#simplestamping – Tina Newberry Designs

Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team member, Yvonne Spikman, was so clever to use the boater from the kayak stamp with the rowboat from the Adventurous Journey stamp set and diorama die cuts for the water! I used her general design with a bit of creative liberty to make this card design my own. Sometimes the most relaxing card making comes from re-creating something beautiful someone else made. CASE=Copy and Share Everything.

Don’t make crafting an “oar-deal”—discover new designs and ideas with the Adventurous Journey Stamp Set! Celebrate birthdays, new beginnings, and more with the adventurers in your life.

Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
Run the 5 1/4″ h x 4″ w Basic White Cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Split Card Textures.
Stamp the Pot, Flowers, Stems, and Tag on Basic White Cardstock scrap:
1. Pot: Stamp the fill image in Crumb Cake ink and the shade image in Soft Suede ink. Take your time to line it up.
2. Flowers: Stamp the fill image in Sweet Sorbet and the detail image in Real Read ink. I stamped 3 of these for fuller blossoms.
3. Stem: Stamp the outline image in Old Olive and the fill image in Parakeet Party ink.
4. Tag: Stamp in Starry Sky ink.
Die cut the pot, flowers, stems and tag.
Time to assemble! Yes already. I told you this was easy.

2. Attach the die cut Basic White Cardstock scrap using Stampin’ Seal.
3. To assemble the flower… use Mini Glue Dots.
  1. Attach the stems to the back of the pot
  2. Attach one set of flowers to the top of the stems.
  3. Attach the Just For You with a Mini Glue Dot.
  4. At this point, set your flower pot on the die cut Basic White on the card. Get an idea of where you want the pot and then stamp the Pot Shadow in Crumb Cake Ink.
  5. Set your flower pot back on the card and tuck the two remaining flowers into place behind. Attach these with Stampin’ Seal.
  6. Now attach your flower pot with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I did not use gems on this cards, but wouldn’t some Rhinetone Basic Gems, Basic Pearls or maybe even Red Rhinestones? Sprinkle some on!
Stamp and decorate the inside.
Decorate your envelope. Maybe stamp the flower on the front of the card or decorate the flap with some more DSP. So pretty.
