Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video!
I’m creating with the Simon Says Stamp Blissful Bouquet stamp set to make a Birthday Card. It’s been a long time since I’ve stamped a custom floral pattern so I thought it was time I re-visited this amazing technique.

This stamp set features beautiful flowers, along with different types of foliage, some flower buds, and more – lots of great elements to create a floral arrangement, a bouquet, or just dress up your handmade card with some pretty flowers.
Because I’ll be stamping an overlapping pattern, meaning the elements will overlap, I need to create some masks for my images. I used to hate doing making, I didn’t like having to cut the masks out, but I’ve grown to love this technique, it is very easy, yet it lets you do so much more with your stamps. I stamped several of the images, some were stamped twice, and cut them out using scissors.

Next, I grabbed my mini MISTI stamping tool and started to create the pattern on Neenah Solar White cardstock. Watch my video for the step-by-step how-to.

With the stamping done, I colored the image using Copic markers. I did simple flick-style coloring.
- Pink: RV14, RV13, RV11, RV10
- Orange: YR07, YR04, YR00
- Peach: E02, E00, E000
- Green: G99, G94, YG03
- Red: R39, R24, R05, R20.
- The background was colored using OLO BG 7.3.

Next, I stamped the sentiment using the Elegantly Modern Greetings stamp set. I stamped the large Birthday in black ink and cut that out using a coordinating die and next added a small “wished for you”. Finally, I added a touch of sequins to dress up my card.
Have fun stamping!
