I initially planned to replicate yesterday’s card (original post and details here) for today’s video but enjoyed experimenting with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set so much I made color and design changes.
My favorite change-up is stamping the floral image on the envelope flap for a really pretty presentation! The supplies used are shared at the end of this post. Heartfelt Blooms stamp set will be one of the FREE gifts offered during Sale-A-Bration (a FREE gift for every $50 or $100 you spend, before shipping and tax).

This is a gorgeous card!!! Thanks for the tips on inking up this stamp….I was having some difficulties with that. I love the outline of your tag….is that a punch?
I love hearing that, Maxine. I’m thrilled that the tips were helpful. That pretty label die is from Petals & More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog, Jan. 3.
Very beautiful…..love your 1 minute to wow videos….TFS
I cherish your comment, Kathie. Thanks for stopping by!
Mary, your card design is very catching. Simple and clean, but very stunning. Can you please share the inner layers sizes? Thank you.
Happy to help, Amy!

Mary, What a stunning stamp set!!! Thanks for the tip about inking, and the brayer idea sounds good too. I’m going to try that on another stamp. You have inspired me to become more elegant and classy in my card making. I never make a card without a frame or some ribbon any more.
Really enjoyed the demos of The Heartfelt Blooms stamp set — can’t wait to qualify for a free one in January. I follow you on Pinterest and love your creativity!
Absolutely beautiful! What a wonderful way to end my week! As a 3rd
grade teacher of scholars who are ready for Christmas break, the day was exhausting. I am feeling a burst of energy now. Thank you!
So grateful for what you offer the 3rd grade kiddos! I’m thrilled that this was good therapy after a long week. Now get crafting!
LOVE this card and envelope!
Thanks for visiting, Rose Mary. Think how pretty it would be in simply Crumb Cake (maybe on Vanilla) or Fresh Fig for a rich look!
Definitely a WOW card…. who could resist this stamp set?
I think it will be one of the top FREE gifts with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration, Deb!
lovely card, Mary. Very simple, very tastefully done, and typical of your elegant style. I leave very few comments because it does not seem to matter to anyone. But you seem to want them, and actually answer. I have viewed your site every day for at least four years now, and have never been disappointed. Thanks for sharing and caring.
Wow! That really makes my heart sing, Sandra. Thank you for your comment as well as following my blog for so long!
Have just loved your Heartfelt Blooms card designs. Can’t wait to order my first $50 so I can select this set free!! I follow you on Pinterest too- so thanks for your inspiration!
I love hearing that you follow me on Pinterest, Nancy. It’s a fabulous resource for card ideas.
Having seen the videos for this stamp I had to order it which meant spending another $50 on product but I couldn’t resist! I think this is my third order this month. I can hardly wait for it to be delivered along with the other goodies I ordered. Thanks for this great video and the idea for the envelope – that is truly special!
I’m so glad it was helpful, Linda. I think there are a lot of additional ways to color this stamp and really make it shine!
Thanks, Miss Peggy. The label die is from Petals & More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog, Jan. 3.
SO gorgeous! I love your tip about how you stamp the flap of the envelope. Love!
Mary, I love this card and the way you can it with different verses and colors. But I do have one question. Is the message stamped from a die cut or punch?
Mary, I meant to say I learn so much from your videos, Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Mary, thank you so much for sharing all your “tips and tricks”! This is a beautiful card (and envelope)! I can’t wait to get this set. I do have a question about the greeting strip: how did you make the ends of the strip? Is it a die or punch or some other way?
Hi Jean . . . thanks for your sweet words. That pretty label die is from Petals & More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog, Jan. 3.
Mary What a beautiful Card. I love everything about it. I love all of your tips on the video. I always lear so much from you. You have such a great way of teaching all of us. You are so talented. The en is so pretty as well. Great tips on how you made the envelope so pretty. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Oh, Ellen . . . that really makes me smile. Glad you enjoyed the video and tips.
Love this Mary!!! Really great tips and n the envelope ♥️
Thanks, Jenny. I love discovering one little thing that makes a card and envelope special. The envelope flap is the perfect touch!
I love your latest card using the Heartfelt Blooms and your helpful hints regarding the stamping the envelope. One question – what did you use to create your beautiful label? Thank you for all your work and sharing your talent – I love your videos! Keep up the GREAT work – Hugs~
Thanks, Denise. I added the information on the die above!
Beautiful card. Love all your cards. Can you explain how you made your sentiment tag? Thanks for sharing.
Delighted to receive your comment, Brenda. The label die is from Petals & More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog, Jan. 3.
Absolutely stunning!!! Love the fine details. How did you do the ends of the banner?

Your words mean so much, Stella. Thanks for leaving me a comment!
Thank you Mary for all your AMAZING tips on how to work with these larger stamps. Your card is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS my friend!
Thanks a bunch, Miss Kadie. I was very happy with the changes I made and the stamp is divine!
Very helpful tips on this video Mary. Thank you so much. You have talent and a gift for presenting elegance with sophisticated simplicity to your designs. Clean,crisp, fresh, precise and dynamic all wrapped up together. Cards that make a savvy and bold statement with simple and “easy to duplicate” techniques.
Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with us. I look forward to your daily posts. We have coffee together every morning!!?
Hugs,
Marianne
(Mary, I find using an inked up brayer works extremely well to get into all the intricate details of stamps like this one)
Wow! That really makes my day, Marianne! Thank you. Love your tip about the brayer. I’ll give it a try!
Great card and I love the envelop flap idea
I think it adds a pretty, coordinated touch, Susan!
Beautiful card! I can’t wait to get this stamp set.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thanks, Renee. I’m confident you will get a lot of use out of Heartfelt Blooms!
Hi Mary – A beautiful design as always and I love what you did with the envelope flap. Elegant card and envelope. I noticed the ends on the tag for your sentiment and I did not recognize what you may have used. Would you be willing to share? Thank you so much for your inspiration. Enjoy the holidays! ?
Thank you, Carol. That pretty label die is from Petals & More Thinlits Dies, available in the Occasions Catalog, Jan. 3.
