A Creative Way to Use the Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set

You’re going to love this creative way to use the Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! This stamp set is so versatile and here I used it to make a gorgeous sunny card, perfect for anyone you need to send a card to!

Don’t laugh but I designed this entire card around the sentiment! It’s part of the Sunny Sentiments Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! and I just love how this sentiment-only stamp set is for card making. It includes greetings for birthday, friendship, sympathy, thank you, get well soon, and thinking of you cards.

For this card, I wanted to use the “sunny thoughts” sentiment but I didn’t have a “sun” image so I decided to make my own! I pulled out the fun Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set and got to work creating a sun – it was soooo easy! (This could also be a Sunflower depending on your perspective – and that would work too!)

I really do love the mutlitalented Watercolor Shapes stamp set – you can see other ways I’ve used this stamp set here.
