Simon Says Stamp | One Layer Floral Cards 4 Ways. Video (Blog Hop + Giveaway)

Floral stamping is what got me hooked up on stamping on handmade cards in the first place and it’s kind of been awhile since I last just stamped some simple one layer cards without any tricks or techniques. I’ve missed that and decided to stamp a few super simple cards today.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

As always, I filmed a video tutorial showing how to create this project from start to finish. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy it. Watch it below or on my Youtube channel.

CARD DETAILS

I picked So Loved stamp set by Simon Says Stamp for my cards as this is one of the perfect stamp sets for beginner and experienced stampers alike. It’s a large 6×8 set with many beautiful big sentiments as well as some bold florals. Most images in here have a solid and an outline layer giving me a whole lot of options when stamping.

The colors I used for my cards are the following: Rosie Cheeks, Hollyhock, Rose Apple (later replaced with Watermelon on some cards), Catkin, Cloudy Sky, Seafoam and Sunkist.

I decided I was going to go old school and stamp using my clear blocks only and not use my stamp platform. Why? Well, because when you use a stamp platform while you do get better results, there’s no doubt there, you also get slowed down. I didn’t want to spend twice as much time stamping these using a MISTI, I wanted to get things done and I wanted them done quickly.

I stamped 4 types of cards/layouts using same images & ink colors. All of these are very similar but also different just a bit. Be sure to watch my video for details and close ups!

    1. These are all so beautiful. I’m a bit partial to wreaths so I love that one best. 🙂

    1. Great card set – all of the cards are very pretty!! I agree about not wanting to be slowed down, especially when the words are the focal point and the flowers the supporting actors.

    1. these are all absolutely gorgeous, the colours are fantastic, and I am in love with this stamp set, which always helps 😉 Not entirely sure if just “thank” makes sense as a sentiment, but I’ll leave that to the native speakers… I am not one of them! 😉

    1. These are beautiful! I was inspired by your last video to pull out some of my floral sets and have a go at making a background, and it worked out pretty well. I do love this set, though. It’s on my wish list.

      Thank you.

    1. I love that you created 4 different look cards at one time. i have some floral sets that would be perfect for this technique, but I love this set too! Thanks for always inspiring in beautiful ways!
