Friend Framed Florets Card

Posted on March 21, 2023 by Genevieve Valdes

With spring around the corner and inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Fresh Freesia, Pear Pizzazz and Balmy Blue I created this card with the Framed Florets bundle.

I love the color Fresh Freesia and sad it will be retiring soon. I cased this card from page 65 of the mini catalog. These inspiration colors together were perfect for creating a card with Framed Florets bundle. The card base is Fresh Freesia card stock and stamped the background with Fresh Freesia. I used the gold metallic paper for the frame and added Wink of Stella to the flowers. The inside oval I die cut from Shimmer White and water-colored with Fresh Freesia. The sentiment is stamped in black StazOn.

A Splendid Day for Sending Hugs

Posted on August 23, 2022 by Genevieve Valdes

My card is inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge of Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay.

I used the Stampin’ UP! Splendid Thoughts stamp set and dies to create my card. The background layer I color washed with Bermuda Bay and a water painter. I let dry then stamped with the leaves. I stamped the larger leaves with Black Memento and water colored with Bermuda Bay using a water painter then die cut two of these. I also die cut the open leaf foliage in Rich Razzleberry and Basic White. I also stamped foliage in Calypso Coral then die cut. I arranged the foliage in the middle with glue dots and dimensionals and added gold trim ribbon. I stamped the sentiment then die cut using the stitched half circle from the bundle.

Hop on over to Hand Stamped Sentiments and see what the design team has created with these beautiful colors.

Peaceful Moments Friendship card

Posted on March 31, 2020 by Genevieve Valdes

These are trying times and we are all coping with the help of family, friends and stamping therapy.  During my stamping therapy I created this card with the Peaceful Moments bundle.  The poppy flowers and die cut background were die cut using the Poppy Moments Dies.  The sentiment was stamped using the Peaceful Moments stamp set.  The bright cheerful colors were inspired by the Hand Stamped Sentiments color challenge of Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight.

A Bird Ballad: Your friendship means the world to me

Posted on July 30, 2019 by Genevieve Valdes

I recently found out one of my dear friends whom I craft with often is moving away.  I’m happy for her but sad she;s leaving.  I created this card to give to her and let her know how important her friendship is to me.   I created this card with products from the Bird Ballad suite and inspired by the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge.

I primarily used the colors of Pool Party and Calypso Coral.  I used the Stampin’ Blends to color the bird, flowers and leaves.  I also used the Birds Ballad dsp.  I die cut the layer with the bird image with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and used the decorative edge die on the bottom of the Pool Party layer.  I used pearls and 3/8″ Scalloped Lace Ribbon to embellish.  I used the retired ornate topper punch to create the tag and rounded the corners with retired corner punch.  The card came together pretty quickly.

Please visit Hand Stamped Sentiments to see more inspiration from their design team.
