Hi all and welcome to the very first day of Flourishes Sneak Peeks for JUNE! It’s exciting because the sets being revealed this week aren’t just unique for June — they are part of an entire collection of stamp sets that will be released over the next year! It’s called the Blossom Collection and each set released under this name will be designed to coordinate with the other pieces for all types of occassions! Use one set on it’s own or slowly add to the collection — that’s the beauty of it!
Today’s set is the first part of this collection and features beautiful blooms perfect for summer!
Part of The Blossoms Collection, this beautiful array of summer blossoms illustrated by Marcella Hawley features a bouquet, corner stamps, and pieces to create your own borders or frames. Add in a trio of all occasion sentiments and you have the perfect set to create cards for every day correspondence. Set measures 4 by 6″ and is the perfect companion to sister sets Happily Ever After SS199 and Letters in Blossom SS198. If you like what you see, this set is available for pre-order now, just click HERE!
The design team has been busy creating beautiful things with this stunning set!
I stamped the big floral image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, colored it in Copic Markers (Yellow flowers: Y13, Y15, Y17, YR16, YR18, E97, w3, E29 Red Flowers: R20, R21, R22, YR16, E97 Berries: R24, R29, R29 Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17 Shading: C00, C3). The image was cut and embossed with the largest of the Classic Oval Nestabilities die and the edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
It was adhered to a piece of Kraft cardstock, which was cut free hand into a slightly larger oval layer. The layers were adhered to a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest of the Floral Oval Nestabilities dies.
Two pieces of My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found 2 Rosy patterned paper were cut and embossed with the second smallest Grand Rectangle Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before May Arts ribbon was tied around the horizontal strip and topped with a button. The layer was then adhered to the card base, white cardstock, cut and embossed with a second smallest Grand Scallop Rectangle die.
A sentiment from Summer Blossoms was stamped in Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Fancy Tag One die. The embossed parts of the tag were sponged and the sentiment was adhered to the lower right of the image. Rhinestones finish off the card.

WOW, I am in LOVE with this card, and the stamp. So SO Pretty, Beate! Your work never ceases to amaze me. Love the beautiful bouquet and the gorgeous layering. Awesome!! {hugs}
Absolutely love the shaped cards you’ve been creating lately. I tried your method on the weekend with a romantic rectangle and couldn’t get the folded one to cut all the way through. I’ll try again. Love the colours you chose here. Beautiful colouring always.
Hi Beth,
Your cardstock might be too thick. I use Neenah Crest Solar White for my card bases (80lbs). If you are using anything thicker, it’s hard to cut through two layers (folded card base). Even with Neenah cardstock, I sometimes have to run it through my machine two or three times, turning the die as I go, especially with intricate design dies. This way different edges are on the sides when the dies are being cut. It seems there is a bit more pressure on the sides then in the center when cutting with the Grand Calibur.
Absolutely stunning – as always!!
Beate,
These blooms are beautiful. Love the papers, dies and coloring.
God bless,
Peggy
These blossom letters are absolutely beautiful. I can see them on a set of cards to send to a friend with her initial on them. Thanks for sharing.
