Hello and welcome to December’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where the theme this month is our favourite from the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I have chosen to use the stunning stamp set called Bloom by Bloom to make my card. I love all the bold floral images in this set and chose to stamp with some bright Spring like colours.
Making the card
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅞” by 3½”. I die cut a circle from the Layering Circles Framelit Dies, placed it on the Whisper White layer partially hanging off and lightly drew round it to help with the placement of the flowers.

I stamped the leaves and flowers starting with the largest images and ending with the smallest one which were used to infill. I used Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Blueberry Bushel inks for the stamping. I added the stamped panel to a Flirty Flamingo panel 4” by 3⅝” having rounded the upper left corner of both panels. I erased the light pencil drawn circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Life stamp set in Granny Apple Green onto the die cut Whisper White circle. I used a couple of the small flowers to decorate the circle before adding it to a slightly larger Blueberry Bushel scalloped circle die cut using the same die set. I trimmed off the right side of the circle with my Trimmer and added it to the stamped layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and placed a large scrap of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and tilted it at an angle until it looked right, I turned the card over and trimmed off the excess. The Blueberry Bushel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the stamped panel added on top with the same glue. To finish off the card I added a scattering of Basic Rhinestones.
Such a pretty card, I am really happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it.
