Day 3 of blog tour

Well it's the end of the tour and I hope you found some inspiration from one of the blogs. For the last day, I decided to add a 3-D item. I'm still using the Awash with Flowers set, but just wanted to show you how versatile it is.


This is by far my favorite card. I love the more vintage look of this one. Along with the Awash with Flowers set, I used the En Francis background stamp. I also stamped the 2-steps, but made it look more watercolored by using the same color marker to fill it in. The leaves are stamped, cut out and popped up with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and punched out with the Word Window punch. The colors used for this card are: Lavender Lace, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Basic Black.


Here is the Basket & Blooms basket made with Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the tulips on it, because here is Michigan these are starting to pop up out of the ground. Now that makes it feel like spring. I love how easy this basket is to put together also.

I think I will just fill with some candy and this would make a great door prize. And then that person can then pass it on with something in it.

I hope you have enjoyed the first Klompen Stampers blog tour. I'm hoping to organize another one some time this summer and hopefully will get a few more joiners. I'm glad you've visited for the last 3 days.

If you would like to book a Personal Creative Session with me in April, my calendar is filling up fast so contact me soon. Here is the special for April: 2-Step into Spring. I would love to get together with you and your friends and family and show everyone what a great time stamping is!!

Now on to Jennifer Salgat's blog.

Day 2 of Blog Tour

Welcome back to the Klompenstampers blog tour for day 2. Here are a couple more cards made with the Awash with Flowers stamp set.

This one uses Bermuda Bay textured cardstock for the base. The next layer is actually Natural White cardstock and I punched the edge with the Scallop Trim Border punch that you can still get FREE with a $50 order. Love how that punch looks.

The flower and stems are again stamped in Basic Black and the other colors are Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive. The ribbon is the Bermuda Bay Polka Dot ribbon. The white layer is popped up with dimensionals.

The next card uses the Designer Series Paper pack called Sweet Pea from the Occasions mini catalog, that is still available until April 30 yet. This is a HUGE pack of paper, 24 - 12x12 papers to be exact. This paper pack is also available in a My Digital Studio download.

The base of this card is Pumpkin Pie. The image is stamped on Whisper White with strips of Old Olive and So Saffron on either side of it. The ribbon is Old Olive grosgrain ribbon. The ink used was Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron, Rose Red, Old Olive and Basic Black.

If you like what you see, please let me know. And if you would like to purchase any of the product used, please visit my online store here.

Thank you again for stopping and see you back tomorrow.

Klompenstampers Blog Tour Day 1

Welcome to the first blog tour from the Klompenstampers group. Hopefully you hopped on over here from Jackie's blog, but if you didn't, then follow the tour and you will eventually get there.

Well for this tour I have decided to use the sneak peak stamp set called 'Awash with Flowers'. This set will be available starting April 1 and go until April 30 to purchase or if you host a personal creative session with me during this time frame, you can earn it for FREE!


This card is sort of a single layer card. The only layer I put on it is the white piece where I stamped the Thank You and the little strip of Crushed Curry at the bottom.

I just love this new stamp set. It is very easy to line up the images, but even if you don't it still looks great.

I used Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Basic Black classic ink on this card, along with Melon Mambo Polka Dot ribbon.

The next card is a little different approach. I stamped the line image and popped the solid image up to give it a 3-D affect. I also added the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder image to it which I think looks great with the stamped image.


The cardstock used is Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla, So Saffron and Mellow Moss. Pretty in Pink and Basic Black classic ink were used for the stamping. I used the Word Window punch to round the edges of the strips under the main image. Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon was added also.

Thanks for stopping and be sure to come back tomorrow. Now on to the next stop of the tour - Jennifer Salgat's blog.
