Petal Passion Suite


Today was cloudy, gray and windy in Houston, with a few sprinkles of rain.  While it was warm, the gray clouds put a damper on my mood.  I decided I needed color to cheer me up, and my craft room holds the wonderful tools to lift my mood.  I choose a black and white print from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper Pack for coloring.  This paper can be colored with Blends, color pencils or our Stampin' Wight Markers.  I choose Blends.  I think even my camera was happy with today's card!  It really brightened my mood.  
               






The Petal Passion Suite is from the Occasions Catalog.  Papers, Dies, Stamp sets, embossing folders and embellishments are all part of this suite.  

I used the Light and Dark Calypso Coral and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends to color the large flower I selected from the 12 X 12" paper pack.  This paper is such a value because it can be colored to coordinate with any of your cardstock colors, or leave it "as is" for striking black and white card designs. . . It's up to you!    




Then I tried several ribbons, and decided to create my own.  I selected the Gold Metallic-Edged 3/8" ribbon and used the Dark Calypso Coral alcohol-based Blends to color the ribbon.  It takes seconds to air dry.  I think the Gold metallic edge gives the card just the right amount of bling without being too much. I'm also happy to see that this ribbon will carry over to the new catalog in June.  Using Blends to color this metallic-edged ribbon means I'll be able to match many more colors without purchasing ribbons in every color. 

I selected the Thank You sentiment from the Petal Palette stamp set, which coordinates with the paper, and stamped the sentiment on Whisper White in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I used the Layering Ovals Framelits to cut the Whisper White and a Basic Black scalloped oval to frame the sentiment.   This was such a fast card to put together, yet it looks amazing!      







The good news is that the Petal Palette stamp set and coordinating dies will carry over to the new catalog.  However, you probably noticed that the bundle is on the Last-Chance Product list (see below).  To clarify, this means that the 10% savings on the bundle will retire May 31.  However, you'll still be able to purchase the stamp set and coordinating Petals & More dies individually in the new catalog coming out in June.  You'll want to purchase them at the 10% savings now if you have this set on your wish list.  You'll also want to pick up a couple packs of the coordinating papers used on today's card before May 31, since the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper will retire on May 31.  Hurry, as the paper will only be available until it sells out.

Petal Garden Suite from Stampin' Up! is full of yummy bright colors

Petal Garden Suite


This time of the year, as the new Stampin' Up! catalog is on the horizon, I start to feel bad about the stamps or papers I purchased that I haven't had time to play with.  I'm sure that never happens to you.

So today I'm playing with the Petal Garden Designer Series Papers.  It is a set of papers, with yummy brights that coordinate with Calypso Coral, Old Olive Rich Razzleberry and other prints in the set that coordinate with Sweet Sugarplum and Pool Party.  It is such a feast for the eyes.  I picked two different prints and pair them with Old Olive and Fresh Fig.   
               






Today's card uses a Thick Whisper White basecard, then a layer Petal Gardens, then a layer of Pear Pizzazz, and then another print from Petal Gardens.  

Then, dies cuts from Petal  & More Thinlit dies was used for the element at the bottom and to cut the sentiment.  The bottom element is cut from Fresh Fit.  A Fresh Fig strip creates a thin border around the Whisper White sentiment, as well.  

The sentiment is from the You're Inspiring set, which was still sitting on my work surface from yesterday's card.  I used  The Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends to color some small Metallic Enamel Shapes for each end of the sentiment.  The ribbon is 1/8" Sheer Calypso Coral Ribbon.  These are beautiful prints and I'm looking forward to making more cards with this set of Designer Series Papers.     







The Petal Garden Suite includes a coordinating embossing folders, the Graceful Garden stamp set, sheer ribbons and also coordinates with the Petal Garden Memories and More Card Pack.  Before its gone, take a look at the full Suite and think about the fun projects you'll create with this set of products.  Then order before its gone forever.
