I’m excited to share a sweet 3″ x 3″ card that’s jam-packed with eclectic items – there are four products on this small card that feature the “Eclectic” name – three from one suite in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog, and one one from Sale-a-Bration. It’s sweet. It’s simple. It’s eclectic. Can you name all four products?
- Four Eclectic Products. As I mentioned, three of the “eclectic-named” items come from one suite in the Annual Catalog. To simplify things, I’ve grouped the Oh So Eclectic stamp set with the Eclectic Layers Framelits Dies – they are sold in the Oh So Eclectic Bundle. Here’s a look at this super-sweet bundle:
During the second Sale-a-Bration release (February 15), we were introduced to Eclectic Expressions, a fun set with several watercolor images and some great sentiments. Here’s a look at the Eclectic Expressions stamp set:
The base of my card is a fun pattern of watercolor spots from Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Here’s a look at the gorgeous colors and patterns in the Naturally Expressions Designer Series Paper:
- Stamping Off for a Light Watercolor Effect. I stamped this flower on Thick Whisper White. I inked up the watercolor splotch from the set with Berry Burst, stamped it off once on scrap paper and then stamped over the flower petals. I stamped the watercolor splotch from Eclectic Expressions (stamping off once on scrap paper) on the stem of the flower and again on the focal panel of the card. I added a little more Berry Burst with a Glitter Enamel Dot.
- Color Combination. I pulled the sweet colors for this card from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Even though Berry Burst is not featured in the paper I showcase in the background of this card (that paper features Lemon Lime Twist, Emerald Envy and Soft Sky), I pulled the Berry Burst suggestion from the other pages. So easy! If you like this combination of Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Emerald Envy, please save this:
Bundles: Oh So Eclectic Stamp Sets: Oh So Eclectic, Eclectic Expressions Papers: Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, Emerald Envy, Basic Black, Whisper White, Thick Whisper White Inks: Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Archival Basic Black Accessories: Glitter Enamel Dots, Eclectic Layers Thinlits, Stampin’ Dimensionals
How eclectic is that?! Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks so much, Maria! I love a little 3″ x 3″ card – the same amount of work goes into one of these as a full-size card, but they are so cute. 🙂 Thanks!
This note card is oh, so eclectic and lovely. The Glitter Enamel Dot is just the right touch of glitz without the glitter!
Thanks, Dianne! I didn’t set out to make such an eclectic card, but…
Glad you like it! <3
It’s a lovely little card Brian…love how you brought in the Berry Burst.
Thanks, Dawn! Glad you like it.
I love this very sweet, eclectic card, Brian. The watercolor splotch works perfectly as a base for the sentiment. I love your color combos, which I save. Enjoy your day!
Thanks so much, HJ! I’m so glad to hear that the color combinations are helpful. So happy to share. Enjoy!
A perfect sentiment and a splashy design!
Thanks, Mary! I always love to hear from you. <3
A delightfully eclectic card! Pretty as can be!
🙂 Thanks, Linda! I’m so happy you like it.
This little 3″ X 3″ card is screaming “SPRING” at me. I like this size for attaching to a gift and so many people have been surprised that they were hand made. Again, your color combo yells happy, happy, happy. Great card designed by a great guy.
Thanks so much, Grace! We are having a lovely weekend, and I want to do my best to share it with everyone who isn’t. <3
