It’s November?! That can only mean one thing – time for a new challenge at Stinkin’ Inkers! The challenge is perfect – “Just Because – Create a card or project for a friend, anniversary, wedding, etc.” I absolutely love making cards that can be used for any occasion and had just gotten the beautiful Botanical Bliss stamp set and its coordinating dies, Botanical Tags Thinlits. What better time to use it!
My Secrets to Making This Botanical Bliss Project
- My Secret to making this card was using Frosted White Shimmer Paint all over the Tranquil Textures DSP. I lightly rubbed it over the DSP with a Dauber Sponge and let it dry. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!
- The tag was made by first cutting out the 2 1/2′ x 6″ Night of Navy cardstock with the tag from Botanical Tags, carefully cutting it down to 2″ with my Stampin’ Trimmer, then flagging the end with the Banner Triple Punch.
- White Velvet Paper was cut with flower thinlit, then adhered to the DSP with Tombow Glue that was dabbed on with a Stampin’ Sponge.

Botanical Tags Thinlits Dies
Create great die-cut botanical tags in record time with Thinlits dies and the Big Shot. The medallion and flower dies also have Edgelits that can separate the die image to be used as a separate piece on a project. The Edgelits were designed to be longer than the tag piece to ensure the image is cut completely.

Love the card! How did you get the bird’s tail on the tag?
Hi, Lisa! The bird was stamped and fussy cut, then adhered to the banner. Hope that helps!
