How to Stamp Blossoms in Bloom with Stamparatus:

I was making 60+ of these cards so I used the Stamparatus for 2 reasons: 1) create these cards quickly, and 2) if I didn’t stamp it perfectly I was able to ink the image again for great results every time!

Step 1: ink the large floral image from Blossoms in Bloom with Seaside Spray ink

Step 2: add some Night of Navy ink to the center of each flower with a Sponge Dauber

Step 3:  press down on Whisper White cardstock, lift Stamparatus plate and check for good image, press down again or ink again if needed

Step 4: on side plate of Stamparatus, add small flowers and leaves, ink in Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green, press down and stamp over blue flower image

(not shown: I moved the small flowers and leaves and stamped them again for a total of 4 small flowers and 4 leaves total)

Above & Below:  I decided that I could get twice as many cards if I used a card design with a tall narrow image, so I cut my Whisper White stamped panels in 1/2 and made double the number of cards!!

Funny Story:  After I created these a couple weeks ago, I showed them to my friend Kurstan, and she said, “Oh that’s the Jennifer McGuire technique”…. umm.. it is?  Sure enough.. she had a similar idea on her blog recently!  I was just trying to get twice as many cards for customer thank you cards and I wanted to use this fun fold idea.. it worked perfect!! 🙂

My supplies for this Blossoms in Bloom card included greetings from the new Forever Fern stamp set, stamped in Mango Melody on Stitched Shape circles.  I used a Night of Navy circle (you can punch 2″ circles or use the Layering Circle dies to get desired size) to mat the White circle before adding them to my cards.

I first saw this fun fold card idea at a retreat I attended last February hosted by Amy Combes.  I love this idea!  I also added some Bumblebee Gingham ribbon to this card, and some new Misty Moonlight enamel dots.
