Perennial Flowers Create Versatility

Published: Tue, 02/16/21

As you have seen my designs over time, I am sure you have discovered I am more of a clean & simple type of stamper. Some layers, but not overly so. Brights over Subtles or vintage. Rarely do I buy a set for only one purpose or particular image. Versatility is what draws me to sets & dies. Last fall I focused on the Arrange a Wreath bundle for this exact reason (I still love that set & dies). My choice for versatility in this new catalog is Pretty Perennials. Flowers can be used for almost any reason. Vary the colors to create the mood you are trying to express. Use lots of flowers, or only a few. Stamp only or add the cut outs. I love the huge "happy" which can be used on it's own, or paired with the different phrases (I only used a few of the phrases in these examples).

The following cards show how you can make a few changes based on the same template. By using the plaid paper, you can make a floral card masculine. Change up the patterned paper and the ink colors, and you have endless options based on the same layout.

I cut out the birthday on this one because I originally stamped it crooked. Remember, most mistakes can be overcome with a little creativity.

I stamped the inside of the card the same as the outside of the envelope.
