Simple Stamping with Field of Flowers

The new Field of Flowers Bundle by Stampin' Up! is full of possibilities with its interchangeable collection of words, stamp images that can be used in any color combination, and a punch to "Step-Up" your cards a little or a lot. Flowers are my thing, especially flowers out in nature and on our porches, patios, and gardens, so I was immediately attracted to this set. Today's cards showcase this beautiful new stamp set and SIP, aka Stamps, Ink, and Paper. (I'll put the punch to use in future posts.)

These 3 cards show the progression from simple to stepped up to stepped up a little more all while sticking to the basics – stamps, ink, and paper. 

Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Balmy Blue are a warm, sunny, cheerful color combination during this beautiful summer season.

More of the same beautiful stamped flowers is an easy no brainer way to step up your cards as in the card below.

Another fun way to step up your cards is to stamp your sentiment or part of your sentiment on scrap paper, cut it out with Paper Snips, then pop it up on your card front with Stampin' Dimensionals or Mini Stampin' Dimensionals as I used here.

Don't forget to dress up the inside of your cards and your envelopes with a little stamping.
