Having fun with Jar of Flowers Stamp set

Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers


One of the largest new Suites in the annual Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 catalog is the Flowers for Every Season Suite on pp. 10-13.  Yes.  It takes 4 pages to show you the complete suite  Today I'm using the Jar of Flowers from this suite.  You'll notice that this set includes two stamps that are reversible.  That means that you can stamp either side of this stamp for different effects.  One is an open jar. and the other is a shorter container.  I love that this stamp set gives you four different flower assortments.  I chose to use the sunflower bouquet for this card.  The simple embossed design on Bumblebee basecard was created using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.        





The basecard for my card Bumblebee Cardstock, one of the new In Colors.  It is dry embossed using the Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder.  Then a layer of one of the Misty Moonlight prints from the 2020-2022 In Color 6 X 6" Designer series Papers.  If you look closely, you'll see that this print. actually includes words from the Stampin' Up! Statement of the Heart, which you'll find at the bottom right of page 2 of the new annual catalog.  The image layer is Whisper White cardstock. 

   



I stamped the sunflower bouquet from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set using Saddle Brown Stazon Ink.  The I colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends.  For the flower centers, I found that Blends were too dark and washed out the dots, so I used the Early Espresso Watercolor Pencil to create the right shade. I then cut around the sunflower bouquet and popped it up on Dimensionals.   
  
Card idea using Jar of Flowers




I stamped the jar in  Misty Moonlight, another new In Color, and shaded the jar using Balmy Blue Blends.  Then I stamped the stems for the flowers in Old Olive ink and colored them with Old Olive Stampin' Blends.   





I added a bow in Misty Moonlight 1/4" 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon.  Then I selected a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies, and stamped a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches Stamp set and stamped it in Misty Moonlight Ink.   You'll love all of the different looks you can create using this fun set. And you'll be proud to sent someone special this lovely handmade card

Magenta Madness and Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards

  • Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack
  • Flowers For every Season Cards & Envelopes
  • Shopping for the July Paper Pumpkin Kit begins today

Stampin' Up! Flowers for Every Season


Here's another card using the new In Colors and the Stampin' Up! Flowers for every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  Today, my focus is on the new In Color Magenta Madness.  I selected this color base card and matching envelope from the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  Then I selected a coordinating print from the Memories & More Card Pack.  The Lovely wishes sentiment is from the sticker die cuts included with the Flowers for every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  The butterflies are from the Butterfly Beauty Dies giving the card a fresh, fun look.        





The basecard for my card is from the Flowers For every Season Memories & More and Pack. The dotted white border is preprinted on the card base.  Then I found this Magenta Madness print among the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  While these cards a meant for Scrapbooking,  they are also perfect to use as elements on cards.   



I cut a black banner to use as the base for the sentiment stickers included in the Memories & More Card Pack.  I loved the gradated color around the sentiments so rather than removing the sticker, I cut around the sentiment sticker to show the lovely coloring.  
  




The two small butterflies are also from the Butterfly Beauty Dies.  One layer is cut from Whisper White; the other layer is cut from Magenta Madness.  They are glued together and popped up on Mini Dimensionals.  I added a 2020-2022 In Color Enamel in Magenta Madness to the side of the sentiment. 





Each of the cards above, uses the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards and the coordinating Cards and Envelopes.  You'll love how quickly you can put together a card when you have these Memories & More Cards and Envelopes on hand.     

If you live in the USA and don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, contact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
