Welcome to the Stamp Impressions Europe Blog Hop!
I’m so excited to be joining the team again this month, and this time we’re taking inspiration from a fun Tic Tac Toe Challenge — always one of my favourite ways to spark creativity!.
For my project, I chose the centre line of the board:
Designer Series Paper – Stamped Image – Matching Envelope
And here’s the card I created…
🌸 Scalloped Blooms Circular Card 🌸
This week I’ve been playing with the beautiful Scalloped Blooms Bundle, and honestly… I had SO much fun creating this shaped design during one of my Facebook Lives!
✨ The Inspiration
I really wanted to create something a little different from a traditional rectangular card, and the gorgeous scalloped dies were absolutely perfect for that. By layering the different scalloped circles together, it creates such a soft, dimensional look while also giving the card that extra “special occasion” feel.
I love how the repeated scallop detail naturally frames the focal point and draws your eye straight into the floral arrangement in the centre. It’s one of those dies that instantly makes a project look more detailed — but is actually incredibly easy to build with.
For the floral cluster, I used the delicate floral spray from the Heirloom Boutique Bundle, which adds such a pretty, elegant touch against all those layered circles.
The flowers were coloured using the NEW Shimmer Brushes, giving them a soft pearlescent glow that catches the light beautifully in real life. The subtle shimmer paired with the warm peachy tones and golden yellows feels so fresh and cheerful for spring and summer crafting.
And of course… I couldn’t resist creating a coordinating envelope using the same Designer Series Paper to tie everything together!
✂️ How I Made It
I started by creating the shaped card base using the largest scalloped die, then layered additional scalloped circles in coordinating colours and patterned paper to build lots of depth and texture.
The central floral spray was stamped, coloured with the shimmer brushes, then die cut and layered over some pretty foliage elements and soft ribbon loops for added softness and movement.
To finish, I added a simple sentiment and a few tiny butterfly embellishments for a little extra sparkle.
Voila!
I absolutely loved creating this card — the combination of texture, framing, florals, and soft shimmer makes it one of those designs that feels really special while still being totally achievable.
