Two Cards, One Beautiful Stamp Set: Begonia Belle

K

Guest
There are some stamp sets that you look at and immediately start imagining all the cards you could make with them… and Begonia Belle was definitely one of those sets for me!

This beautiful Stampin’ Up! stamp set was our July Product of the Month at Stampin’ Up!, and after playing with it, I can absolutely see why it was such a popular choice. In fact… it proved to be very popular because Begonia Belle has now sold out!
While you can no longer grab the set, I still wanted to share a couple of cards I created with it because good ideas are definitely worth sharing!

card one​

Handmade floral thank-you card created using the Stampin’ Up! Begonia Belle stamp set, featuring layered pink and purple roses with green leaves, gold foliage accents and a black “Thank you for everything you do” sentiment on a textured pink and purple floral background.


For these cards, I had so much fun playing with the layered floral images and seeing how differently they could look simply by changing the colours.

The first card is all about those gorgeous pinks and purples, with the large floral image taking centre stage. I added layers of leaves, gold accents, ribbon and a few little embellishments to create a card with plenty of texture and dimension.

I love how dramatic the darker background makes those bright pink flowers pop!
And then there’s the second card…

card two​

Handmade floral greeting card created using the Stampin’ Up! Begonia Belle stamp set, featuring layered yellow, orange, pink and red flowers with green leaves on a soft pink textured background. A black sentiment panel reads “You are my Sunshine,” with ribbon, twine and embellishments adding texture and dimension.


For this one, I went in a completely different direction with pink, yellow, orange and green.

It’s brighter, sunnier and has a completely different feel — which is one of my favourite things about a versatile stamp set. You can use the exact same images but create something that feels totally different just by changing your colour palette and layout.

And can we talk about those layers?!
A little stamping, some fussy cutting, a few die-cut elements, ribbon, embellishments and a touch of gold can take a card from simple to “yes, I definitely want to give this one to someone special!”

WATCH THE VIDEO TUTORIAL/REPLAY FOR THESE CARDS​


I shared a live video where we created both of these Begonia Belle cards + some sneak peeks of new product. I hope you will find it inspiring.

Let the sketch do the hard work!​

Styled flat lay showing The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box, printed sketch and measurements, and the finished handmade card alongside coordinating markers, demonstrating the sketch inspiration and completed design.


One of these cards was also created using The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box, and honestly, this is exactly why I love having sketches on hand when I’m crafting.

The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box gives you 52 card sketches to help get you started. You can follow the sketch quite literally or use it as a jumping-off point and make it completely your own.
It’s perfect for those days when you want to get crafting without spending half an hour staring at your supplies wondering where to begin.
