Scalloped Blooms Retro Cards
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month we’re celebrating our Favorites from the Catalog—the stamps, dies, papers, and embellishments we can’t stop reaching for! Whether you’re adding to your wish list or looking for a fresh idea to create with supplies you already own, we hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration along the way.
When I first saw the new catalog in Sydney, Australia, my favorite product was the Scalloped Blooms Bundle. I love flowers, polka dots, bright and happy cards, stitching, and anything that’s fun—this bundle checks every box on my must-have list!
I sat down with the Scalloped Blooms Bundle, the Stylish Shapes Dies (because you can never have too many stitched circles!), and started with Basic Black, Real Red, and Basic White. I knew I wanted to use white heat embossing on Basic Black cardstock and tie everything together with the Real Red & Basic White Twine.
Next, I added Daffodil Delight because, to me, flowers and happiness are yellow. Then, with a little help from a friend, I added Pool Party. Suddenly I had the perfect retro color palette!
From there, I challenged myself to use as many of the dies and stamps as possible while simply having fun creating. I had a blast! It reminded me of when I first started making cards—playing with new supplies, experimenting with colors, and seeing where my creativity would take me.
Sometimes it’s good to go back to your roots. Cardmaking is meant to be fun, creative, and a wonderful way to brighten someone’s day.
I’d love to hear from you! Which card is your favorite? Please leave a comment below and let me know. Your comments always brighten my day! If these cards inspire you, I’d love for you to save this post to Pinterest or share it with a crafty friend!
