Fancy Phrases

Here is another stamp set that is very versatile.

You could use just about any greeting with the flowers.

I used Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the flowers.

I colored the Playing with Patterns Resin Dots with the Highland Heather Stampin' BLend.

After I stamped the greeting onto the 3 1/4"x 5 1/2" piece of white c/s, I used the Subtle Embossing Folder on it.

The scallops come from the Peony Dies.

I added Wink of Stella to the flowers.

On the next card, the greeting comes from the Peaceful Moments Set.

I used the Real Red card stock, Ink pad, along with the Real Red, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends.

Again, I colored onto the Resin Dots with the Real Red Stampin' Blend.

You can recreate this card in so many colors!

So Inviting Stamp Set with Flowers for Every Season

I absolutely LOVE the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Papers!!

After the card that you see below that designed recently with the paper, I ended up with a 2 1/4"x 6" strip of each paper left.

The card below takes a 3 3/4" square.

So today, I decided to see what I could design with that strip!

I have a lot of Thank You cards to send out.  Here is what I came up with.

I cut the strip of designer paper to 2 1/4"x 5" and mounted it on a 5 1/4"x 2 1/2" piece of coordinating card stock.

Next, I the ran the front of the white card through the Subtle Embossing Folder.

I cut two of the Misty Moonlight Stitched So Sweetly Labels and colored the three rhinestones with the dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blend.

Of course, you can stamp many different greetings on the label!

A set of these would really make a nice gift!

Once I realized how easy this card is to make and how much I liked it, I went ahead and used a lot of the different papers in the same design.

I have listed below some of the  products that were used on these cards.

Prized Peony

Here is another idea for the Prized Peony using primarily the Peony Dies.

I have included a video below that explains how to put the peony flower together.

The scalloped border is from the Peony Dies.  Don't you love it!

The designer paper along the right side of the card is 1"x 5 1/2".

I explain in the first part of the video how to put the flower together.

The Peony Garden Designer Paper is 2 3/4"x 5 1/2".

Prized Peony Z Cards - Two Sizes

The Z cards are so much fun to make and very easy. 

The scoring is precise if you have the Simply Scored Board or some easy way to score the card stock.

Open the card...

• Score the 8 1/2"x 5 1/2" white card stock at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".
• Fold back the front flap.
• Cut two pieces of the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) at 1 7/8"x 5 1/4".
• Use the third from the largest Stitched Nested Label Die to cut out another piece of the Peony Garden DSP.
• Use the largest Stitched Nested Label Die to cut out a Gray Granite label, and the next size down Nested Label to cut out a white label.
• Layer the three labels and add it to the left front flap.
• Color in the Peony with what ever colors you choose.  I used Flirty Flamingo, Call Me Clover, and Shaded Spruce Stampin' BLends.
• Add some white faceted jewels to the card.

 

I'll show you two options for the next style Z  Card.  The first one is with two of the smaller peonies. I colored on the Playing with Patterns Resin Dots with the Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend and added them to the card!

Even though the Thank You Die has retired, many of you have it.  It makes a simple card.

I think that you can see the gems a little better below.  They are on the right side of the labels.

I liked the design of this card, however, I felt like it was a little boring.  So I decided to add a "pop" when you pull the card open.

• Score the 11 1/4" x 4 1/4" Gray Granite c/s at 2 3/4", and at 5 1/2".
• Cut a 5 1/4"x 4" white piece of c/s to place inside the card.
• Cut a 4"x 2 1/2" piece of white c/s for the front flap.
• Also use the second largest Stitched Nested Label Die to cut out a white label for the front.
• The Thank you Die is cut in both white (underneath layer) and Basic Gray).
• The Peony Garden DSP is cut at 3 3/4"x 2 1/4" for the left flap and 2 3/8"x 3 3/4" for the right side of the card.

Maybe I'll figure out a way to put more pop onto the front.  Let me know if you have any suggestions!!

Prized Peony - My Thoughts are With You

The Prized Peony Bundle includes the Prized Peony set and the Peony Dies.

One of the dies makes the delightful scallop that you see on each side of the white card stock.

I added a layer of Basic Gray behind the scallops and then used the Peony Garden Designer Paper for the background paper.

I have two layers of the peony added underneath the colored one on top (instead of dimensionals).

When I first made this card, I used the Braided Punch.  I didn't realize that it had been retired.  So I went back and took it off and moved the peony and the embellishments down a little bit.  Below is how I first made the card.

I have listed below the products that you will want so that you can make this card!
