Stampin' Up! Serene Garden Bundle and Gorgeous Grape

  • Stampin' Up! Serene Garden
  • Stampin' Up! Garden Grape and Heather Highland
  • Seats available for Sunday afternoon Card Making Class

Stampin' Up! Serene Garden Bundle


Yes, it's another card with the Stampin' Up! Serene Garden stamp set.  I can put it down!  If you love dramatic, artistic cards, you'll love working with this stamp set and coordinating dies.  Today, I paired two new colors with this set -- Gorgeous Grape and Heather Highland.  I just made a bunch of these cards for a card swap, but I couldn't wait to show it to you.  This card uses a technique called Embossed Resist.    Its created by sponging ink over a heat-embossed image.  

     



The basecard for this card is Heather Highland.  Then a layer of Gorgeous Grape.  The image layer is Whisper White.  The leaf images from the Serene Grapefruit Grove is stamped in VersaMark Ink on Whisper White.  Then the VersaMark is covered with White embossing powder and heat embossed with my Heat Tool.  I used a sponge and Gorgeous Grape ink pad and swirled the embossed area, covering the White embossed image.  Use a paper towel or tissue to wipe any ink off the embossed area.   The bird is also White heat embossed on a small piece of Gorgeous Grape.  Then it is die cut using the coordinating Garden Scene Framelit Dies. 

   





The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings set.  Its stamped in Gorgeous Grape on Whisper White and then die cut using one of the Stitched Labels Framelits.  It is backed with a small piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock.   The bottom of the card includes a dotted line created by one of the dies in the Stitched Labels Framelit Dies set, adding to the interest of this card.  I love the look of the sponged color on this card.  It looks good enough to eat!  In this heat, I wish I had a grape ice!

Make a Difference Alphabet set and more... from Stampin' Up!

  • Make A Difference alphabet set and more
  • Share What You Love Early Release Suite
  • Last-Chance items retire May 31; Don't miss your favorites

Make a Difference Stamp Set 


Today you're probably looking at the photo below and saying to yourself, " Which stamp set was used for that sentiment?  I don't remember seeing that sentiment in the Share What You Love Suite."  Well, I used the new Make A Difference Stamp set, an alphabet set that you can use to easily create sentiments to meet your needs.  

The Make A Difference stamp set includes not only upper and lower case letters, in two different fonts, and also includes numbers, some common double letters and an assortment of symbols and small sentiments for more usefulness.  There's a Stampin' Up! copyright to ensure your cards meet the Angle Policy if you're selling your finished cards.  There is also a few items for tags, such as "to" and "from", or for an envelope "deliver to", More sentiments for the back of cards or projects:  "Handstamped by," or "Handcrafted just for you" or "created by."  There are even stamps to personalize your books or stamp sets with, "This belongs to".  You can create your own name to use with any of these statements to personalize your creations.  I can't wait to use, "From the desk of."
     



I used an Old Olive base card.  Then I dry embossed the Lovely Floral embossing folder image on a Whisper White Layer.  I created a 1-3/4" X 5-1/4" banner under the image block and decorated the banner with one of the flower and branch images from the Make a Difference Alphabet set. I stamped the image in Versamark on the Old Olive banner to give it an softer look.   

The image block is Whisper White backed with an old Olive mat.  The images of the flower, stems and backgrounds are from the Share What You Love set.  The leaves and stems are stamped in Old Olive.  The flowers were stamped in Grapefruit Grove on Whisper White and fussy cut before popping them up on Dimensionals.

The sentiment uses a new die from the June 1 catalog called Stitched Label Framelits and it is matted with a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Framelits.  A few of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls were added to the card.     

  


  

This stamp set is part of the Gotta Have It All bundle from the Share What You Love Suite, and its available for purchase now -- before the release of the new Annual Catalog coming out June 1.  Purchasing one of the three bundles includes free gifts.  After May 31, the Share What you love bundles can still be purchased from the new catalog, but the free gifts go away.  Download a brochure with details about the free gifts and each of the three bundles here
