Prized Peony with Stampin' Blends

Hello all you happy stampers! I recently started ordering my first Stampin' Blends markers and have to share how wonderful they are. I've colored a few projects with them and they are so easy to use and make you look like a Coloring Pro! I will definitely be adding more colors to my collection soon! I used Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin' Blends for this card. Each shade comes in a combo pack of one light and one dark and each marker comes with a broader end for coloring and a finer tipped end for writing.  I started by coloring the image with the lighter shade and then used the darker shade for some of the lines and shading on the image. The So Saffron was used for the center of the flowers. I also flicked the tip of the broader end of the Flirty Flamingo onto the stamped sentiment piece to give it that pink splash of color.

 

Here is a complete list of the ingredients used on this card:

• Early Espresso cardstock for the base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
• Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP) - 5 1/4 x 4 1/4  - I used the decorative die edge from the Prized Peony Bundle to take off a bit on the 4 1/4 side
• Prized Peony Bundle
• Tasteful Labels Dies
• Stampin' Blends - Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and So Saffron
• Elegant Faceted Gems
• Early Espresso Stampin' Pad for sentiment
• Sentiment of your choice - I chose one from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit
• Adhesive
• 3D dimensionals for the flower images
• Die cutting machine

Below you will find the images of the ingredients used on this card that will take you directly to my online store. Happy Stamping!

Forever in Gold

Hello fellow stampers and Happy Tuesday! Hope today's blog finds you all well. So, I received my first Gold Foil sheets and had to try it out on the Forever Fern bundle. When I first opened the Gold Foil sheets, I was in awe at how perfect and shiny they were. A huge improvement from whatever brand I was using in the past. Definitely need to put the other foil sheet colors on my list to get!

For this card, I used the following ingredients:

• Whisper White Cardstock for the base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and some for the die cut pieces
• Gold Foil Sheet - one 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 piece and then some for the die cut pieces
• Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (DSP) - 4 1/4 x 2 1/4
• Forever Fern Bundle
• Tasteful Labels Dies
• Old Olive Stampin' Pad
• Adhesive
• Die cut machine

I stamped the green splatter from the Forever Fern stamp set in Old Olive to the white card base. I then die cut the gold and white pieces from the Forever Fern Die set. Stamped the image of the leaves onto the two white pieces in Old Olive. Before adhering to the card, it helps to lay everything out to get an idea of where you want the pieces. I then glued the die cut leaves and branches down. Adhere your DSP piece to the 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 gold piece and then glue that down in the middle of the card. Using the Tasteful Labels dies, cut out the larger circle in gold and the smaller in Whisper White. Stamp the sentiment on to the white in Old Olive. Glue this piece to the gold circle and then adhere to middle of DSP piece. I also added the gold die cut piece from the Forever Fern die set to the bottom of the sentiment piece. Really love the look of all this shiny gold!

The pictures below will take you directly to my online store to make this card and so many others! The Forever Fern bundle has so many possibilities! Happy Stamping!

Die Cut Prized Peony

Hello my fellow stampers! Hope everyone is finishing up a fabulous weekend! So, I assembled my first die cut prized peony flower and have to share how cool it is! Once you figure out what die cut pieces to use and how to put it all together, it is relatively easy and fun! I'm excited to try out different color combinations to use with this flower and other ways to give it a different look... distressing, water color and so on. Might even try out one of the DSPs for the flower!

For this card I used the following ingredients:

- Petal Pink cardstock - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 plus a piece to use for the die cut pieces

- Basic Gray cardstock - 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 plus a piece to use for the die cut pieces

- Piece of 5 1/2 x 2 3/4 Peony Garden Designer Series Paper

- Prized Peony cling stamp set 

- Peony Die set

- Tasteful Labels Die set

- Basic Gray Stampin' Pad

- Elegant Faceted Gems

- Adhesive and 3D Dimensionals

- Die cut machine

 Below you will find the pieces you need from the die set to create the peony. The flower pieces basically fit inside one another. The bottom shape of each flower piece is the same so they will line up perfectly when you put them together.

Peony Garden Scrappy Card

Hello my fellow stampers! I hope this Thursday finds you all well. Today's card is featuring the scrappy technique! I love the look of this technique. Such an easy way to create such a neat look that can be used with any paper. A great way to use up some of those scrap pieces you have been collecting! Simply cut your scraps at an angle, adhere to the cardstock and then trim down the edges that are hanging off.

With this card, I used Petal Pink cardstock as my base. I adhered the scrappy pieces, from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper, to Basic Gray cardstock and then adhered that to a slightly larger piece of Basic Gray so that the gray showed around the edges. I used the Tasteful Labels die set to cut out the vellum piece and then the Basic Gray again to stamp my sentiment on. The sentiment I chose is from the Forever Fern (one of my favs!) stamp set and this was embossed in white. I used the Elegant Faceted Gems as a final touch around the sentiment.

Below you will find all the supplies I used for this card with a link that will take you to my online store. Have a wonderful day and Happy Stamping!
