Pear Pizzazz and Ornate Garden Suite

  • Stampin' Up! Ornate Style Stamp Set
  • Ornate Thanks Stamp Set
  • Ornate Garden Suite Early Release

Stampin' Up! Ornate Garden Suite


Since all of the Ornate Garden Suite was still on my work space after creating yesterday's cards, I decided to create another set of cards using the same basic stamp sets and dies.  However, I created a completely different look with the with the addition of one of the prints form the Ornate Garden Suite Designer Series Paper.  The print I chose was a Old Olive flower print on Pear Pizzazz.  I used the Ornate Layers Dies to create a frame for my stamped image  Although this was the same stamped image I used on yesterday's card.  Today I stamped the image on Whisper White and used Blends Markers to color the image.  Then I added a sentiment and an Old Olive ribbon from the suite and my cards were finished!  The greens in this card just seem to jump off the page and make my eyes happy.   





As I mentioned, the basecard for this card is Pear Pizzazz.  Then a layer of Old Olive.  Next is a print layer form the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.  For the image layer, I created a Basic Black Frame using Basic Black cardstock and the Ornate Layers Dies.     

The image from the Ornate Style Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock.  Then I used an assortment of Stampin' Blends Markers to color the image.  




The sentiments is stamped in Pear Pizzazz on Whisper White.  On one of the cards, I also stamped a smaller sentiment in Black along with the larger sentiment from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set.  I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to create a label for the sentiment.  Before I assembled the card, I created a bow using the Old Olive ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack. I placed it between the frame and the colored image so that more of it would show.  It's a beautiful, soft ribbon that's very easy to work with.     






As I mentioned in yesterday's blog post, the Ornate Garden Site is an early release from the Stampin' Up! June 2020 Annual Catalog.   It's available today to order.

Seaside Spray Floral card using Ornate Style Stamp Set

  • Stampin' Up! Ornate Style Stamp Set
  • Ornate Thanks Stamp Set
  • Ornate Garden Suite Early Release

Stampin' Up! Ornate Garden Suite


Want an early start on products from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual catalog?  The Ornate Garden Suite is an early release suite that you can order from the new catalog today.  Why wait.  Start having fun with new catalog products now.  Today I used both of the stamp sets from this suite -- Ornate Style Stamp Set and Ornate Thanks Stamp Set.  I wanted to use some of the beautiful Grapefruit Grove cardstock, which is retiring June 2, and I wanted a version using Seaside Spray, which is an In Color that will remain current until the end of next year's annual catalog.    I love that different colors all look great with this suite. First, the Seaside Spray version.  





The basecard for today's card is Seaside Spray.  Then there's a Whisper white cardstock layer.  The next layer is Seaside Spray dry embossed with Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. Next, I die cut a Whisper White layer usig Stitched So Sweetly Dies.    

The image from the Ornate Style Stamp Set is stamped in Versamark, covered with White Stampin' Emboss Powder and set using my Heat Tool.  Then it is fussy cut leaving  a small border around the image and popped up on Dimensionals before adding it to the card front.




The sentiments is stamped in Seaside Spray ink and die cut using one of the dies from the Ornate Layers Dies.  The sentiment is popped up on Dimensionals on the edges only.  A 2019-2021 In Color Faceted Dots (now on sale), is added to the corner of the image layer.    






I created the same card in Grapefruit Grove cardstock and Ink as well as a way to use up as much Grapefruit Grove Cardstock before it retires.  Its one of my favorite colors and I will miss it greatly.  This is such a fun, simple card that goes together quickly when you need a special message for someone you love.  You See how easy it is to create this card in your favorite cardstock and ink colors.    

The new Annual Stampin' Up catalogs will be available for customer orders on June 3.  Stampin' Up! is shipping catalogs directly to my customers who have purchased from me in the past 6 month.  My customers will receive their new catalogs mid- to late-May and can begin placing orders June 3.  If you don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, contact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
