I am in love with the new Mixed Florals Suite that you can find in Stampin' Up!'s Online Exclusives (there is a link below ~ click on it). I have been using the Color Coach to imagine new color combinations for the pretty daisy in the stamp set. I stamped on our watercolor paper using Memento ink and colored with my blends for the variety below. I have lots of daisies for cards yet to be imagined!
You can find the TILED TECHNIQUES stamp set on page 60 in the January Mini Catalog. You can find the GRATEFUL BLESSING stamp set on page 120 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. I decided to use the two of them together and was pleasantly surprised to use almost every one of the stamps (so frustrating to have a stamp set and use only a few of the images!). I used the BOHO BLUE stamp pad and cardstock along with a Basic White base card. The cards are really easy peasy ~ just decorate each of the cards with the Tiled Technique designs in various ways. The information below is for the card using the sentiment 'you're such a blessing'.
Supplies:
Stamp sets: Grateful Blessing (163689); Tiled Techniques (164829)
Cardstock: Boho Blue (161724); Basic White (159276)
Stamp Pad: Boho Blue (161650)
Miscellaneous: Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)
Measurements:
Basic White: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded; 3 3/4" x 5"
Boho Blue: 4" x 5 1/4"
Instructions:
1. Stamp the image on all four corners of the cardstock using Boho Blue ink.
2. Stamp the sentiment in the middle.
3. Adhere the Boho Blue cardstock to the base card. Adhere the stamped piece.
4. Stamp a flower design from Grateful Blessing on the inside of the card.

I made this card for a swap. The MIXED FLORALS BUNDLE will be available as an online exclusive in January. The embossing folder is called Plaster Painting. The lovely DSP is Mixed Media Florals ~ one of several floral designs I know you will love. The DSP uses ten of the Stampin' Up! colors! Here is the stamp set ~
And, I wanted you to know that Alan saw his nephrologist, Dr. Z, today and he starts dialysis tomorrow. I am so relieved and so thankful. He has had deteriorating health since October of this year. He was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2015. His doctor is amazed at the length of time that he has been a 'healthy' kidney patient but knew that eventually he would need more support. I am relieved and looking forward to this support and his health improving.

You can find this stamp set, Embraced With Love (#164246, $21), in the CHEERS TO LOVE & FRIENDSHIP section in the September – December Mini Catalog on page 60. It is a warm and friendly stamp set, easy to send to a sick friend, a friend you are missing or someone who just bring you JOY. The four sentiments cover all of those situations. I used the HOPE YOU KNOW (#161409, $24, page 85 AC) sentiment set because the ‘Wishing You Comfort’ seemed to fit the cozy bunny and bear perfectly!
