Global Stamping Friends March Blog Hop Spring Into Stamping

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends March Blog Hop as we showcase projects to help us Spring into Stamping. It's hard to believe that it's March already and that the official start of Spring is just weeks away. Our Design Team will be sharing their beautiful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity to help you create your own beautiful Spring projects.

For my Spring card design, I have chosen to use the Art Gallery Bundle that is part of the Savings Are In Bloom Promotion during the month of March. You can save 20% on this beautiful bundle while supplies last and it's perfect for creating wonderful Spring themed projects. I paired it with the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. This pretty Fresh Freesia pattern makes a lovely background for my floral card design. I chose to use several of the 2021-2023 In Colors for my color combination and I love the way they pop against the Basic White cardstock layer that was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Did you know that the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Floral Gallery Dies fit perfectly in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine? This cute little machine is so versatile and fits perfectly in your craft space. This pretty card design would work well for a variety of occasions and would be a great addition to your card stash.

This clean and simple card design features the beautiful florals from the Art Gallery Bundle. I stamped the background flower image with Polished Pink Classic ink by stamping it off once on scrap paper before stamping it onto Basic White cardstock. I then stamped the second floral image on top with Polish Pink Classic ink to create the layers of color for the image. I stamped the stem using Soft Succulent Classic ink also onto Basic White cardstock and then used the coordinating Floral Gallery Dies from the bundle to die cut both images. I attached the stem to the Basic White Scalloped Rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals behind the leaves. Next I attached the floral image with Stampin' Dimensionals towards the top of the rectangle so that it overlaps the top of the stem. I attached the Scalloped Rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals, to the designer series paper layer which has been adhered to the card base. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Soft Succulent Classic ink onto the label and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the card design, I tied a bow with the Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and attached it to the stem with a Mini Glue Dot and added Polished Pink Jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels, to the sentiment label. This color combination is perfect for Spring themed cards and I love how this design turned out.
