1 Card, 3 Styles: One simple Card Design becomes fabulous

Today I have a three beautiful card ideas using the same basic card design and the All Things Fabulous stamp set from Stampin' Up! This stamp set lives up to its name - it's absolutely fabulous! It is the perfect rubber stamp set for beginner stampers and advanced stampers as well. It's filled with gorgeous flowers and wonderful sentiments. As a three-step stamping set, it may seem a little daunting for first-time stampers, but the awesome thing about this stamp set is that you don't have to use all three stamps to create a fabulous flower. I have an easy card making idea as well as two more stepped-up card designs. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Easy Card Making Idea

This first card I have to share, is a simple stamping card. This easy card making idea features Melon Mambo flowers with Granny Apple Green leaves. I only used the base stamp for these flowers making this a quick and easy card to whip up. to finish, I added a few of the Iridescent Pearls from the 2020 August - December Mini Catalog.

Intermediate Card Design in Mango Melody

My second card is a little more intricate, but still pretty quick and easy. I used the Stamparatus to stamp the flowers in Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody making it easier to line up the three stamps. While I was at it, I stamped the flowers for the next card as well since the Stamparatus makes it easy to quickly stamp multiples. You'll want to watch the video to see how I die cut the flowers first and then stamped them. I also show how to do the heat embossing for the sentiment on this card.

Advanced Card Making Idea In Flirty Flamingo

My final card of the three is the most intricate. It's not really any harder to make, it just has more parts and pieces and takes a little more time. In the video, I shared how I used the Stamparatus to help layout the placement of the leaves under the die-cut flowers. This is a great way to get the placement just right. I also show how to heat emboss with dye inks. With the Stamparatus, you can use the Classic Stampin' Pads for heat embossing. It's pretty cool!

Even more fabulous cards with the All Things Fabulous stamp set. I just couldn't stop myself! I made three more cards using a color combination of Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, and Granny Apple Green. 

Like the previous examples, each card becomes more intricate.

And, I just really couldn't stop. I made one more using Petal Pink, So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Highland Heather. This card is similar to one of the original designs, but I pushed it even farther. I distressed the edges, added splatters, and inserted a layer of Petal Pink cardstock embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. To finish it off, I added some gold cord and a few Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels. This card idea is truly fabulous!
