Floral Boutique card set

Today I'm casing a set of cards I saw on a Facebook site for demonstrators preparing for their new catalog open houses.  I know it was a German demonstrator, but I've searched the site several times and can no longer find the site to give attribution to the original creator.  I have made some changes to make them my own.

Flourishing Phrases (141531) and Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper (141663)

I think this is one of the most versatile sets from the new catalog.  There are so many ways to use this stamp set, along with the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, and the coordinating Flourish Thinlit Dies.  This is the second set of cards I've made with this set and matching die set.  Check out my earlier Flourishing Phases and coordinating Flourish Thinlit set.   Here a look at the set of 4 cards, but I'm not done.  I'll be working on more items with this coordinated set and the matching dies.

Flourishing Phrases, Coordinating DSP and the Flourish Thinlit Die.  Click for larger image.

Each card was quick and easy and I think these cards would be a great card set to give as a gift or to keep an use.

Here's a close up of each card:

Floral Boutique Design Series Paper coordinates with Night of Navy card stock.

This card also used the Layering Circles Framelits along with the stamps from the Flourishing Phrases set. The sentiment is also from this set.

May Flowers Framelit (140276)

This card includes a large flower from the May Flowers Framelit, which gives the flower from Flourishing Phases a much larger footprint and adds a lot of interest.  The sentiment uses the new Layering Ovals Framelit.  Both the Layering Circles and the Layering Ovals include scalloped and straight shapes.

Flourishing Phrases image and sentiment.

This card, like all of the cards in this set, is stamped in Night of Navy and Night of Navy card stock is used to frame the DSP.

 

This background is another pattern in the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper

This is such a functional set!  The set of sentiments included makes this a very useful set.  This is one of the more expensive stamp sets in the catalog.  If you're wish list is over $99, consider joining as a demonstrator before June 30 and choose this stamp set as one of two Free stamp set you can select if you decide to purchase a starter kit.  See more details below.

Recipe:

  

• Stamps:  Flourishing Phrases
• Ink:  Night of Navy
• Paper: Thick Whisper White, Night of Navy, Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper
• Accessories and tools:  May Flowers Framelits (14026), Layering Circle Framelits (141705), Layering Ovals Framelits (141706), 5/8" Organza Ribbon (114319)

I've said this before; I'm not done playing with this set. I still have several more color combinations to try. What color combinations will you try?

Baby Bear In Colors

I'm sure you've seen these cute Baby Bears from the 2016-2017 catalog released in June. These wonderful little bears in the In Colors remind me of summer evenings, best friends, and ice cream.

Baby Bear In Colors

I wanted to see for myself how easy these cute little bears would be to create. 

 I spread out my new In-Color stamp pads and coordinating colors, cut a number of 3-3/4 X 3-3/4 white cardstock pieces, and stamped away.    I must say, this 3-step stamp set was really easy to do!

This stamp set includes not only the 3-step stamp set and cute bows, but a number of sentiments.  This would be a cute thank you card for a baby gift o ra cute gift card to include with a baby gift. It even has a sentiment to use on a wedding card!  "To hug and to hold, from this day forward."

Baby Bear in Sweet Sugarplum stamped off, Sweet Sugarplum, and Rich Razzleberry

 

Baby Bear in Mint Macaron, Emerald Envy stamped off, and Emerald Envy

Baby Bear in Peekaboo Peach Stamped off, Peekaboo Peach, and Cajun Craze

Baby Bear in Blushing Bride Stamp Off, Blushing Bride, and Flirty Flamingo

Baby bear in Marina Mist Stamp Off, Marina Mist and Dapper Denim

Here's the full collection of these bears done in the new 2016-2018 In Colors along with the new, matching In Color 3/8" raunched ribbons.

Baby Bears in 2016-2018 In Colors

These are so cute!  I stamped a bunch in each color to keep on hand in my card drawer.  I'll add a sentiment when I'm ready to send them so I can personalize it for what I want to say.

Recipe:

  

• Stamps:  Baby Bear
• Ink:  2016-2018 In Colors (Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum)

Easily cut detailed thinlits with the new Big Shot Platform

A couple of posts ago I showed you the new Flourish Thinlits and the Flourishing Phrases set.  I've continued creating with this wonderful new catalog items and created this card set.

Flourish Thinlits and Flourishing Phrases

First, I really encourage you to get the new Big Shot Platform (142802), the Precision Base Plate (139684) for detailed dies, and the Die Bush (140603) (pictured below). This will make using the new Flourish Thinlit so much easier and fun to create with. The other "must have" when working with this thinlit is the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (138309).

Die Brush easily removes small cut pieces from dies (140603)

 Here are two more of the quick cards I made with this thinlet set.  

Flourish Thinlits and Flourishing Phrases

I used the Project Life Cards and Lables Framelit for the rounded corner inner layer and the project Life corner punch to round the corners on the white layers. Layering Ovals Framelits were used for the sentiment. The Sentiment is from the coordinating Flourishing Phrases stamp set.  The little Melon Mambo flower is also from the Flourishing Thinlits set and I also added some Melon Mambo Thick Baker's Twine to match the color pop from the Melon Mambo flower on the sentiment.

Flourishing Phases was used for the sentiment and Flourish Thinlits created the die cuts.

This card shows off the new Cucumber Crush 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon (141429), which also comes in Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. Most of these were left-over pieces from the remaining piece of Cucumber Crush cardstock after I finished cutting the other cards.

Two cards from the Flourish Thinlits card set 

The card on the left was done for an earlier post. The card on the right is another version of second card shown today. Same Cucumber Crush 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon and die cut.

However, I used the Layering Circle Framelits (141705) with a slightly different placement of the sentiment on this card. With all my tools already out for the rest of the card, this was a fast and easy to make. I added some rhinestones to embellish this card.  The white background uses the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Stampin; Up Flourishing Phrases and Flourish Tinlits

This card was from an earlier post, and sparked the inspiration for the rest of this set.  I kept the cardstock color scheme (

Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Melon Mambo, Cucumber Crush and a Basic Black sentiment)

 consistent across the cards for a more unified look.  I've said it before, but I'll say it again.... love, love, love the way all of my Stampin' Up! tools, images and colors coordinate.  Its a big differentiator between Stampin' Up! and others.
