Travel around the world with us as we share stamping inspiration on our September New at SU! blog hop!
We are here to show you how to stamp simply, or step up the same project according to your time or preference. I’m using the new Sunflower Fields Suite Collection, and will start SIMPLY with stamps, ink and paper:

Stamping the large image on a smaller layer (3.25″ x 4.5″) brings the focal point to the center. All the stamping was done with Golden Glow ink on Golden Glow card stock (or Very Vanilla card stock for the greeting). I used a sponge dauber to add Cajun Craze ink to the center of the sunflower on top.
Let’s STEP IT UP a little!

For this version, I just replaced the stamped background with the coordinating Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper, added leaves, colored my stamped sunflower with Stampin’ Blends, added a bow of linen thread and cut around my sentiment (watch the secret for perfectly cut sentiments HERE).
Now to take it ONE STEP MORE:

This fancified version uses the Lazy Daisy 3D embossing folder for the background, adds another flower and includes a few scattered embellishments.
WHICH VERSION is your style? Leave me a comment (near the date at the top of the post) and tell me!

I Love them all Loni, and such lovely variations to step it up, bit by bit!
Beautiful cards! I love how you showed different ways to the do smaller panel! The 3rd card is my favorite as I can’t resist more layers and embellishments! Thanks for sharing!
