Flowers Fair Layering Tip

| Leave a comment
Stampin' UP! Flowers Fair slimline cards. Two handmade cards with red and pink flowers, green leaves, and red borders. One card has a blue background and reads “Thinking of you.” The other has a white background and reads “Thanks for your thoughtfulness.” Markers are on the right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I was thinking about the California Poppies here in our area when I selected my Stampin’ Blends Color Combo for these slimline cards featuring the new Flowers Fair stamp. Instead of using it on a standard size card front, I stamped it twice side by side on a Basic White cardstock strip to make a Slimline Card (dimensions below).

Please enjoy these Stampin’ Blends marker color combos I suggested for the Stampin’ Up! Flowers Fair stamp during my weekly live crafting video last week! Reminder: Stampin’ Up! suggests using Basic White cardstock and a Memento Black ink pad for stamping!

Slimline Card dimensions:

  • For the red & white card: 7-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Real Red card base, score at 3-3/4″ and fold in 1/2. Cut a 3-1/2″ x 8-1/4″ Basic White cardstock piece for the front layer (to stamp).
  • For Balmy Blue background card: Thick Basic White, cut at 7-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score and fold in half at 3-3/4″. Real Red layer: 3-1/2″ x 8-1/4″. Basic White layer: 3-1/4″ x 8″, stamp and trim around tops of flowers.
  • Use a business size envelope (#10)

Here are the 2 color combos I used for the slimline cards featured above!

A hand holds a slim, rectangular card decorated with red and pink hand-colored flowers, green leaves, and a “Thanks for your thoughtfulness” sentiment. A list of Stampin’ Blends marker color combos and the PattyStamps.com logo are also visible in the image. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Same color combo, but color between the flowers with Balmy Blue, and trim above the flowers to layer onto the Balmy Blue cardstock layer.

A handmade card with red and pink flowers and green leaves on a blue background. The card reads “Thinking of you.” Stampin’ Blends markers in similar colors are beneath. A label lists the colors: Cherry Cobbler, Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
Two blue cards with hand-colored floral designs in black and white are shown. A black marker, blue highlighter, and black scissors sit nearby. Instructions for the craft process are written on a note at the top center of the image. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Another layered Flowers Fair Version:

A hand holds a handmade card featuring yellow, blue, and white flowers with green leaves on a blue background. Above, there are Stampin’ Blends markers and a card listing color combos: Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock.

I hope you enjoyed the video tutorial on March 6th, featuring the new Stampin’ Up! Flowers Fair stamp and my Stampin’ Blends marker tips!

I really loved this idea for trimming around the tops of the stamped flowers, coloring between the flowers, and adding it to colored cardstock! The blues and yellows are so pretty together!

A handmade card features stamped and colored blue and yellow flowers, fussy cut and glued on blue cardstock. Behind it are alcohol markers and a stamped, uncolored floral panel. A text overlay gives instructions for making the card. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Today we are looking at the 3 new embossing folders: Ladybug Picnic, Lazy Daisy, and the Paradise Garden hybrid embossing folder. I’m also sharing a link to the Stone & Vine embossing folder since I had only recently used it and highlighted it in my 2/27/26 video.
