If you’ve followed me for very long, you know how much I love flowers.. flower cards, flower stamps, flowers in my garden, flowers in a vase…. and of course, coloring them with my Stampin’ Blends markers. Thanks for joining me yesterday as I shared some tips for making these Poised Peony cards.
My design was inspired by my friend Margi, and you can see her card in the video, and my versions and color combos below!
TIP: I always “swatch” my Stampin’ Blends colors for a couple reasons:
- to remember which colors I used
- to save any favorite color combos
- because sometimes the colors surprise me, and a shade will be darker or lighter than I anticipated

Each card uses the same basic layers:
- base card 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ folded in half at 4-1/4
- 4″ x 5-1/4″ white layer stamped around the edges with the smaller peony image
- Basic Black deckled rectangle about 3″ x 4-1/4″
- white top layer: 2-3/4″ X 4″
- Use Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker to draw border around larger white layer
- stamp all images in Memento Black ink and color with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers
I think this pink and black color combo turned out to be my favorite. How about you?

Beautiful cards!! Good ideas! You helped me! Thank you so much
Thank you!!
I know this may be an odd question, but I was wondering if there is a place on your blog, that tells what you buy at The Container store? Thank you
I do have one post with all of my craft room organizing links.. hopefully this might help. Not a list of just Container Store, but you’ll find lots of tips on these posts. You might also type Container Store in the search box on my blog.. hopefully posts will come up. https://pattystamps.com/how-i-organize-my-craft-room-with-patty-bennett
Beautiful Patty, love all the colors you used. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
