Finding Inspiration Friday

Beautiful Friendship

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Finding Inspiration! Today I wanted to share a few projects featuring my favorite stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. It's called Beautiful Friendship and is is the best set ever for creating quick and beautiful cards. I put out a fun contest to friends to see what their favorite stamp set is and if theirs matched mine, they would win a prize. Well my stamping friend, Cheryl guessed and won.

The great thing about this set, is that you can choose any colors and your card will be so stunning with just stamps, ink, and paper. This is my favorite flower in the set. With just one stamp with ink, this flowers comes out already multi-colored. WOW! This soft springtime card is awesome with just a few accenting sequins.

This card is perfect with Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. It is so rich and the added embellishments are great! I love the center of the flowers stamp. It's amazing how much depth it gives the flowers.

By combining the different flowers in the set, you end up with such a beautiful card. The layers of Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry go so well together. This card reminds me of the holidays. Cajun Craze was brought in for the sprigs and it's perfect!

This card is so cool how the flowers were stamped in a wreath and then features the greeting front and center. Highland Heather and Lovely Lipstick was used for the flowers with Granny Apple Green leaves. I can see this card being used for many occasions.

I hope I've inspired you to stamp some of your own projects using your favorite stamp set. I'm going to create several projects using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set. I want to create the same card using the 2019-2020 In-Colors to see how the feel of the card changes with colors like the cards above, but this time, keep the stamping the same and just change the colors.
