Pretty Perennials Card Tutorial

February 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

Hi Friends! I love making cards that are quick and easy but oh so pretty! The card I’m sharing with you today fits that description perfectly. The beauty of this card design is that any flower and leaf stamp(s) would work, but today I’m showcasing our lovely Pretty Perennials stamp set.

This stamp set is also part of a bundle with dies too:

I think you’ll enjoy making today’s card! Try it using other colours and with the different sentiments included in the stamp set. You could make a beautiful gift set for someone special in no time at all!

Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla: 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”, 5” x 3 3/4”
  • Highland Heather: 5 1/4” x 4”

Instructions:

  1. Score and fold larger piece of Very Vanilla cardstock in half to create cardbase, set aside.
  2. On smaller piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp “happy” in Highland Heather towards bottom right; stamp “mail” in Balmy Blue underneath
  3. Ink largest flower in Highland Heather, stamp off on scrap paper then stamp onto cardstock (“second generation image”). Repeat, surrounding the words with 5-6 images.
  4. Stamp smaller flower in Balmy Blue onto cardstock, varying first and second generation images, filling in spaces.
  5. Add leaf image in Pear Pizzazz, continuing to fill in gaps as desired, varying first and second generation images.
  6. Adhere this stamped cardstock onto the Highland Heather cardstock, then onto cardfront.
  7. Add Opal Rounds randomly as desired.

I joined Stampin' Up! the first night they arrived in Canada, April 2002, and what a ride it's been! At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…
