Simply Zinnia

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. Today, I am hopping with some awesome Stampin’ Up! demonstrators worldwide. The theme is Blogger’s Choice, where we share what we have been working on. I made four cards using the Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp set.

The Simply Zinnia Cling Stamp set is an Online Exlusive that won’t be in any catalog. You can find it in my online store. I used the Simply Zinnia stamp set to showcase the 2024-2026 In-Colors (available in the 2024 Annual Catalog starting May 1, 2024). The colors are Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, and Petunia Pop. Aren’t these colors beautiful?

The inspiration for my cards came from CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches.

Now, onto my cards. I used Thick Basic White card stock for the cardbase. I cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock like the sketch and stamped the large flower image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink for the four cards. For the color combinations of coloring the flowers, I used the Color Wheel that I received at Houston Onstage. It is a great tool, for I am sometimes baffled about what colors look good together.

For all four cards, I colored with various Stampin’ Blends. For the center of the flowers, I used the Daffodil Delight and Shy Shamrock on all the stems. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere card stock to the card base. Then, I adhered one of the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper designs. I wrapped the ribbon around the bottom and added the card stock strip. I popped this panel up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered it to the card base. And, of course, a card must have bling. I added the 2024 – 2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.

Summer Splash Card: Stampin’ Blends colors used for the Flowers are Summer Splash, Pool Party, and Pumpkin Pie. The panel is Pool Party card stock.

Pretty in Pink Card: Stampin’ Blends colors used for the Flowers are Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo, and Poppy Parade. The panel is Melon Mambo card stock.

Petunia Pop Card: Stampin’ Blends colors used for the Flowers are Petunia Pop, Fresh Fressia, and Bubble Bath. The panel is Fresh Fressia card stock.

Peach Pie Card: Stampin’ Blends colors used for the Flowers are Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie, and Coppy Clay. The panel is Pumpkin Pie card stock.

Which color is your favorite? I hope I have inspired you to try the sketch and create your own cards. Click Next Blog to continue along the blog hop and see what Susan has made for us today.
