Bloom you own way with STAMPlorations

Today I'm sharing my latest STAMPlorations Design Team project, featuring one of the new Simple Expressions stamp sets. This one is called Bloom, and I absolutely love the positive message “Bloom your own way.”

I teamed the sentiment with the beautiful Blossom Sprays #5 floral stamp and the Bold Florals stencil. I wanted to create something bright, colourful and full of flowers, so I used Distress Ink through the stencil to create the pink and blue background.

 I wanted to create something bright, colourful and full of flowers, so I used Distress Ink through the stencil to create the pretty pink and blue background.

I used the outline "Bloom" stamp first with the sentiment and teamed it with the beautiful Blossom Sprays #5 floral stamp. 

I coloured the flowers in shades of purple and blue using distress watercolour pencils

I then used the solid bloom stamp to add the colour and added some sparkle to the petals and flower as a finishing touch. These stamps are super easy to line up.

I love how the bold background works with the delicate floral image, while the large BLOOM sentiment remains the focal point of the design.

Sometimes we all need a little reminder that we don't have to follow everyone else's path — we can simply bloom our own way! 💜

This new range is so pretty, do check them all out here 

Remember to use my unique code STAMPGIRLJANE too at checkout for 20% off your order.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope my card gives you a little creative inspiration today.

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember party 2026

Yesterday I shared the exciting Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® news and showed you my first makes. If you missed seeing them check out this link. I was sent the gorgeous Today and Every Day stamp set (2405ssc) to create with, and I have had great fun exploring all the possibilities it offers.

This beautiful floral set includes a lovely wreath along with lots of additional floral and leafy elements, giving you so many ways to mix, match and create your own designs. I decided to see just how much I could get from the set and created four cards and a tag.

Today it’s time for the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Party! 🎉

I made this autumn inspired card using distress inks for the background. 

Here's a couple of close ups of this gorgeous wreath, I added flowers from the other stamps in the set which I fussy cut, coloured and decoupaged onto the wreath so they have some dimension too. I will share a step by step over on Instagram of how this came together.
