What a fun time I had designing this card! Minimal layers and three neutral inks make this card a snap to create! Just select the appropriate sentiment, and you will have a card for any occasion. And speaking of fun, are you ready for a little fun on this day after Christmas? Let’s test your knowledge of Stampin‘ Up! stamp sets? Name the five sets that were used to make this card. Come on…you can do it! The answers will be revealed during my tips!
The Stampin‘ Schach Tips:
- Get noticed with neutrals! Pull out the Basic Black, Basic Gray and Sahara Sand inks. Whisper White and Basic Black card stock form the over-sized (5″ wide x 7″ long) card base of this simple and classy card!
- Ink the Medallion stamp with Sahara Sand, and position the image in the lower right hand corner. Ink the center of the stamp again with Basic Black and stamp onto Whisper White. Punch out with the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch and pop it onto the original with a Stampin‘ Dimensional.
- Flourishes, flourishes, flourishes! Ink the “Floral Flourish” image from the Wedding Sweet set with Basic Gray and stamp into the upper left hand corner. Ink the “Brocade Flourish” from Friends 24 -7 with Basic Gray and stamp in the lower left hand corner and upper right side. Ink the “Flourish” from Wings of Friendship with Sahara Sand and randomly stamp. Make certain to stamp a few off the edges of the paper!
- Sneak a peek! The “Large Flower” from Vintage Vogue was inked and stamped onto Whisper White twice, once with Sahara Sand and a second time with Basic Black. They were then snipped out using Paper Snips and adhered onto the card base. For contrast, the Sahara Sand image was adhered first, and the Basic Black was popped up with a Stampin‘ Dimensional. Likewise, the sentiment is also from Vintage Vogue.
I hope that you had fun with this little “Guess the Stamp Sets” challenge. Once again, here are the five sets that were used: Medallion, Wings of Friendship, Sweet Wedding, Friends 24-7 and Vintage Vogue. How did you do? Did you guess them all? By now, I know that you have seen several cards created with the Vintage Vogue set. But, sometimes it is fun to see how a set can be incorporated with other sets that you may already have. The same holds true with Wedding Sweet. I selected this set simply because I loved the “Floral Flourish”! And, as you can see, it’s not just for wedding cards!

I am the lucky one who got to see this card in person! How amazing and the clarity of the scripted stamps is stunning. I love the color combinations and the stamps from different sets truly come together in an amazing way on this card. Gorgeous!
Stunning Ann, everything about it!!
What an elegant look! I like that you combined so many stamp sets, and made them all work together! The colors are really classy! ~Bonnie~
Beaut-i-mous … as my Mom would say.
I love the color combo and use of so many stamp sets.
Great balance of color and design. I really enjoyed how you mixed it up with all the stamps from different sets. I love seeing how Medallion can be used in coordination with other stamps because this particular aspect with it has stumped me to a degree. It is also nice to see the potential vesitality of the new Vintage Vogue flower as well. TFS today and always! You continue to knock my socks off with your creations!
I love your card Ann. The design is so very unique and elegant looking. Your use of the stamps together is wonderful.
I hope you had a very Merry Chritsmas.

What a lovely card and fun idea to guess the stamps used . . . you showcased how versatile the stamp sets are, too! Hugs, M
I JUST LOVE YOUR CARD AND NEVER THOUGHT OF PUTTING THOSE COLORS TOGETHER, BUT THEY LOOK GREAT. I NEVER THOUGHT OF USING MORE THAN 2 SETS AT A TIME, THANKS FOR SHARING.
Beautiful card. Using flourishes, fleur de lis and swirls are a favorite of mine. Yours is a great example! I will give this one a try as I don’t have any wedding sets. Thanks!
THIS is classic! Sophisticated while grungish. LOVE the colors…kind of like a black tie affair! I loved the guessing game.
So pretty – love the design!
Oh, how gorgeous!!! I love those colors and how you put all those stamps together. So beautiful. I hope you had a safe trip and a wonderful Christmas. Hugs,
This is fabulous Ann! Love how you combined the different images….very pretty! Enjoy the rest of your holiday! {SMILES}
Ann,

Hope you are staying warm and did not get too snowed in.
