Random Acts of Kindness for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Random Acts of Kindness. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Nothing says random acts of kindness to me, than sending a card to someone without a special occasion. You get to surprise someone and remind them how special they are to you.

I created this card with that thought in mind using the Textured Floral stamp set. I love this sentiment, and I am sure that just reading it makes them smile as well.

This stamp set is in the encore section of the 2024-2025 annual catalog, on page 80. Since the set was carried over, you have to purchase the dies separately. The good news is, they’re on the same page!

To make the card

• Begin with a 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” piece of Wild Wheat cardstock, score and fold at 4 1/4” to form your card base.
• Adhere a 4” x 5 1/4” piece of Wildly Flowering DSP to the card base.
• Cut another piece of Wildly Flowering DSP to measure 2 7/8” x 4”. Adhere it to a 3” x 4” piece of Early Espresso cardstock and attach to the center of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Stamp two flower centers and a flower stamen on a piece of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Add some Crumb Cake ink over the top of them with your Blending Brush.
• Crop the images, as well as the following, with the Textured Floral dies; two large leaf branches in Early Espresso, two leaf sprays in Mossy Meadow, and three flower stamens in Moody Mauve cardstock.

• Stamp one large flower and two small flowers on a piece of Wild Wheat cardstock using Versamark ink. Quickly dust them with some white Embossing Powder, tap off the excess, and set in place with your Heat Tool.
• Crop the flowers and adhere the stamped centers and stamen to them.

Time to assemble

• Adhere the foliage to the center of the card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

• Attach the flowers on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

• Stamp your sentient on a 3/4” x 3 3/8” piece of Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Punch the ends of it, as well as a 5/8” x 3 5/8” piece of Early Espresso cardstock, using the Happy Labels Pick a Punch.
• Adhere the labels together and attach them to the card. (Hint- place a Stampin’ Dimensional under the very right side of it to ensure that it is even all the way across.)

• Layer two pieces of Linen Thread together and tie a bow to form a double-bow. Trim the ends and attach it to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.
• Attach three Adhesive-Backed Textured Dots as shown.
