the Wonky Trapezoid<\/a> background stamp released way back during Stamptember! I knew I was saving it for something good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These cards really did come together in no time. Just some stamping, a couple of passes through a die cutting machine, and some enamel dots for embellishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More details about these cards are listed below, including step-by-step instructions, and a full list of the supplies I used are listed below. Thanks for checking out today’s post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEPS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Stamp and die cut the Flower Blocks.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f For each card, chose three ink colors and stamp the three layers on white cardstock to complete the flower block. I chose a darker color for the flowers, and then for the background, either the medium or lightest tone in the same color family. For the leaves, I chose a green that coordinated with the other colors.
\u25aa\ufe0f Die cut each flower block with the coordinating die.
2.) Create the backgrounds.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f Using the same darker color as the flowers, stamp the background design on white cardstock panels measuring 4 x 5 1\/4.
\u25aa\ufe0f Attach the stamped panels to coordinating colored cardstock panels measuring 4 1\/4 x 5 1\/2 with liquid adhesive.
3.) Create sentiments.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f Stamp sentiments in the same darker color as the backgrounds and die cut with the coordinating sentiment strip dies.
4.) Assemble the cards.<\/strong>
\u25aa\ufe0f Use a ruler to center the flower blocks on the coordinating background panels and attach with liquid adhesive.
\u25aa\ufe0f Attach the coordinating sentiments to the center of the flower blocks with liquid adhesive.
\u25aa\ufe0f Attach embellishments.
\u25aa\ufe0f Attach everything to A2 side-fold card bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
