Sneak Peek - Pretty Florals

 When I attended Stampin' UP!'s OnStage convention two weeks ago I won a Prize Patrol (where we win a prize depending on a number preprinted on our name badge).  And I received a new, upcoming stamp set called Pretty Florals.  I had just watched a demonstration of someone making cards using the set, and I was thrilled to get my hands on one.

So when I needed a thank you card for a customer, I thought I would take Pretty Florals for a spin:


I started by cutting a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamping the flower image directly on it.  I used Shy Shamrock for the stem/leaves and the new Strawberry Slush for the flowers.  It's a two-step process; I first stamped the "filler" after stamping off the inked stamp, and then I inked up the detailed flower image and stamped it using full-strength ink.  


The simplicity of this card doesn't take away from how pretty it is!  All I needed to do was to mount my stamped image over a piece of the coordinating Florals in Bloom designer series paper and add a greeting.


Pretty Florals has coordinating dies, but I didn't even use them for this lovely card.  I'll save that for another day.

Pretty Florals will be released May 6th with the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog.  Mark your calendar and get ready to get your hands on this lovely floral stamp set!
