Nature's Symphony in Blueberry Bushel

Nature's Symphony Dies + Everyday Arches Dies + Birch Wood Embossing Folder

This weeks featured Stampin' Up! color is Blueberry Bushel. For this design, I've used Blueberry Bushel ink and a blending brush on Basic White cardstock to create the lighter tone of Blueberry Bushel prior to die cutting the branch of leaves. Be sure to check out the inner view of my card as well.

Nature's Symphony Dies + Everyday Arches Dies + Birch Wood Embossing Folder

The Birch Wood embossing folder creates just enough texture to enhance the leaves but not overpower the simplicity of this design.

Gallery Blooms Color Challenge

Gallery Blooms + Everyday Arches + Damask Embossing Folder

Today I created this card as a participant in the March Ink & Inspiration Color Challenge. It's no secret that I like to create floral cards, and these cards really lend themselves to a flower arrangement. Gallery Blooms has been one of my favorite stamp and die bundles for the last year!!

March 2026 Color Challenge

Gallery Blooms + Everyday Arches + Damask Embossing Folder

The Damask embossing folder is so pretty and a creates a beautiful background behind a floral focal point. I used Stampin' Blender Pens to pick up ink from my ink pads to color the flowers and leaves.

I used the Everyday Arches Dies to carry the shape of the focal point on the front and also the inner card.
