Soft Sea Foam Thank You card using Stampin' Up! So Sentimental

  • So Sentimental Stamp Set
  • Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder
  • Early Release of Ornate Garden Suite Collection from new catalog

Stampin' Up! So Sentimental Stamp Set


I wanted to create a card that used some of the retiring item before they retire on June 2 and also featured some items that will carry over to the new, annual Stampin' Up! catalog going live June 3.  Items used on this card that are retiring are the Leaf Punch, Birthday Dies, Nobel Peacock Rhinestones and So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.  While its always sad to lose some of your favorites, I'm always happy when I can use items a little longer.  The Small Bloom Punch, the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the So Sentimental Stamp Set and coordinating dies WILL carry over to the new catalog. If you've had your eyes on the So Sentimental Bundle, you'll want to order this set before June 3, to take advantage of the bundle pricing.  Bundle pricing on this set ends June 2, even though this bundle will carry over to the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog and be available as individual items.  Save 10% when you purchase the So Sentimental Bundle. If there are other bundles you've had your eye on, be sure to purchase them before the release of the new annual catalog. It's all in the Retiring Products information I posted in my recent post.  Order your favorites before they are gone.





The basecard for today's card is Soft Sea Foam.  Then another layer of Soft Sea Foam dry embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  Then a layer of So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The Whisper White layer was die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  

The sentiments, from the So Sentimental Stamp Set was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. 




The edges of the cards are decorated with die cuts and punches, including the Leaf Punch, The Small Bloom Punch, stems and leaves from the Birthday Dies.  These elements were die cut and punched from Whisper White, Soft Sea Form and Vellum Cardstock.  The centers of each flower includes an Old Olive Rhinestones from the Noble Peacock Rhinestones, which are on sale on the Last-Chance Product list.        






If you need a special card, this is a beautiful card layout that you can use with your favorite colors and your favorite punches and dies. 

The new Annual Stampin' Up catalogs will be available to customers June 2, and I've  submitted my list to Stampin' Up! to have catalogs sent directly to my customers who have purchased within the past 6 months.  They 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.

Stampin' Up! Petal Pink Poppy Moments Card

  • Stampin' Up! Poppy Moments Dies
  • Stampin' Up! Bloom & Grow
  • Special Paper Pumpkin Kit - Box of Sunshine

Stampin' Up! Poppy Moments Dies


I'm using the Poppy Moments Dies again today. I paired it with one of the dies from the Ornate Garden Suite.  A simple Poppy in Petal Pink with a Black Satin ribbon really makes this card pop. If you love this set of dies and coordinating Peaceful Moments Stamp Set as much as I do, you'll want to order this set before June 3, to take advantage of the bundle pricing.  Bundle pricing on this set ends June 2, even though this beautiful bundle will carry over to the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog and be available as individual items.  Save 10% when you purchase the Peaceful Moments Bundle. If there are other bundles you've had your eye on, be sure to purchase them before the release of the new annual catalog. It's all in the Retiring Products information I posted in my recent post.  Order your favorites before they are gone.





The basecard for today's card is Petal Pink.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then another layer of Petal Pink stamped with one of the stamp sets from the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set.  I stamped the flower background in Petal Pink ink stamping off once before stamping the background.  Then a layer of Whisper White die cut using one of the dies from the Ornate Layers Dies.




The sentiments I used are from the Very Versailles Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  The flower was created using the Poppy Moments Dies.  I cut two bottom layers and then one detailed top layer.  The center is cut from Basic Black cardstock.  The 1/2" Black Satin Ribbon is tied in a bow before adding it to the card.  The card is accented with sequins.  One card uses Gold Sequins from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.  The other card uses some of the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins, which are on sale for $3.00 on the Last-Chance Product list.        






I think the Poppies Moments Dies create beautiful cards in almost any color.  You'll find it's a beautiful set to use for many different occasions.  

The new Annual Stampin' Up catalogs will be available to customers June 2, and I've  submitted my list to Stampin' Up! to have catalogs sent directly to my customers who have purchased within the past 6 months.  They 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!
