Hello, and welcome to the Best Days Collection Release Blog Hop from Simon Says Stamp! If you came from the fabulous Amy Kolling’s blog, you are right on track!
For today’s project, I decided to go with very clean and simple(?) design to show off the gorgeous images from the Bold Flowers Stamp Set.
I started by stamping various images from Bold Flowers Stamp Set on a piece of white cardstock using several ink colors from Simon Says Stamp Premium Dye Ink Collection.
Here is the list of ink pads I used.
- Flowers: Clementine, Teeny Bikini, Lemon Zing, Hot Mama, and Holly Hock
- Leaves: Key Lime and Fern
After adding tiny dots in the center of my flowers using a black pen, I die my images using coordinating dies from the Bold Flowers Die Set and Spellbinders Platinum Diecut Machine.
Next, I cut woodgrain white cardstock into 4.25″ x 5.5″ using Tim Holtz paper trimmer and mounted it on the A2 size top folding white card base using Altenew glue tape. Then I mounted my die cut flowers and leaves on the card front using 3M foam tape to add dimension.
I stamped the sentiment from the Hello You Stamp Set with Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink on a piece of white cardstock and heat embossed it with Altenew Antique Gold Embossing Powder.
I trimmed my sentiment into a thin strip using a craft knife and ruler and mounted the sentiment banner in the middle of my floral arrangement using foam tape to finish off my card.
Video Tutorial
I made a video tutorial to show you how to create a floral arrangement card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube. This video includes:
- What to do first when you don’t have any special ideas for your card design
- How to choose a right type of card base that matches with your card design.
- How to arrange your die cuts to build a floral bouquet as a focal point of your card
- How to choose a right sentiment that works well with your card design
- Behind-the-scenes of my craft desk – I hope you relate to my messy desk! 😉
I created another card with the same design but different card base. This time I used Altenew Woodgrain Bark Cardstock for my card base. Which one do you like more? White or Brown? Please leave a comment below – I’d love to hear from you.
For my second card, I used the sentiment from the Handwritten Love Stamp Set. Don’t you just love all of these bright colors?
I almost added some clear droplets on the background, but I’m glad I didn’t to keep the clean and simple look of my card design.

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My website has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it
looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the
internet without my agreement. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being ripped off?
I’d certainly appreciate it.

I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me
tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my
hunt for something concerning this.
