How’s this for exciting news? There’s going to be a new Online Exclusive suite available on March 5 that I know will become one of my favorites! The Simply Zinnia stamp set has realistic flower images plus a coordinating die set, embossing folder, and Designer Paper.

For my first play with the set, I wanted to show how to color the images with Stampin’Blends markers. You can watch the video here. I chose shades of pink and purple for this card. The great thing about zinnias is that they come in so many different colors, so you can choose your favorite shades to color the flowers. Switch out the cardstock color to match the colors you are using for the flowers.

Make sure to check back later this week when I’ll be posting a video showing how to use the dies to create 3D flowers!

For this card, I used the following cardstock:

• Card Base: Berry Burst – 11″ x 4 1/4″, score at 5 1/2″
• First Layer: Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″, embossed with the Zinnia embossing folder
• Second Layer: Berry Burst – 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″, cropped with the Deckled Rectangle die
• Third Layer: Basic White – 4 1/2″ x 3″, cropped with the Deckled Rectangle die and embossed with the Zinnia embossing folder
• Flowers: Basic White – 4 1/2″ x 3″
• Inside: Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″
