I have this lovely Mother’s Day card to share with you today. It features the Flower Cart stamp and die bundle. It is a two-step stamp set, so no colouring is required to obtain these beautiful flowers. My mother loves her garden and flowers so this is perfect for her. It is just a bright and happy card. It puts a smile on my face every time I look at it.

How to Use Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads for Heat Embossing – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

Quite often, I find people forget that they can use the Stampin’ Up! ink pads for heat embossing. The pads are juicy and therefore, stay wet long enough for embossing. You do have to work quickly but it is easy to do. The colour I’ve used here is Pretty Peacock with the Phrases for All stamp set. You can’t see the embossing in the photo above but it is clear in the video below.

  • Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • Soft Stipped DSP – 13.85cm X 9.5cm
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love how this card turned out. It is very easy to make as the front is one die. The die-cut is delicate, so do be gentle when removing it from the die and sticking it down. It is so pretty, isn’t it?

The background paper is a freebie I got during sale-a-bration (SAB). This sheet is Lost Lagoon. I kept up this theme by stamping in the same coloured ink to add extra interest in the background.

All of Stampin’ Up!’s stamp sets have extra dies that don’t match the stamped image. One of these is this long foliage element. I didn’t want to add extra colour so just used white cardstock. The pop of colour comes from these pretty flowers in Sweet Sorbet from the set Bold Bouquet. I love how all these elements come together so well.

measurements

  • Lost Lagoon Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm.
  • Trusty Tool Box – 13.85cm X 9.5cm
