Getting to know Blackberry Bliss ink
The Blackberry Bliss colour is from Stampin’ Ups!® Neutral colour family, having recently moved from the Regals collection during the Stampin’ Up! colour refresh. For some this came as a surprise due to its deep, rich colour, but I can see how being a neutral makes sense because of its ability to add depth and dimension to your card.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating an eye-catching birthday card that is too special to throw away.
What You Need
- Stamps/Bundles: Sentimental Park, Petal Park
- Inks: Blackberry Bliss ink pad & refill, Old Olive ink pad
- Paper: Basic White
- Other: Water painters, multipurpose glue, Stampin’ dimensionals
Creating a beautiful background
Add a drop of Blackberry Bliss ink to an acrylic stamping block. Pick up some of the ink with a water painter and then tap a splatter background onto the thick Basic White card base.
Stamp leaves in Old Olive ink across the top middle section and again along the bottom middle section.
Stamp the large leaf image in Old Olive onto scrap Basic White card stock.
Adhere a piece of Basic White card stock that has torn edges for added interest.
Stamping and Embellishing with Blackberry Bliss
Stamp the flower cluster outline in Blackberry Bliss in the space of the large leaf image. Using second generation stamping, stamp the petals. Repeat to create a couple of extra flowers to adhere for dimension.
Fussy cut the leaf and flower images.
Sentiments and finishing touches
Stamp Happy Birthday in Blackberry Bliss on the torn paper strip.
Adhere the fussy cut leaf and flower image with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.
Fill some of the white space with more flowers using multipurpose glue.

Amie, I love the way you’ve used Blackberry Bliss at both full strength and stamped off – your flowers are so pretty!
CHRISTINE BLAIN says
You’ve made Blackberry Bliss look really beautiful, Amie! I love the splatters in the background, and the soft prettiness of the “stamped off” flowers. The torn panel is an eye-catching touch to your card – nice idea!

A lovely card Amie, that showcases the softer side of Blackberry Bliss, and lots of lovely white space too.

Love the softness of the second generation stamping, Amie. Those splatters add wonderful interest; it’s such a great technique that I find I’m using a lot more of too!
Sharon Davern says
This is a beautiful card Amie, I love the 2 depths of colour of the flowers created by stamping off. Love the tone paper across the centre. Lovely! The splatters are very effective too!
