Garden Greetings In Color

Today is "Plant a Flower Day" so I'm planting a virtual flower for you since it's WAY too early up here in the mountains to actually do that yet! On May 12th, I might be tempted to plant a flower, but it will probably freeze, so I'll wait a few weeks after that!

How about these colors!?!!! I CASEd this card from Barb Mullikin because I thought it was so striking. We did this card at Club this month.


The Garden Greetings stamp set is perfect for layering and making your own whimsical blooms. I gave each flower layer a Stampin' Dimensional to pop it up. I used a birthday greeting, but this card would be good for any occasion! The set comes with birthday, friends, get well, and thank you greetings.

TIP: It's easy to make your own designer paper with a stamp set like this. Use 3 or 4 coordinating colors and make sure you randomly stamp off the edge of the piece like I did on the Whisper White card stock. To dress up the Kiwi Kiss paper, I stamped it in the same Kiwi Kiss ink color to jazz it up.

I'd love to have some links to projects you've made with the Garden Greetings stamp set, since I love hearing from you!

Stamp away today!
