Stampin' Up! Blossoms In Bloom


I've been exited to show you some of the beautiful swap cards I've received and today I  decided to share this one.  This lovely Blossom In Bloom card was created by Carla Bosselaar, from Creative Stamping.  This swap card went to the top of the pile when I received it.  It is stunning, and I wanted to make sure you saw this set to add to your June order if you haven't placed a new-catalog order yet to take advantage of the extra $25 in shopping rewards that ends tomorrow, June 30.  More about that below.  This card showcases the beautiful World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper in Basic Black with Brass Foil checks on the left border of this card.  The die cuts are placed over the stamped image from the Blossoms in Bloom set.  Looking at the close up below, you'll notice a texture to the stamped image, which is created with Stampin' Up!'s DistINKtive-style stamps.  The Many Layered Blossoms Dies created the overlays on the stamped images.  The color choices on this card are sensational in my opinion.  It is one of my favorite, new bundles from the annual catalog.            




The basecard for this card is Crushed Curry.  Then a layer of Whisper White, with a boarder of one of the prints from the World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper.       
   



The blossoms images from the Blossoms In Bloom Stamp were stamped in Crushed Curry on the Whisper White layer. Then the two large dies from the many Layered Blossoms Dies were used to cut the flower outline using Basic Black, and the flower insides using Daffodil Delight cardstock.  These to layers are glued together -- I use wet glue sponged on lightly on top my Silicone Craft Sheet -- and then glued over the stamped blossoms.  




The sentiment is from the Blossoms In Bloom Stamp Set.  It is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Crushed Curry and matted in a slightly larger rectangle of Basic Black Cardstock.   





Here's today's card next to a monochromatic version of this same bundle that I created earlier.  You'll love creating cards you're proud of using the Blossoms In Bloom Bundle.  Your friends and family will feel so special when they receive one of your fabulous, handmade cards.

Introducing the Stampin' Up! Peony Garden Suite

  • Prized Peony Bundle from Stampin' Up!
  • Peony Gardner Designer Series Paper
  • Final 4 Days of Pick-A-Free-Bundle Starter Kit Promotion

Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Stamp Set


I've been waiting to play with the new Peony Garden Suite from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog, and today I finally had time.  I used the Prized Peony Stamp Set and the Peony Dies from the suite along with the coordinating Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon to create today's cards.  This was an easy card.  Now I'm looking forward to using the rest of the dies in the Peony Dies to create a layered Peony.  I think I may have gotten a little carried away with all of the dies I used on this card, but I love the effect.           




The basecard for this card is Gray Granite.  Then a layer of Petal Pink die cut using one of the Ornate Layers Dies.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock with one edge scalloped using one of the dies from the Peony Dies.  Then the image layer is a print from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I love the stitched border created with these Stitched rectangles Dies.     
   



I stamped the Peony in Gray Granite onto Whisper White and colored it using the Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  Then I die cut it using the coordinating die from Peony Dies.  I popped it up on Dimensional and Mini Dimensionals before adding it to the card front.




I used the larger of the two circles from Tasteful Labels Dies and cut it out of Petal Pink Cardstock.  I used one of the sentiments from the Prized Peony Stamp Set and stamped it in Gray Granite.  Then I created a bow with Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon and added it to the card.  I used Elegant Faceted Gems to accent the sentiment and card front.   





The Peony Garden Suite is a lovey suite, with extensive variety.  Take some time to look at the samples on page 84 of the catalog to see more fun ways to use the Prized Peony Bundle.  You can create stunning cards with just a few stamped images, a bit of ribbon and and a few die cuts, and your friends and family will feel so special when they receive one of your charming, handmade cards.
