You may have just arrived here or maybe you came from Wendy's blog. Click on the icon at the end of each post to see all of the posts this month.
The Heartfelt Blooms Sale-a-Bration stamp set was the first one I had to play with. The gorgeous detail on this stamped image is incredible!
I chose to stamp the left card in Elegant Eggplant and sponged a bit of Rich Razzleberry ink on some of the flowers. The right card is stamped with Sweet Sugarplum ink. Simply stamped in one color of ink and oh so pretty! Look at the details on this image!
I used our new 1/4" Organza White ribbon on both cards. I sponged the ribbon with Sweet Sugarplum ink on the right card.
Measurements:
- Whisper White card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Whisper White stamped layer 3 3/8" X 4 1/4"
- Whisper White greeting banners - 7/8" X 2 1/4" & 1" X 2 1/4"
- Eggplant & Sugarplum layers 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

My next project features this same beautiful Heartfelt Blooms stamp set for a desktop easel calendar.
Above on the left is the front with the calendar and I did include a stamped layer for the back too. I chose to use Flirty Flamingo ink, card stock and ribbon here. This project is for a Team swap coming up after Christmas. I used the tutorial our own Freak, Kelly Acheson created for Splitcoaststampers.
Measurements:
- Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- White stamped layers 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
- Flirty Flamingo layers 4" X 5 1/4"
It's a simple A2 card with a second 4" square easel piece inserted to the inside base of each end on the card. Here's a photo of it.
It's 4" square and you score it at 1/2", 2" & 3 1/2". Adhere it to the inside bottom of the card. I love it since it still fits in a standard A2 envelope for mailing. I had ordered my calendars online .
During our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion you can earn this stamp set (and lots of other products) absolutely free with a $50 order from January through March!

I especially love the Heartfelt Blooms card you did in Eggplant and Rich Razzleberry. Could you explain how you sponged with the Rich Razzleberry? Did you sponge after you stamped or did you sponge onto the stamp before you stamped the design? Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

LeeAnn, the Sweet Sugarplum card just took my breath away. WOW! So elegant. Both of these are perfect for sympathy cards, which I've needed too often lately.
