Today’s card is made using the gorgeous Extraordinary Flora stamp set and dies which are still available in my online shop.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the extraordinary flora card using the following supplies:

Petunia Pop card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Summer Splash – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 4½” by 3½”
Basic White – 5¾” by 3½”
Basic White 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. This piece was then glued to the Summer Splash panel and then to the Petunia Pop card front.

From the smallest panel of Basic White card I cut a label using the Beautifully Created Dies.

The sentiment, from the Notes of Spring stamp set was added to the label with Secret Sea ink. The label was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the large floral image onto the Basic White panel measuring 5¾” by 3½” using Secret Sea ink and used the following colours of Blends Pens – Pretty in Pink, Petunia Pop, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Summer Splash, Soft Sea Foam & Old Olive. The images were then die cut using the Extraordinary Flora die.

A sweet birthday card made using ink blending and the Notes of Spring stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Spring Fawn Card

Posted on April 5, 2026April 3, 2026 by Mo Rootes

I made this sweet birthday card using the Notes of Spring stamp set, Stampin’ Up!’s product of the month for March 2026.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the garden Spring fawn using the following supplies:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Garden Green – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

In the centre of a large scrap panel of Basic White card I die cut a circle using the largest of the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes dies. This was placed over the smaller piece of Basic White card to act as a mask, held in place with washi tape. I used a Blending Brush to apply Basic Beige ink to the negative space, slowly building up the colour. The mask was then removed.

The large grassy image was stamped, overlapping, the inked circle with 1^st and 2^nd generation Garden Green ink The smaller grassy image was then stamped using the same ink.
