I created three cards with this stamp using Florentine paper pack (X7153B). I love this paper so much I had to get two packs! I thought Florentine was just perfect for this stamp! Here are my three cards. Keep scrolling down, I will also show each one separately.
First my favorite of the three....
This is a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 square card. I used Olive cardstock to mat my papers. I LOVE the stripe paper from this pack. I used the smaller flourish (pictured above) to create my center flower. Each time I stamped the flourish, I stamped on top of the left tip angling the stamp to form 'petals'. I used ribbon from the Cocoa Designer Ribbon Collection (Z1316) and a button from the Bohemian Assortment (Z1687).
This card is a 5x7 card. I used my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the circle and then stamped with Cocoa ink. I cut another circle just 1/4" larger from Twilight cardstock. I added Mocha Opaque Adhesive Gems (Z1333). The wide cocoa ribbon is also from the Cocoa Designer Ribbon Collection.
The idea for this 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card came to me one night as I was getting ready for bed. (That happens to me all the time - and then I worry about remembering it the next day!) Again, I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut the circle for the stamp image in the center. I centered it on top of 2 flourishes that I stamped directly on the paper. My "Together" banner is adhered across the larger flourish. And here, I used more of the Cocoa Designer Ribbon Collection!
REMEMBER! This stamp is available only from March 1 - March 31 for just $5 when you purchase $50 or more in Close To My Heart products!
