Here is another super cute card using the “Paradise Garden” Bundle again. Not only do I like the stamp/die bundle, but the coordinating “Garden Party” Designer Series Paper is awesome! HERE was my previous post showcasing this great bundle about two weeks ago featuring a different print from the “Garden Party” Designer Series Paper.
Basically, the Designer Series Paper does the heavy lifting for this card along with the “Everyday Arches” Dies. My color palette for this card is Basic White, Pumpkin Pie and a touch of Peaceful Pine. The leaf spray was stamped on the white die cut arch. Next, I added three stamped and die cut flowers from this bundle. The largest flower is up on a “Dimensional”. To help frame my focal point, I cut an arch “frame” from Pumpkin Pie card stock and layered over the white layer.
There are a few details that are hard to see in my photo. The flower centers are colored a shade of yellow with a “Stampin Blend” and then highlighted with “Wink of Stella Glitter Brush”. Lastly, I decided to add a twine bow from my stash with a “Mini Glue Dot” for some additional interest. This twine was a bit thicker, so I unraveled the ends for a softer look. Honestly, this was a super easy card to create and actually looks quite stunning IRL. One last thing to note, the “Paradise Garden” Bundle comes with a stamp set, coordinating dies AND an Embossing Folder. Now that’s a LOT of value for your crafting dollar!
Recently I was looking through my sample cards and realized that I had not posted this super cute card from my New Catalog Open House in May. So, I am showcasing the “Phrases & Frames”, one last time. Basically, I only used two of the frame dies from this new set of impressions dies. The rest of the card was pieced together with some Designer Series Paper and a greeting.
Honestly this card came together super quick. My color palette was Basic White, Pool Party and a touch of Calypso Coral. My folded card base was Basic White. Next I layered a beautiful striped pattern of Designer Series Paper from the “Beautiful Ordinary Life” pack. Both of the frames were die cut from Pool Party card stock. You can definitely see in my photo that the “Impressions Plate” adds quite a bit of texture and/or depth to these frame die cuts.
I used a birthday greeting found in the “Exciting Times” Bundle. To complete my card, I added a double strand “White Baker’s Twine” bow with a “Mini Glue Dot” to my card. Lastly, I added a few white adhesive-backed Sequins from my stash for a subtle touch of “bling”. I absolutely love the “happy” vibe of this this card. “Phrases & Frames” one last time and oh so easy!
Recently I had time to play with the “Paradise Garden” Bundle. You can find this great bundle in the OnLine Exclusives. The colors in the coordinating “Garden Party” Designer Series Paper are absolutely fabulous! This great bundle includes a hybrid embossing folder along with several coordinating die shapes. I have a few additional cards I will share in the coming weeks that feature some of the other beautiful colors in this Designer Series Paper.
For this card, I chose to work with Basic White and Shaded Spruce. I attached the embossed panel to a Basic White layer along with a coordinating DSP print. The leaf spray was stamped off with Shaded Spruce to give me a lighter version of the leaves. Next, I die cut the leaf spray and attached it to the card front with “Mini Glue Dots”.
For my greeting, I stamped the “Wishing you a lovely day” in Shaded Spruce and die cut with the hexagon shape. I trimmed down this shape along the raised border and then mounted it to the same die cut shape in Shaded Spruce. I attached the greeting to my card front with “Dimensionals”.
To complete my card, I added a double strand “White Baker’s Twine” Bow with a rolled up “Mini Glue Dot”. The last detail was to add a few “White Adhesive Backed Sequins” from my stash. Very difficult to capture in a photo, but I did add a bit of “Wink of Stella” Glitter Pen to the highlight areas on the leaves. Simple and easy, just my style!
