We’ve got a wonderful card idea from Miss Laura  for you today! Aaaand there’s a peek at the new Jordan Lower alphabet coming November 1. Oh boy!

Aren’t these cards with the Big Bloom stamps just so pretty?

 

Some fun little details going on here, making a very simple process to whip up some cards. Here’s Laura to tell us all about it:

Hey everyone! How gorgeous is the huge floral stamp in Kerri’s new Big Blooms stamp set? As soon as I saw it, I knew what my first project would be with it. I have never gotten into coloring when it comes to stamping, although this large floral stamp could be fun to color! Because it’s such a large stamp, I knew simply stamping the outline in black ink onto patterned paper would work out great. 

I picked out several tone-on-tone polka dot patterned papers, stamped the floral image, and then fussy cut around the edges. I added a simple black and white patterned paper to my card bases, before adhering the floral pieces. The black and white patterned paper did have a few ink splotches printed directly on the paper, but once I cut it down into smaller pieces, some of the cards didn’t show any of the ink splotches. So I pulled out Kerri’s Inked stamp set and quickly added a few stamped ink splotches of my own.

I used Kerri’s new-in-November Jordan Lower alphabet stamps, along with a “beautiful” stamp from her Around The Block stamp set, to stamp my sentiment onto white tags and adhered them in the lower right corners. 

I am a huge fan of creating multiple cards at once, and it’s something I do regularly, just to add to my card stash. I actually created these five cards for five special friends in my life that are always there for me, and I’m always there for them. I’ve relied on these amazing friends more than usual lately, so I wanted to send them a little something to let them know how much I appreciate their friendship. The Big Blooms stamp set made creating these cards a breeze and I love how they turned out!
