Sneak Peek: Build a Blossom & Blossom Petals Punch Mini Tutorial

I'm so excited to share with you this Sneak Peak ... it is paper punch and a stamp set that work hand in hand to create some phenomenal designs.  Thank you Stampin' Up! for making these available as of January 4, 2011 in our Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.

Build a Blossom Stamp Set, item #121923 - Wood or #121994 - Clear Mount
Blossom Petals Paper Punch, item #121808

I used Blushing Bride Card Stock (item #119796) and Blushing Bride Classic Ink (item #119786) to create this amazing flower.  The lighter color you see in the flower is the card stock, and the deeper color is the classic ink.   I stamped out 5 of the solid images and 5 of the design across a piece of card stock.  Then punched them out using the Blossom Petals Punch.   I then arranged them, layering each petal and then finished it off with the stamped and punched out center.   I used a separate circle punch for the center.

The Blossoms Petals punch has 5 sizes of petals/leaves.  The Build a Blossom stamp set has 12 different stamps in it for different sizes of petals, leaves, and centers.   The centers can be punched out using our 1/2" Circle and 1" Circle paper punches too.

LOVE this coordinating set.  If you could only purchase two items, these are the two that I would recommend.   Extremely versatile.  The results are beautiful.

The sentiment was stamped using the Curly Cute stamp set, item #117014 - Wood OR item #120510 - Clear Mount.   Sentiments include:  Congratulations, Happy Birthday, Seasons Greetings, Thinking of You, and Thank You.

Card base was made with Sahara Sand card stock, item #121043.
