Sweet Blooms Hello

Posted on July 8, 2025 by Genevieve Valdes

Bright colors are what you’ll find in the Florals in Bloom DSP. These colors are perfect for creating beautiful cards. I was inspired to create with this bundle and using many of the bright colors for the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge. The card base is Timid Tiger with a layer of Darling Duckling and Florals in Bloom DSP. The word Lovely is in die cut from Petunia Pop and shadowed with Basic White. The card is embellished with Pretty in Pink ribbon, Basic Rhinestones and 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Here is the challenge sketch mage. See more inspiration at Hand Stamped Sentiments.

Sending Happy Thoughts with Winterly Tree Tops

Posted on October 15, 2024 by Genevieve Valdes

This latest card I created is based on Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge. The card base is Crumb Cake with a layer of Crumb Cake embossed with Birch Wood 3d Embossing Folder. The birds and bark are patterned paper from the Nests of Winter DSP. The sentiments are from the Artful Amaryllis stamp set and stamped with Copper Clay on Pumpkin Pie. This was an easy and fast card to make.

Nature’s Prints in Stampin’ Up In Colors 2022 – 2024

Posted on May 31, 2022 by Genevieve Valdes

The color challenge this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments is with the 2022 – 2024 Stampin’ Up! In Colors. Use 3 or all 5 In-Colors. It’s up to you. I love all the colors so I decided to use all 5 and use the Nature’s Print bundle.

I started with a Basic White card base. The second layer I embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I then stamped foliage in the different In-Colors. The sentiment I stamped in Sweet Sorbet then die cut with the circle Stitched Shapes dies I also die cut leaf foliage in Starry Night and the tag layer behind the sentiments in Orchid Oasis. I also used a bit of the Parakeet Party metallic ribbon and embellished with Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party an Tahitian Tide 2022-2024 In Color Color Matte Decorative Dots.
