What no Vases ?...Vibrant Vases alternative card

I dont know about you but I like to get my money worth from my stamp sets. I always look for versatility when I am purchasing and don't like a one trick pony. One super versatile stamp set is the Vibrant Vases. Let me tell you why this set is so super awesome.....

So the set in the second in the vases theme. The first is Varied Vases which was brought out accompanied by the vase builder punch, then came Vibrant vase. All the work together to create a huuuge combination of card possibilities. Mine is just one variation.

So I have not one vase her rather I used one of the flower bunch stamps to create a pretty dual border effect. I added Calypso coral and granny apple green to the stamp using my markers. Then added extra colour using my blender pens.

The die for the sentiment comes from stitched labels... my all time favourite ! Tiny iridescent flower sequins dotted about add a subtle sparkle to finish the card off. Simple but pretty.

I hope you enjoyed this pretty card and will have a closer look at some of your stamp sets to find alternative used for them.

Vibrant vases thank you card.

The most popular type of card I make and send out is thank you cards. I send HEAPS every month to customers and crafty friends. Therefore, I am always thinking of new cards to send. Today's card is a pretty one and so easy to make in very little time with the help of Vibrant Vases stamp set and vase builder punch from Stampin' Up. Come closer let me tell you more...….

Vibrant Vases is a super versatile set as it co-ordinates with our Varied vases stamp and Vases builder punch, so all three work together. Having both sets or even one gives you a heap of card possibilities. The punch allows you to punch out the cute vase shapes too which makes for precise shapes and speedier crafting. I love co-ordinating stamps and punches they make my life easier.

I stamped my choice of blooms onto a die cut shape from Stitched labels and carefully coloured them with water colour pencils. I find colouring so relaxing. I used a small strip of Pool party designer series paper from the subtles 6 x 6 stack, and some glitter enamel dots to pull out the colours, using just one vase punched in Petal pink to give a contrast.

Popping the vases up on dimensionals makes them look 3d, and really finished the card of perfectly. A super easy card to make I hope you will give this one a try for yourself.

As always all the products used today will be listed below for you to shop with ease.

Have a fantastic Sunday and ...
