Varied Vases
This is one of the stamp sets that I purchased on my pre-order and I love it. The stamp set has a matching punch as well. I made a set of cards for my catalogue launch using this set and the new 2018-2020 In-Colour Designer Series paper. 
This 6″ x 6″ designer series paper is really lovely, you get four each of two double-sided designs in each of the five new in-colours. So pretty. I created a card in each of the colours – Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel. 
I created each card by punching a strip of card using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and attaching behind a co-ordinating piece of the Designer Series Paper. I attached the designer series paper to Whisper White card and stamped a greeting from the Varied Vases stamp set using the co-ordinating ink. 
The Whisper White card is attached to scored and folded co-ordinating card. I stamped one of the vase images using the co-ordinating colour and a flower from the stamp set which is either stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink or Call Me Clover ink. The flowers are stamped in one of the new in-colours to co-ordinate with the designer series paper. 
For each of the central images I used the Vases Builder Punch to create a mask from Post-it-notes to cover the vase before stamping the stem images. The vase images where cut out using one of the circles from the Layering Circles Framelits Dies and attached to a scalloped circle cut from co-ordinating card using the same dies. 
The image panels are attached to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of co-ordinating card behind one long edge of a piece of the designer series paper. 
The panel is attached across the bottom of Whisper White card.
I love how bright and cheerful this set of cards is, the colours are really lovely and I think it will be hard to pick a favourite. The greetings in this stamp set make it really versatile and you can layer up the vases and flowers to create so many different variations. I hope I have inspired you to take a good look at this stamp set and think about the possibilities.
Bye for now,
Kris
