A card sketch combined with a photograph can lead to an interesting card, which happened today. You can see my inspiration photo below, along with my instructions, supplies, and July offers.
A Dozen Flowers
Instructions
Cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, fold in the middle at 4 1/4″, making your card base.
Cut a layer of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die, and glue this layer to your card base.
Using the smallest square die from Stitched Shapes, cut twelve squares from Whisper White Cardstock.
The flower is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set. Stamp it, randomly, on the squares in three colors of ink: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, and So Saffron. Each color gets four squares, which you glue to the Soft Sea Foam layer, alternating the colors with a tiny separation between them.
Add color to the flowers with Stampin’ Blends in three colors: Light Petal Pink, Light Flirty Flamingo, and Light Daffodil Delight. TIP: Leave plenty of white space on the petals.
The sentiment is from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set. Stamp it in Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die. Place it on Mini Dimensionals as shown.
I like all the coordinated stitching. Thank you Stampin’ Up!
My inspiration was from Fusion.

It’s happiness in the tropics! My favorite vacations have been in the tropics; Hawaii and the Bahamas. This card makes me think of the gorgeous sunsets. Keep scrolling to see my instructions, as well as my supplies in the Product List below.
In the Tropics
Today’s Step-by-Step Instructions:
Cut Basic Gray Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, fold in the middle at 4 1/4″ to make your card base.
Use the largest Ornate Layers Die to cut a layer from regular weight, Whisper White Cardstock, and adhere to the card base.
Cut the next layer from Rainbow Glimmer Paper (a section of yellow and pink), using a smaller Ornate layers Die.
Use the same, fancy edged, Ornate Frames Die, to cut the top layer from Basic Black Cardstock.
With scissors, cut away the fancy edge along the dots.
Place the Friendly Silhouettes, palm tree die, toward the bottom of the black layer, and cut. Glue the two pieces to fit within the Rainbow Glimmer Paper frame, as shown.
The sentiment, “happy day” is from from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set. Stamp it in Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and cut with the wavy, Ornate Frames Die.
Tack the right side to the edge with glue, and a black dot, and lift the end on Mini-Dimensionals to make it blow in the gentle tropical breeze.
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you see how a photograph can be inspiring for your card making.

This card morphed several times before it became what you are seeing now.
Daisy Day
The curve in the sketch I was following is fascinating, which led to a long process of trying a number of things. Yes, this was a challenge! If you’d like to give it a try, you can follow my instructions, or you may come up with a better idea on your own.
Instructions
Cut Thick Whisper White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, fold in the middle at 4 1/4″, making your card base.
Cut Whisper White Cardstock with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die, and emboss with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Glue this layer to your card base.
Stamp the Buffalo Check Background Stamp with Granny Apple Green Ink on Thick Whisper White Cardstock. Cut a section that is 3 3/4″ X 3″.
Make a template by using a stem from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set. Stamp the stem as shown in the picture, then cut the shape by hand.
Hold the template in place over the Buffalo Check, cut by hand, and glue to the card front.
Use the Daisy Punch (the larger one) to cut two rounds of petals from Whisper White Cardstock, glue together, and place on two Dimensionals.
Add a center, cut from Daffodil Delight Cardstock, with a Poppy Moments Die.
Cut a stem from Granny Apple Green Cardstock with a Poppy Moments Die, and glue across the Buffalo Check.
I usually stamp before embossing, but I reversed the order today, and it worked. Whew! “You made my day!” is from the Ornate Thanks Stamps Set,” stamped in Memento Black Ink.
To make the words curve, place on the Acrylic Block and shape to the curve of the Buffalo Check curve.
If you like dragonflies, you can add this pair from the Friend Like You Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. I was so happy they came out clear on top of the embossing!
