The flower image is pretty huge… approximately 2.75″ x 2.5″ so it’s prefect as a focal point in any card design. Below you will find 5 ways on how to use this stamp set.

I just love the sentiments from the One Day At A Time stamp set… such uplifting messages!!! The sentiment was stamped on vellum using Versamark Ink and Rose Gold Embossing powder. 2 stitched rectangle scallop frames were die cut from teal cardstock and the following were stuck to each other: frame, transparency, vellum, frame. These served as the cover of the shadow box. Foam tape was placed on the edges of the frame and adhered to the floral panel then was adhered to a side folding A2 card front.

This see-through card was inspired by the amazing Jennifer Mcguire. You can check out her tutorial for this type of card here. I went ahead and stamped several of the BAF Camelia Japonica flower
The images were arranged to cover a 5.5” x 4.25” cardstock. I made sure that the flowers and leaves were somehow connected to each other. When I was happy with the arrangement, I used

MATERIALS:
- STAMP AND DIE: Build-A-Flower: Camellia Japonica Stamp and Die set
- Crisp dye Inks sets: Lapiz Lazuli and Tropical forest Sets
- Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder
- .5 black drawing pen
- Versamark Ink

I wanted to make a card that was easy to assemble. Since I already had extra stamped flowers, this card was finished in 5 minutes. The 3 flowers were arranged on opposite corners of the A2 top folding card front. The sentiment from the same stamp set was embossed using Rose Gold embossing powder. A gold mat was created by inking the paper with Versamark Ink then embossing it with the same embossing powder. The sentiment and flowers were adhered to the card front using foam tape. A black border was hand-drawn to frame the card. Such a quick and easy card to create!
THINKING OF YOU CARD
MATERIALS:
- STAMPS: Build-A-Flower: Camellia Japonica Stamp, Book Club and Dainty Swiss Dots for the sentiment
- DIES: Fine Frames Cover Die, Book Club Die
- Enchanted Garden and Sea Shore Crisp Dye Ink Sets
- Altenew Artist Markers set B and D
- Altenew Rose Gold Embossing Powder
- Neenah Solar White Cardstock, Orange cardstock
- Misti Stamping Tool
- Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue
- Versamark Ink
- Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares
For this card, I wanted to change up the flower a little bit. I stamped the flower image twice using the Enchanted Garden and the Sea Shore Crips Dye Ink sets following the layering guide. After this, I layered them on top of each other and secured both with a post-it tape so that the layers won’t move when I simultaneously trim them into strips. Once the strips were cut, I used the die cut of the flower as a base to assemble the alternate strips of the flower. I don’t know why but it somehow makes the flower look 3D. 🙂
Next, the image from the Book Club stamp set was embossed using Versamark Ink and Rose Gold embossing powder. The following artist makers from set D were used to color the flowers using the flicking technique: B802, B714 and B815. The leaves were colored with Artist markers set B:R702, R823. The card front of an orange A2 card base was cut diagonally. Both die cuts where attached diagonally as well. I framed the white cardstock with the Fine Frames Die Set which was heat embossed with Rose Gold Embossing powder to match the other floral image. Finally, the sentiment from the Swiss Dots was also stamped and embossed.
