Floral Charm Happy Birthday

Posted on August 5, 2025 by Genevieve Valdes

You can’t have too many birthday cards on -hand or floral stamp sets or dies. The one I used this week is from the Floral Charming Suite. The suite has a stamp set, dies, faceted dots and braided trim.

The card I created with Stampin’ Up Charming Day Bundle is inspired by the color challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments of Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Blackberry Bliss. The flowers and foliage are colored with Stampin’ Blends dark and light – Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Blackberry Bliss. The floral images on the Fresh Freesia panel is stamped with Fresh Freesia ink and the sentiment is stamped with Blackberry Bliss. The strip behind the Basic White panel is Pool Party card stock.

Stop by Hand Stamped Sentiments to see more inspiration for creating with these colors.

Easter Friends say Happy Easter

Posted on March 8, 2022 by Genevieve Valdes

I was inspired to create this card from Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge – Mint Macaron, So Saffron and Fresh Freesia. These colors are perfect for spring and for Easter. I recently purchased the Stampin’ Up Easter Friends and combined this stamp set with the color challenge to create an Easter card.

I used the three largest scalloped dies from the Scalloped Contours Dies. I used Fresh Freesia for the largest scalloped die then used DSP from the Hand-Penned DSP collection. The sentiment is from the Easter Friends stamp set and stamped in Mint Macaron on Basic White card stock. The cute ducky is stamped in Gray Granite and sponged with So Saffron. The legs, feet and beak were colored with a Blender Pen in So Saffron and colored darker than the body which I used a sponge dauber. To embellish I used Fresh Freesia color jewels from the 2021-2021 In Color Jewels. The ribbon is 3/8″ Open Weave Fresh Freesia. The inside of the card is stamped with Fresh Freesia sentiment and chick image in Gray Granite and sponged with So Saffron. Sentiment and images are from the Easter Friends Stampin’ Up stamp set.

Take the color challenge and see what you can create with these beautiful spring colors. Go to HHS and be inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments design team.
