I am joining in with the Art With Heart Team’s Colour Creations Blog Hop with this Gorgeously Made Lemon Lolly thinking of you card.
The Lemon Lolly colour is a new addition to Stampin’ Ups!® Subtles colour family and is our focus for today’s hop.
I have gone with a simple card, stamping the card base with the background stamp, a few layers of patterned paper and die cut flowers.
What You Need
- Stamps/Bundles: Gorgeously Made bundle, Sentimental Park
- Inks: Lemon Lolly
- Paper: Lemon Lolly, Pretty Peacock, Bright & Beautiful patterned paper, Basic White card stock
- Other: Brushed Brass Butterfly embellishments, Bakers Twine
Gorgeously Made Card Recipe
- Begin with a Lemon Lolly card base (29.5 cm x 10.5 cm). Stamp the background writing stamp randomly over the card base.
- Cut a piece of Basic White 7.5 cm x 14.8 cm.
- Using Lemon Lolly reinker place one drop of ink onto a clear stamp block. Add a few drops of water to the ink and mix using a water painter.
- Load up the water painter with ink and tap over the Basic White to achieve a dappled background.
- Die cut from Pretty Peacock card stock two notebook edge pieces.
- Adhere to the back of the Basic White card stock.
- Cut a piece of patterned paper 7.5 cm x 3 cm and adhere across the middle of the Basic White card stock.
- Stamp three of the Gorgeously Made leaf images onto Basic White card stock and fussy cut. Tie the stems with a piece of Baker’s Twine.
- Stamp the sentiment Just For on the top left of the patterned paper, following the edge. Then stamp You at the bottom left following the edge of the paper.
- Using a glue dot and some multi-purpose glue adhere the flowers to the card front.
- Randomly adhere the Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front.
Thank you for stopping by today. I am excited to explore ways you can save time and organise your card making supplies so that busy card makers like you can make more cards, more often. That’s what it means to be ‘eager to stamp’!

So pretty, Amie! I love the stamped background, the placement (and your choice) of the sentiment, and that the tiny butterflies are a lovely complement to the featured leafy stems. 🙂

Lovely card Amie, the layers are really pretty and come together so well.

Oh I do like, as others have said, the way you have created your background base. Very effective. The Pretty Peacock book edges are a great choice to frame the centre panel.
Rachel Palmieri says
That strip of paper across the middle caught my eye. It looks a lot like bokeh dots!
Kate Morgan says
Love your use of different products to create such a bright and happy card, Amie. The subtle background stamping is a lovely compliment to all your beautiful layers.

Gorgeous card Amie, I love the stamped background and the Pretty Peacock edging. I am needing this bundle now too! Love how you stamped the sentiment either side of the DSP that was effective! Lovely bundle of foliage too to add depth. Lovely Card!
