Rediscovering the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set

March 7, 2020 Leave a Comment

As we start to think ahead to the Stampin’ Up! 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue, I begin to wonder what will be retired. Looking through the current catalogue I come across products that I’ve got but haven’t used in quite a while and it inspires me to show them some love. Today I pulled out the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set to make a pretty thank you gift tag.

Pretty thank you gift tag created using the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set and coordinating Budding Blooms Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

SHAPED TAG BASE

I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut a 3″ x 6″ piece of Whisper White Card. Then with the long side at the top I scored it at 3″, folded it along the scored line, and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next I went looking for an interesting background. After searching for a while I was surprised to see this lined design in the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I found an odd 2″ x 3″ scrap which was actually smaller than I was looking for, but showed potential.

As I planned to use the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set, I also had the coordinating Budding Blooms Dies on my desk and that gave me an idea. In the die set there are a couple of edge dies that cut a scalloped edge, so I decided to use one of these.

Using the border die I cut about 3/4″ off the front of the folded tag. So now the front was 2-3/4″ across. Then with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) I fixed my DSP to the tag, lining up the paper against the fold.

Finally to complete the base I used the oval hole option on the Detailed Trio Punch to punch a hole at the back of the tag.

BLOOM & GROW

Now I was ready to get to work with the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set.

On some Whisper White Card I used Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the smallest of the three large floral images. Then I coloured it in using Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. In the end I chose light and dark combos in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy.

With the colouring complete I then cut out the image using the coordinating die from the Budding Blooms Dies.

For my sentiment I went back to the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set. The thank you is actually part of a larger phrase stamped onto Whisper White Card with Tuxedo Black ink. Once it was stamped all I had to do was use my Paper Snips to cut out just the words I needed.

Finally I was ready to put the tag together.

First I placed some loops of Whisper White Baker’s Twine onto the front of the tag. Next I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the floral piece, keeping them away from the right-hand end. Then when I attached the floral piece to the tag it secured the twine in place too.

I added more Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment, stacking them two high under the left end. Then I added it to the tag.

Finally I threaded some twine through the hole at the back and tied it in a simple knot. Job done.

I really love how this gift tag turned out. It was one of those projects that started out without a definite plan, but sometimes they are the most successful. What do you think?
