It’s Sunday and time for another Paper Players challenge. This is Joanne’s week with a soft and subtle color challenge for us. She chose Highland Heather, Seaside Spray and Old Olive.
Any time is a perfect time for flowers! The Basket of Bloom stamp set has pretty flower blooms, a few leaf stems, a flower pot, basket and vase. These images can take your flower arranging imagination from simple to stunning and anywhere in between.
When I saw Joanne’s colors for this week’s Challenge, I thought of the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper. All three colors are together in this paper pack. Below is how today’s project came together.
- Starting with an A-2 Basic White card base, I added a layer of the Highland Heather and Basic White striped pattern paper.
- On Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower pot image with Sahara Sand ink and lightly shaded the edges of the pot with my Blender Pen.
- I stamped the twine bow image to the flower pot with Seaside Spray ink.
- Next, I stamped the flower blooms on Basic White cardstock.
- I fussy cut the pot and flower blooms.
- I cut a Basic White card layer 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and added some texture with one of the Stitched With Whimsy dies.
- In the center of the white layer, I stamped the leaf stems with Old Olive ink.
- With a few Stampin’ Dimensionals, I attached the flower pot and arranged my flower blooms.
- The Seaside Spray stamped sentiment is from the Lots of Heart stamp set.
- The Stitched With Whimsy frame did the embellishing for me.
So, match up your colors to Joanne’s Challenge and create something subtle to link up with us at the Paper Players.
…the only limitation is your imagination!

What a perfect little notecard Debbie to brighten someone’s day! The little pot of flowers is so pretty and your stitched whimsy border adds a neat extra detail without being overwhelming. The striped DSP makes the perfect base too. Gorgeous!
So cute! Love your pail of posies !
Such a sweet little pot of flowers….love that stitched border around your white panel too! Trying to incorporate that a wee bit more in my own cards!
So how have I overlooked this set for a year??! I had to look in the catalog and I have never given it a second look! Probably because I haven’t see a card as cute as yours with it! I love the soft coloring and the subtle dimensional and just the overall sweetness! Have a great week!
CAS perfection! That is what this is! Beautifully done! I agree with Amanda, you made a set that got overlooked shine!
Debbie, I love this sweet card. The stripes add so much to your background along with the white whimsical panel. I love the little pot full of pretty blooms! Your card made me smile!
Clean and perfect, Debbie! So delicate and feminine! Basket of Blooms is a set I think is adorable, but never bought it. You have definitely brought it to life! Great card!
Oh, I just love this sweet little basket of blooms, Deb! The stitched border is the perfect detail, too!
Thank you Anne Marie.
