Card Art by Helen

And here's the project it inspired:

The Boutqiue Blossoms Photopolymer Stamp Set features sketched delicate blooms, with the Two-Step Distinktive stamps making it easy to create an artistic coloured finish with beautiful shading.

A rectangle of the Basic Beige diagonal striped patterned paper from the Paper Medley 12" x 12" Mix-In Designer Series Paper measuring 4" x 5¼" was adhered directly to a Basic White folded card base.

The outline floral images from the Boutique Blossoms Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Golden Glow Classic Stampin' Ink™ and then the Distinktive filler stamps stamped over the top using the same ink. This was repeated with the triple leaf spray images using Mossy Meadow Ink. All images were then cut out with the coordinating dies from the Boutique Blossoms Dies. Additional solid foliage elements were die cut from Basic Beige Cardstock using the largest stem die from that set.

The die-cut floral elements were added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™. The die-cut stems were tucked underneath and adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and the stamped foliage elements tucked underneath and adhered using Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Phrases & Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Mossy Meadow Ink, cut out using the Triple Banner Punch, and added to the card front using Dimensionals. A length of Linen Thread was tied in a loose bow and adhered, tucked under the largest flower, using a Mini Glue Dot™. Golden Glow 2026–2028 In Color™ Butterflies were added as embellishments.

And here's the project it inspired:

The Extraordinary Life Bundle coordinates with the Beautiful Ordinary Life Suite Collection, and it has many elements that will work for card designs as well as for scrapbooking, as this project shows.

The landscape card base was created from Basic White Cardstock measuring 11" x 4¼", scored at 5½". A rectangle of the dotted Pool Party pattern from the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 5½" x 4¼" was adhered directly to the folded card base.

A long strip of Basic Black Cardstock approximately ¾" wide was cut with the long scallop border die from the Bordered in Beauty Dies. This die-cut edge was then adhered to the reverse of the long side of a rectangle of the hexagon pattern from the same DSP measuring 4¼" x 1⅝" to create a narrow scalloped border for the bottom edge, and trimmed to fit. This was then adhered to the centre of the card front.

A square of the chevron pattern from the same DSP measuring 2½" x 2½" was adhered centrally over the hexagon patterned layer. The sentiment, from the Phrases and Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using the Basic Black Hybrid Stampin' Pad™ and cut out using the 1¾" Circle Punch. The stamped circle was then added to the center of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

Using the stamp from the Extraordinary Life Photopolymer Stamp Set, three butterflies were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using black ink and cut out with the coordinating die from the Extraordinary Life Dies. Colour was added to the middle of each butterfly using Sponge Daubers with Lemon Lolly and Golden Glow Classic Stampin' Ink™. These were then added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots™. A simple foliage stem from the Floral Flight Accents was adhered to the card front, tucked under the sentiment circle. Flirty Flamingo gems from the Array of Dots were added as final embellishments.
