Saying Hello to Ornate Garden

Rosanne April 1, 2020 April 1, 2020All Occasion, Cards, Friendship, Just Because, Thinking of You

Hello…happy Wednesday (I hope)! The days are just all running into each other for me in this new normal we’re now experiencing. However, with all the uncertainty and risk that healthcare workers and all others who are still out there doing their jobs are facing, there is no room in my life for complaints. I’m keeping them all in my daily prayers while trying to keep a positive attitude and staying safely at home.

On a lighter note…I’m excited to share that the new Ornate Garden Suite of products is now available. These products are being released early and will be carried in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I’ve been creating with them for about a week and I must say that I’m having a hard time stopping. Take a look at the video for a glimpse of all the stamping goodness this suite has to offer…

…and here is one of the cards I came up with using a few of the products from the Ornate Garden suite.

As soon as I saw that the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper featured daisies, I was one happy stamper! I’m offering a free sample pack of this pretty paper as part of my monthly rewards for April. You can see all the details at the end of the post.

Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper #152488 $15.00

Daisies just make me smile! I absolutely love the Daisy and Medium Daisy punches. They make creating these darling flowers just so easy. I’ve used both many times and was very pleased to take them out again.

Materials & Measurements

Card Base: Whisper White Thick Card Stock cut at 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″
DSP: cut at 5 3/8″ x 1 1/2″
Old Olive Card Stock: cut at 5 3/8″ x 1″ and 5 3/8″ x 2″
Whisper White Card Stock: cut at 5 3/8″ x 7/8″ and 5 3/8″ x 1 7/8″
Old Olive Card Stock: cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″ (for inside)
Whisper White Card Stock: cut at 5″ x 3 3/4″ (for inside)

Details

Adhere the DSP panel about 1/16″ from the card base top and bottom and about 3/4″ in from the left side of the card base.
Emboss the two Whisper White panels with the Subtle Embossing Folder and glue to the Old Olive panels leaving a 1/16″ border on either side.
Cut two Whisper White borders from the Ornate Borders dies and glue to the Old Olive panels.
Using Foam Adhesive Strips, adhere both panels leaving a thin, even border.around the card base as this creates a pretty 3D effect around the DSP.

Punch 6 daisies from the Medium Daisy punch in Whisper White card stock. I embossed 4 of them with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I really liked the interesting texture it gave them.
The leaves, from the Floral Essence stamp set, are stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive ink and punch with the Leaf Punch.
The Daisy centers were punch from the retired Owl Punch but you can use any small circle punch in Crushed Curry and Early Espresso card stock.
The flower on the right is glued directly to the card. The one on the left is adhered with a dimensional.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set and punched with the Classic Label punch. This little punch is great for small sentiments.
The sentiment strip is adhered with a couple of mini dimensionals.

The inside sentiment, from the Honey Bee stamp set, is stamped in Early Espresso ink
As always, I love to coordinate the inside of the card and envelope.

Pairing the daisies with just a strip of the Garden Ornate Designer Series Paper doesn’t overwhelm them while still giving the card a pretty clean look.

Like I said, another thing to love about this beautiful collection is that it will be in the new Annual Catalog, so we’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it! To see all the products featured in the Ornate Garden Suite, click HERE

Saying Goodbye to Sale-a-Bration with Flowering Foils

Rosanne March 31, 2020 March 31, 2020All Occasion, Cards, Encouragement, Friendship, Just Because, Love, Note Cards, Thank You, Thinking of You

Comments: 2

Can you believe it’s the end of Sale-a-Bration already? It’s such a fun time, especially with the staggered releases as there’s always something new & free to look forward to. I’ve enjoyed a few of the stamps but I have to say that the Designer Series Paper offers were my favorite. Today I’m sharing a set of note cards featuring two of these collections that I think are absolutely beautiful and would have purchased anyway if they weren’t offered for free: Flowering Foils and Very Vellum.

I really couldn’t say which DSP I like better as I think they compliment each other so well.

Materials & Measurement

The card base is a Whisper White Note Card which measure 5″ x 3 1/2″
The next card stock layer measures 4 7/8″ x 3 3/8″
So Very Vellum panel is cut at 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″
Copper Foil strip is cut at 4 3/4″ x 1″
Whisper White strip on the “friend” and “thank you” cards measures 4 3/4″ x 3/4″
The banner on the “hello” card is 1/2″ wide.

Details

The colored card stock is glued to the note card
Next the vellum is adhered to the card stock. Vellum is difficult to glue down without it being seen. I used a very light touch of snail adhesive on each corner and it seemed to work well.

Stampin up Flowering Foils Note Cards -Rosanne Mulhern stampinup

Pool Party Background / Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz Flower

The sentiments are stamped on Whisper White card stock with Versa Mark and heat embossed with Copper embossing powder.
The sentiment strip is glued to the Copper Foil strip which is then glued to the So Very Vellum panel.

Purple Posy Background / Highland Heather & Pear Pizzazz Flower

The flowers were hand snipped from the Flowering Foils DSP.
Coloring the flowers were quick and easy using sponge daubers and the colors indicated under each card.

Soft Sea Foam Background / Rococo Rose & Pear Pizzazz Flower

I really enjoyed creating these cards and love how soft and pretty they turned out. I’ll be making these in sets of six and gifting a few sets. Today is the last day you can purchase the Flowering Foils and So Very Vellum Designer Series Papers. For each order of $50 or more (which would qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration product) I’ll be sending one of these cards as a thank you.

While this is a difficult time, I hope you are doing well and spending some time doing things that give you joy.

Please take care,

Rosanne

Hello & Pass it Along!

Like almost everyone in our country, I’m staying home and practicing social distancing. If there is an upside to this, it’s that I’m stamping more. Most of us know that this hobby we enjoy can provide much needed creative therapy and take our minds away from the stresses of the day, if only for a little while. So along with this much needed respite, I’ve been creating simple cards to send to friends, family and customers. Here’s one I sent out recently.

Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper is the star of this card. The patterns in this collection are so pretty and versatile. So much so, that I’ve created this card with very little stamping, allowing the paper to shine.

Magnolia Lane DSP #149484

Materials & Measurements

Whisper White Thick card stock: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
Mossy Meadow card stock: 5 1/4″ x 4, cut 2: for front and inside
Magnolia Lane DSP: 5″ x 3 3/4″
Whisper White card stock: 5″ x 3 3/4″, for inside
Vellum, Petal Pink & Mossy Meadow card stock scraps

Details

First stamp the “Hello” sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set on the DSP panel with Versa Mark and Black embossing powder.
Adhere DSP to the Mossy Meadow card stock.
Before gluing the Mossy Meadow panel to the card base, wrap a piece of 1/4″ Old Olive Twill Ribbon around the panel.

Using the Layering Circles, cut two scalloped circles: one from Petal Pink card stock and a larger on from Vellum and glue together, then glue onto card.
The flower is cut from the DSP and adhered with dimensionals.

I thought this sentiment, from the Floral Essence stamp set, was such a nice way to let someone know that your thinking of them and wishing them well, especially at this uncertain time.
A bit of DSP and strip of Mossy Meadow card stock embellishes the panel.

Along with sending these cards and my good wishes, I’m enclosing this blank note card for the recipient to pass along with their own good wishes.

I hope that you’re adjusting well to our “new normal” and can find some time to relax and enjoy a little stamping therapy. Perhaps you’ll consider making and sending cards as just another form of social distancing. And consider it a win/win!

Please take care,

Rosanne

Forever Blossoms Birthday

Rosanne March 24, 2020 March 24, 2020Birthday, Cards

Comments: 3

Today I’m sharing a card featuring my favorite bundle in the Occasions Catalog, Forever Blossoms. And how timely, as all the cherry trees are blossoming in my area despite the havoc going on around us. Thank goodness for that and what a welcome sight!

Materials & Measurements

Whisper White Thick card stock: 4 1/4″ x 11, scored at 5 1/2″
Basic Black card stock: 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Whisper White card stock: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Details

The Whisper White card panel was embossed with the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder, leaving about 1 1/2″ at the top un-embossed…if that’s even a wordU.
The sentiment, from the Varied Vases stamp set, is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on the smooth portion of this panel. Then glued it directly to the Basic Black card stock.
Next a piece of 1/2″ Black Satin ribbon is wrapped around both panels before gluing them directly to the card base.

The blossoms were colored with Stampin’ Blends and cut with the Cherry Blossoms Dies.
Two blossom sprays are layered and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A black baker’s twine (retired) bow bundles the sprays together.
Finally, I added a few Clear Epoxy Droplets for a pretty finishing touch.

I didn’t feel that this card needed any DSP as these flowers can really hold their own. So I used the same flower image on the inside. It’s stamped with Smoky Slate ink. I’ve also embellished the envelope with this image.
The sentiment is also from the Varied Vases stamp set. This is a set that I’ve used and loved for quite a while.

I hope these pretty blossoms lifted your spirits today and that you’re navigating these uncertain days well. Stamping has been such a pleasant distraction for me and I hope for you also. Please stay safe!

Take care,

Rosanne
