This month we will be using the beautiful Mixed Florals stamp and die bundle. I love the line art images, which lend themselves to coloring with any medium. They can be soft, bold, elegant, or colored to reflect any season. The creative options are endless. And these images really come to life with color!

Welcome to the April blog hop where I am sharing a simple card made with the Thoughtful Wishes Bundle.
Stampin’ Up! recently released the list of items moving to the Last Chance section of my online store. And when I saw the colors for this month’s color challenge, I knew just what I wanted to work with!
It seems like each year when I pull items going away with the changing catalog, I find a couple treasures that didn’t get nearly enough love – and this year, the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set was one of those! This color challenge was perfect to coordinate with it! And if you want some great deals, or to get some items still on your wish list, now is the time to check out the Last Chance section that is while supplies last!
Creating this was pretty simple. I blended a bit of ink in the background, then stamped some of the greenery images to create a base for layering. Then I added the thistle images and my sentiment. It came together quickly.
The Thoughtful Wishes Bundle is beautiful! If you don’t have this in your stash, you might want to consider it before it’s gone! The coordinating dies are fabulous and I have used them a lot for layering elements on a variety of projects. They mix with so many other stamps and dies.
Adding layers of interest in the background made this fun to create! This project has ink blending, stamping and splattering to create the backdrop for the focal images.
To Create this Card
Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5-1/2″ in Basic White
Front Layer: 3-3/4″ x 5″ in Basic White
For Stamping: 4″ x 4″ in Basic White
Sentiment: 2″ x 1″ in Basic Black
Lightly blend a Balmy Blue area in center of front layer. Stamp the foliage image 2-3 times without reinking on card front in Lemon Lime Twist ink. Repeat on front layer, stamping twice. Stamp dots on front layer in Balmy Blue ink. Splatter layer with Basic Black ink and Wink of Stella. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp thistle image twice in Versamark ink on Basic White cardstock and heat emboss in black. Lightly watercolor, then die cut. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Versamark ink on Basic Black cardstock and heat emboss in white. Die cut with Wonderful Thoughts dies. Tie a twine bow and adhere to back of sentiment. Adhere sentiment to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with dots.

Thanks for checking in today for the Color Fusers blog hop where I am sharing a gorgeous card made with the Mixed Florals Bundle. This project uses 3 colors from the 2024-2026 In Colors, and they are perfect for thinking Spring!
How I thought I didn’t need the Mixed Florals bundle is beyond me. But since getting it, I have used it a -ton-! It’s gorgeous, and simple, and oh so fun to color! It’s part of a larger suite, which also includes the Mixed Labels Dies, used to cut the sentiment on today’s project, plus gorgeous paper.
Today’s project is watercolored with a Water Painter and ink from an ink pad. It’s one of my favorite ways to color! I squish a clear block into the pad to pick up ink, then use the Water Painter to pull ink from the block to color. It’s easy, and allows for varying intensities of color. However, I have also used Stampin’ Blends and watercolor pencils, and all are so fun!
In the Details
I used black as an accent to give the details on this project a little ‘pop’! It’s a great way to create a dramatic effect. The adorable sentiment is from the Keeping Tabs Stamp Set. I love this set for its variety of sentiments and the small size, lending itself to just about any project. And creating a shimmery background with glimmer paper is as simple as a die cut.
To Create this Project
Card Base – Summer Splash 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″
Front Layer – designer series paper 4″ x 5 1/4″
Glimmer Paper – Summer Splash from In Color Pack
Thick Basic White – stamped image
Stamp floral image in StazOn ink and allow to dry well. Adhere designer series paper to card front. Adhere glimmer paper die cut leaf element to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watercolor floral image with Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, and Peach Pie ink and a Water Painter. Die cut and adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Heat emboss sentiment on Basic Black cardstock in white embossing powder. Die cut with label die and adhere to card front. Add a twine bow and Summer Splash In Color Shimmer Gems. Embellish inside card and envelope as desired.
