Friends & Flowers Fish
Friends & Flowers stamp set AND Pretty Petals Designer Paper are retiring AND I Think You’re Great stamp set is retiring, too – with 25% off the stamp set while supplies last. Grab them while you can!
- I began my card searching through my designer papers to see what could look like a watery background. I found it in the unlikely pack Pretty Petals which you’d think would be all about flowers! But I love that Stampin’ Up! designs the paper usually with a bolder print on one side and a more muted print on the other so you have optimal versatility.
- I scalloped the top of the designer paper with a Circle Punch and adhered it directly to my Whisper White cardstock background.
- Next I stamped the pieces I needed for the two fish using Whisper White Cardstock and Pumpkin Pie Ink. Most of the pieces in the Friends & Flowers stamp set punch out with the coordinating Festive Flower Builder Punch! I assembled them and lightly traced the fins and tails with the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Pen. After all, they are goldfish!
- I searched through my sentiments to find the perfect one for this card and came upon the fun speech bubble in I Think You’re Great stamp set. It’s stamped on Whisper White Cardstock with VersaMark Ink then heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool. Paper Snips cut it out quickly.
- Fish just need bubbles, right?! Mine were created using all three sizes of White Perfect Accents. They’re self-adhesive so went on with no fuss!
- The fish got Pacific Point Candy Dots in the Brights Candy Dot Pack for eyes. Candy Dots are all retiring – oh, my!!! Be sure to add them to your order!
- I rounded the bottom two corners to be more “bowl like” using the Corner Rounder Punch.
- I wanted to create the pebbles on the bottom of a fish bowl, and since I had a little shimmer going on, I opted for Gold Foil punched out using the 1/2″ Circle Punch. A few of the ones on top are adhered with Dimensionals to bring them to life.
- Lining the envelope to coordinate with the card has become one of my favorite “accessorizing” techniques. Use the Envelope Liner Framelits with the Big Shot and adhere inside the Whisper White Envelope flap. And you’re not gonna believe this but the Envelope Liner Framelits are retiring!!!

Friends & Flowers with Pretty Petals
- Oh, how I love the Pretty Petals Designer Paper! What an awesome color scheme – Basic Black, Calypso Coral and Old Olive. I threw in a little Crushed Curry too!
- The size of designer paper I needed for my card was 2″ x 5-1/2″. This paper comes in a 6″ x 6″ paper stack, so I had just enough left over to line my envelope. This creates such a customized look for your cards. Use the Envelope Liner Framelits and Big Shot to line all of the Stampin’ Up! envelope sizes.
- Each petal of the flower was stamped four times using VersaMark Ink on Calypso Coral Cardstock, then poured on White Embossing Powder and heat set it using the Heat Tool.
- Using Dimensionals in places as well as curving the flower petals over a Bone Folder makes the finished flower really come to life.
- The leaves were stamped twice on Whisper White Cardstock using Old Olive Ink.
- Centers for the flower are punched out twice and stacked with a small Perfect White Accent in the center.
- I found the perfect sentiment with the Sassy Salutations stamp set. It’s also stamped with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder and the Heat Tool. Be sure to rub your Basic Black cardstock first with the Embossing Buddy so that you don’t have little flecks of white embossing powder sticking where it shouldn’t be!
