We’ve got a few ideas on how you can create gorgeous alternate cards. Get inspired by different ways you can use the Sweet Sunflowers Kit to uplift your friends and family! For more inspiration, make your way to our Pinterest profile to see more projects!
Wishing You So Much Happiness
- Use the pink and yellow watercolor card base from the August Paper Pumpkin Kit. Flip it over so that the side without the printed design is now the front of your card. The card will be 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" (8.3 x 14 cm).
- On two precut sunflower pieces, stamp the sunflower petals in Crushed Curry. Use the Twist technique to stamp, turn, and stamp again for added dimension. Stamp the center of the sunflower in Soft Suede.
- Stamp the sentiment in Soft Suede on the reverse side of a precut label.
- On the front of the card, arrange the two sunflowers and three floral stem precut pieces. Before adhering, stamp a few leaves in Soft Suede directly onto the card front so that they stick out of your paper arrangement. Layer the floral stem pieces and adhere. Then using dimensionals, adhere the sunflowers and a couple cute bumblebees.
- For the final touch, use dimensionsals to adhere the label with the sentiment.

For a One-of-a Kind Friend
- Create a 3-1/4" x 5-1/2" (8.3 x 14 cm) card base using Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.
- Use the 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut out a piece of Basic White Cardstock. Stamp the floral image (with the letter at the center) from the Full of Love Stamp Set onto the square piece in black Memento Ink. Color the flowers and leaves using Stampin Blends—Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Polished Pink, and Poppy Parade.
- Stamp the same image on a piece of Masking Paper and fussy cut to create a mask. Place over the colored stamp image (make sure it’s dry). Place the Specialty Vellum honeycomb precut piece from the August Paper Pumpkin Kit over the mask so it covers the square piece. This will act as a stencil.
- Using one of the Blending Brushes, gently brush over the stencil in Polished Pink. Add more ink toward the center and less ink toward the corners to create an ombre effect. Once dry, peel off the stencil and mask.
- Cut a 1-1/8" x 1-1/4" (2.9 x 3.2 cm) piece of Basic White Cardstock. Stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Sunflowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Polished Pink. Adhere to the center of the floral image using dimensionals.
- Stamp a bee in black Memento Ink from the same stamp set. Color the image using Stampin’ Blends Daffodil Delight, fussy cut it, and adhere to the top right corner of the sentiment.
- Tie a piece of the Sweet Sorbet Baker’s Twine (from the 2022–2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack) around the center of the card base and tie a bow to the right of the card.
- On top of the twine, adhere the 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) square piece onto the card base using dimensionals to complete the look!

Thank You Box
- Cut a piece of Old Olive Cardstock to 5" x 6" (12.7 x 15.2 cm) and score at 1" (2.5 cm) on each side to create a box base. Cut the sides to create tabs, then adhere them to make a box.
- Repeat step 1 to create a box lid.
- Stamp a sunflower from the August Paper Pumpkin kit in Rich Razzleberry ink. Press the closed lid of the Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin’ Pad to create a pool of ink in the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up the ink and color the image using the inked Blender Pen and the Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends marker.
- Stamp the leaves from the Sweet Sunflowers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Old Olive ink. Press the closed lid of the Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad to create a pool of ink in the lid, then use a Blender Pen to pick up the ink and color the image.
- Cut the sunflower and the leaves using Paper Snips.
