Saturday Stamping: Bringing Cherry Blossoms to Life on a Budget

Saturday, April 05, 2025 | By: Lea Lawson

Happy Saturday, crafty friends! It's been a while since I had some fun with a stamp & die set on its own, and this time I dove in without stencils—ink blending a gorgeous cherry blossom window freehand. I absolutely love how it turned out! You could also color it with markers, colored pencils or watercolor.

Crafting on a budget is a must, and you can snag this Colorful Expressions Blossom stamp & die set for under $10. With loads of delightful sentiments that will mix perfectly with your other supplies, it's also the ideal time of year to feature this charming cherry blossom arch! I finished things off by foiling the background in rose gold with the Colorful Splash hot foil set, though you can easily swap it for a coverplate die, embossing folder, or any background product you have on hand. 😉

These products are all part of the Club Rewinds sale happening right now at Spellbinders, where you can add some great items to your crafting arsenal on a budget!

Easy step by step instruction:

  • Cut & fold an A2 card base from light green cardstock.
  • Hot foil the background in rose gold to white cardstock, then trim to 4" x 5.25". Mount to the card base with foam adhesive.
  • Heat emboss the cherry blossom arch in gold to white cardstock.
  • Ink blend the heat embossed image in Peony, Sage & Gathered Twig inks.
  • Diecut the ink blended arch with the coordinating die, then mount to the card base with thin foam strips.
  • Stamp the main sentiment in onyx black ink to white cardstock, then diecut with two additional layers. Stack & glue together.
  • Heat emboss the secondary sentiment in gold to white cardstock, then diecut with the coordinating strip die.
  • Adhere the sentiments to the front as shown.
  • Accent with Pink color essential gems to finish.

I'm thrilled with how this freehand cherry blossom card turned out, celebrating both creative expression and budget-friendly crafting. I hope it inspires you to mix techniques and embrace the beauty of handcrafted imperfections in your own projects!
