Feel Goods Sunday–A Fun Flower Card
Sometimes you just need a pretty card on your Sunday. This is my contribution to that effort!
I was playing with the idea of doing a triple time stamping card… you know, like this one:
Where you stamp with an extra layer over your cardbase… I have the instructions for this technique written out on this blog post here.
So, I did the same thing with this card. I used the Bloom for You Stamp set in a variety of colors (these were Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, and Crisp Cantaloupe). Then I stamped around the edge of my Whisper White cardbase with an extra piece of Whisper White cardstock in the middle while I was stamping.
I was going to add a solid colored mat behind that middle Whisper White piece and then add a plain whisper white piece to the center, but when I pull it up, I loved the blank space in the middle of the card and how the flowers made a pretty frame! So I went a different route!
I stamped my sentiment from the Feels Good stamp set in the corner and then to help make the edges more defined, I grabbed my Old Olive Stampin’ Write marker and did some doodling/faux stitching around the inside. Turned out to be a great subtle touch.
Finally the last touch it needed was just one more flower, only this time, taking advantage of the fact that you can punch out different parts of the flower and it layers really well! I stamped it in Hello Honey and punched it out. Then punched out a 7/8” scallop circle from Crisp Canteloupe cardstock, then stamped again on scrap paper with Hello Honey and punch out the center with the 3/4” circle punch. Add an Antique Brad to the center and a few Stampin’ Dimensionals and it looks great!

Triple Time Stamping (almost) with Petite Petals
So, I wanted to try a different idea for stamping where I did a background with random stamping and thought the new Petite Petals would be a fun stamp set to do it with.
I’ll admit, I completely did it WRONG but I think I covered up my oops well enough… what do you think?
So, the way this card was a mistake was that the way you’re SUPPOSED to do this technique is:
1. Cut a piece of white cardstock smaller than your card base
2. Hold your smaller piece of cardstock down on your card base and random stamp your images all over the card base AND the smaller piece of cardstock so that some images are stamped across BOTH pieces of paper.
3. Adhere your smaller piece of cardstock to a slightly larger piece of cardstock for a mat to break up the stamped images.
Here is how I stamped it:
1. Random stamp your cardbase with lots of cute images
2. Cut your smaller piece of cardstock
3. Hold your smaller piece of cardstock over the stamped cardbase and realize that some of the images are supposed to overlap
4. PANIC
5. Grab a scrap piece of paper and eyeball stamping the flowers on the smaller piece of cardstock so they look like they were stamped overlapping both pieces of paper.
6. Adhere your smaller piece of cardstock to a mat and call it good enough!
See, it was pretty close for eyeballing, huh?
Then I wanted to add a few more details and started adding bits and pieces.
I started with the sentiment (I LOVE this phrase from the Perfect Pennants stamp set) and then matted it with some extra punches from the decorative label punch.
Then I needed a little more, so I added some paper piercing around the inside of the matted cardstock and a bit of crochet ribbon to add a vintage touch.
And next time… I’ll actually stamp it the right way and it will go sooooo much faster!
