Welcome everyone! It’s time for a new Paint-A-Flower from Altenew and we have a gorgeous Hydrangea set.
Today I wanted to show you another way to use the Paint-A-Flower sets.
I started by heat embossing my image in White embossing powder on a various colors of cardstock that measure 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. Using a stamping positioner, like the Misti, was kind of essential in this case because I could stamp the image in the same exact place every time.
I trimmed all the pieces down to thin strips and separated into piles. Then I just sat and created backgrounds by switching up the colors and making sure the floral image lined up. It was actually a very relaxing process and I got quite a few cards out of this.
I adhered the strips to a piece of 80 lb. white cardstock and trimmed it down. Then added that panel to a white card base. I adore the different shades of color with the thick white border.
I finished off each of the cards with a sentiment that is heat embossed in White onto Black card stock.
Here’s another one of the cards. The image and design is all the same but the colors are in a different order.
And one more where the purples are towards the top.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration!

Thank you for sharing such a non-traditional treatment of this stamp. I am really drawn to it.
Very nice! I like the white embossing against the blue stripes. It makes for a very stunning s and beautiful card.
Interesting layout with this stamp.
I love the white embossed background. It really pops against the colored background
Such a unique way to use this stamp. Love it
Great, creative idea! I love the hydrangea but it’s good to see different ways to use a stamp to get more use out of them.
So creative! At first glance I thought you stamped the image onto the strips of different cardstock but I see you stamped onto several colours of cardstock and then cut the strips. I love it! Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous card. Love the colors you have used.
I like how simple this was to make, and how pretty! The white is wonderful
How cool! This would certainly have come in handy when I was creating a stack of cards! but I will remember and use it next time – perhaps when I receive my hydrangea stamp!
I love how beautiful the hydrangeas are with simple white heat embossing. Great card!
Such a clever way to make the background and also make multiple cards at once! The white embossed hydrangeas are so pretty.
Beautiful! I love this gorgeous hydrangea. Your background colors are amazing.
Great composition of background colors for your white hydrangea.
Pretty card design!
This is definitely a fresh take using the Hydrangea stamp set. Clever.
Love the stripes of blue and purple!! Stunning colors and hydrangeas!! SO PRETTY! Thanks for sharing and creating!
Great idea use of the different aray of colors to accent the silhouette lines of this beautiful new Altenew blossom!
Did I ever enjoy this one – YES!
Those graphic backgrounds coupled with the wide white border are the perfect foil for the white outline of the hydrangea stamp! Perfection – simple but so eye-catching. I usually save my strips for sentiments; but I have collected so many I was about to give some away or toss them. NOT anymore! I am in love with this idea – hope you don’t mind if I use it!
What a great idea! I love the different looks that you get depending where you put the various colors.
Beautiful colors! A fun alternative to coloring the flowers!
So pretty, Mindy! Your cards are so fun and colorful!
