Stamp Review Crew: Potted Geraniums

Hello! Welcome to the first Stamp Review Crew blog hop of the month of March! You can expect a hop from SRC on the first and third Monday of each month. Missed one? Go to the Stamp Review Crew site and you will see them all (and search for specific stamp sets); barring technical difficulties, you can access the posts long after the hop went live. Today we’re featuring Potted Geraniums and coordinating Geraniums dies, part of the Potted Geraniums bundle (available at the bundled savings of 10% off). It is so fun to stamp with these two- or three-step images!

Directly before me on today’s hop is Mike Funke at Stampin’ Style, and his blog is aptly named! (See all the blogs in this hop by clicking the SRC banner above.)

It’s way, way too early to put out real geraniums in north central Illinois, so I was happy to work with the paper versions on these two cards. First up is a birthday card for a stamper, using lots of texture in the Twigs & Sprigs and Timeworn Type embossing folders. The vellum trim, cut with a die from Delicate Edges, adds a touch of sweetness.

My second card is also for a birthday — the timing of this hop was perfect for all the cards I need in March! Here I used that same vellum trim (and there’s a piece hiding somewhere on my work table for another project) and contrasted it with a metallic oval frame. I chose Flirty Flamingo for the flowers, as this pink/coral shade is what I prefer in my planters.

Note that I will be posting each of these Potted Geraniums cards individually this week so I can give you some additional information and share the product lists.

Thank you for visiting Heartfelt Inkspiration! You’re ready to move on to the next blog for this hop, Cindy Elam’s Heart’s Delight. Her work is an endless source of creative inspiration for me, so I know you will enjoy it!
