I love the new scalloped note cards and envelopes. They make creating a little note quick and simple. Using just ink and stamps, you can make cute note cards, too!
This set of note cards is dressed up a little, but still come together quickly. They use the new Scalloped Note Cards & Envelopes paired with the Delightful Day stamp set. This stamp set is perfect for making tags, but is so versatile, it works great for cards, too!

These note cards come in a pack of 20, in 4 colors, with 20 matching envelopes. They are one of the hidden gems in the new Annual catalog!
To create this card:
- cut a 3/4" x 5" piece of designer paper to coordinate with the note card color
Stamp the leaves across the front of the note card, followed by the flowers. After stamping the leaves, color them in with a coordinating Stampin' Blends marker. Old Olive ink and Blends marker where used on today's projects. Add a strip of designer paper along the bottom inside edge of the note card to peek out from under the scallop. The stitched edge dies from the Stitched Labels Dies adds the perfect element of detail to the front. Add any sentiment of choice.

Stampin' Tip: The White Stampin' Chalk marker is a fun way to add details to colored cardstock or note cards. This was used on the Balmy Blue note card.

Welcome back! Today I have another project featuring the Bloom & Grow stamp set, and I paired it with the coordinating Budding Blooms dies. Together these are fantastic! I have stepped up this card, adding layers and embellishments.

The floral spray used on this card is so fun to color. It is large enough to do some shading if you choose, but small enough to take just a couple of minutes to complete. I chose to use Stampin' Blends, however, Aqua Painters with ink, Pigment Sprinkles, or watercolor pencils would also work great! This could also be stamped directly onto designer paper and die cut for a quick accent piece.

To create this card:
- Cut a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Melon Mambo cardstock, scored at 4 1/4"
- Cut a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Perennial Essence designer paper
- Cut a 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of vellum
After coloring the floral spray, I embossed the vellum with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. The sentiment was cut using the Stitched Nested Labels dies. This was all layered together with dimensionals, and some Silver Metallic Thread and Rhinestones were added to finish it off.

Jun 8, 2019 | Bloom & Grow bundle, Card - Thank You, Cards - All Occasions, Creating with Bundles, Quick & Easy, Stamping Tips & Techniques |

I am happy to be here today with a project using brand new items from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog! What's even more exciting is I am hopping with some of my Luv 2 Stamp team members! We are each featuring a bundle from the new annual catalog. You may have just visited Patty Bennett at Patty Stamps, where she featured the Floral Essence bundle. Hop along with all of us!
This bundle was the first one I chose to create with. The more I used it, the more I loved it. The sentiments are perfection! And the best part – it's so simple! I love the clean look, and how the colors pop. I call this Simple Stamping!

The Bloom & Grow stamp set is part of a bundle, pairing perfectly with the Budding Blooms dies. I did not use the dies on this project, but they work so well together, I wanted to share them with you.

To create this card:
- cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" for the base
- cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4" x 5" for the layer
- cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 1" x 3 3/4" for the sentiment
I stamped the florets in Highland Heather ink, than added pops of color with Gorgeous Grape and Pineapple Punch, by carefully inking one floret, and randomly stamping throughout the cluster. To do this, use washi tape or masking tape as a mask on your stamp, or just carefully ink the stamp on the edge of a stamp pad.
I hope you enjoyed today's project! Stop back Monday for a stepped up project featuring this bundle!
Now hop over to Cindee Wilkinson at Just Sponge It for a beautiful project using the To A Wild Rose bundle. Or head back to Patty Bennett at Patty Stamps to see the Floral Essence bundle. You can also visit Kurstan del Rosario at Stamp with Kurstan to see the Come Sail Away bundle.
