Hi and welcome to Mitosu Crafts UK, thanks for stopping by. It's Jay here, currently on a cruise with Barry heading to Norway but I wanted to join in with the Stamp Review Crew to showcase the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set
You may have arrived here from My Papercraft Journey by Kelly Kent or started here, either way be sure to check out all the crew's creations by clicking the 'Next Blog' button at the end of this post
I managed to create 2 cards with the Beautiful Bouquet to share with you today. The first card uses the co-ordinating Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies with the new colours added to Stampin' Up!'s color collections
I die cut the stems and used it as a guide for stamping the small flowers (Soft Sea Foam & Mango Melody) and leaves (Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce) on the card base. I die cut the flower clusters in Whisper White and coloured in Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather with Aqua Painters
The larger flowers were stamped in Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick then die cut before arranging on top. Vellum, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla card stock were also used with Linen Thread to finish the card
For the 2nd card, I wanted to incorporate one of the new stamp sets from the Annual Catalogue and settled with the Swirly Frames which we received at OnStage back in April
I created a circle mask using the Layering Circles Framelits and sponged Soft Sea Foam on Whisper White card, stamped the flowers and leaves before taking off the sticky note. Other colours used on the cardbase were Lemon Lime Twist and Coastal Cabana
Once the mask was off, I stamped the circle frame in Crumb Cake ink and the straight with dotted lines from the Swirly Frames set in Mint Macaron ink. I die cut the flower clusters again then coloured in Mint Macaron and Gorgeous Grape
To keep most of the topper white, I decided to insert the die cuts in between the Whisper White layer and the Mint Macaron mat. Finished off with the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape, die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits
Well that's the 2 card ideas from me. Make sure you hop all the way around to see the crew's creative projects using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. Don't forget to come back and order any Stampin' Up! products from Mitosu Crafts' UK Online Shop or from your local Stamp Review Crew Design Team

Gorgeous bouquets on your cards!
ReplyDeleteFun cards! The bouquet could rival any bride's bouquet and I love your combo of stamps on the "thank you"!
ReplyDeleteWOW! WOW! WOW! That bouquet card is fantastic, perfect layering.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Jay, these cards are stunning. So many lovely colors blended together.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are beautiful and amazing! I love the detail of the little "for you" card tucked in the bouquet. The layout of the thank you card is super cute. Can't wait to try that color combo of the Mint Macaroon and the Gorgeous Grape. I'm curious about how you got your blog name? Did one of you go to MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the other go to Oklahoma State University?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning colours in both cards Jay. I love the spray effect of the second card - such clever design work! Kelly x
