#1 Jackie's Grateful Bunch Birthday Card—The Grateful Bunch stamp set and coordinating Blossom Bunch Punch are the perfect tools for making projects with simple & sweet layers. Jackie Baatz, part of my extended Too Cool team, used this creative combo to make this card for our recent shoebox swap. It's darling!

Stamped Background & Sweet Sentiment—Jackie started by stamping the Timeless Textures distressed image in a surprising way…as a vertical foundation for the flowers!  It was stamped twice in new Flirty Flamingo ink on a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" layer of Whisper White.  Next, she stamped the Grateful Bunch leaves over the top and added a Balloon Celebration greeting along the bottom, both in Memento Black Ink. 

The stamped layer was matted onto a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Black, then mounted onto a Flirty Flamingo card base.

►►Bundle It NOW & Save!—Save 15% NOW when you purchase the Grateful Bunch Bundle!  The Grateful Bunch stamps and Blossom Bunch Punch will be available in the new catalog, but the discounted bundle will not!  Order it before May 31, 2016, to save!

Grateful Bouquet—It's so easy to create this bouquet of blossoms!  Jackie simply stamped the Grateful Bunch trio of flowers image in Memento Black Ink onto Flirty Flamingo card stock, then punched it out with the Blossom Bunch Punch.  She repeated the process to get a second small flower.

Blossom Accents—The largest flower was adhered with SNAIL and the rest were popped up with Dimensionals then topped with Pearl Jewels.  Lastly, a little Wink of Stella Clear was added to the petals to give them some shimmery shine!   

#1 Complete Supplies List—"Clear" means a rubber stamp on a clear block. "Photopolymer" is see-thru. New products links will go LIVE on June 1, 2016.

#2 Carmen's Totally Grateful Blossom Card—Too Cool team member Carmen DeBruce also featured the Grateful Bunch Bundle in a charming card from our team swap.

Background Basics—Carmen started by stamping the medium size flower from the Grateful Bunch stamp set randomly over a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Pool Party card stock in matching Pool Party ink.  

TIP: Because this set is photopolymer, you can easily cut the trio of flowers image apart, so that you can use the flowers individually.  Fit them back together on your clear mount block like a jigsaw puzzle to stamp with them together again! 

Next, she stamped the Grateful Bunch lacy border on the background in Memento Black Ink.  It's layered onto a 4" x 5-1/4" mat of Basic Black, then mounted onto a Pool Party card base. 

Sweet Sentiment—Carmen stamped a greeting from the Grateful Bunch set in Memento Black Ink onto a 3-7/8" x 1-1/2" piece of the retired Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper, but you could use the retiring Typeset DSP.  It's adhered with SNAIL.

Popping Petals—I love that textured flower with the brilliant pop of color!  Carmen created it by stamping the tips of the Grateful Bunch leaves in Memento Black Ink onto Pear Pizzazz card stock and hand-cutting them.  Before adhering with Fast Fuse, she crinkled up the leaves to give it a shabby-chic, distressed look. 

Next, she stamped the two largest flowers in Watermelon Wonder ink onto Watermelon Wonder card stock.  The smaller of the two can be punched out with the Blossom Bunch Punch, but the largest one was fussy-cut with super-sharp Paper Snips.  Again, she crumpled up the flowers and adhered them with Dimensionals over the leaves. 

►►Bundle It NOW & Save!—Save 15% NOW when you purchase the Grateful Bunch Bundle!  The Grateful Bunch stamps and Blossom Bunch Punch will be available in the new catalog, but the discounted bundle will not!  Order it before May 31, 2016, to save!

Finishing Touches—Carmen finished the flower with a Rhinestone Jewel center.  Just like Jackie's card, she brushed on beautiful accents with Wink of Stella Clear!  Seriously, that stuff is amazing!
