Extraordinary Flora -

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Extraordinary Flora Bundle by Stampin’ Up! ®.

Extraordinary Flora – White on White Elegance

The Extraordinary Flora is a beautifully versatile bundle featuring a large stamp and die set. While the stamped images are small, the coordinating die cuts them all out in one single pass—making it a real time-saver! Back in-stock soon (available from 21 July), the coordinating Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape can also be used with the same die for even more creative possibilities.

For this card, I’ve created a white-on-white design that’s full of interest and dimension thanks to the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. The subtle texture adds elegance while keeping the palette soft and clean.

To bring in some gentle colour, I stamped the small floral images from the Extraordinary Flora stamp set and coloured them using Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils (both Packs 1 & 2). I then blended the colour using the Stampin’ Blends Colour Lifter—an alcohol-based tool—which allowed me to safely use Memento Tuxedo Black Ink for stamping.
