Introducing the Stampin' Up! Peony Garden Suite

  • Prized Peony Bundle from Stampin' Up!
  • Peony Gardner Designer Series Paper
  • Final 4 Days of Pick-A-Free-Bundle Starter Kit Promotion

Stampin' Up! Prized Peony Stamp Set


I've been waiting to play with the new Peony Garden Suite from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog, and today I finally had time.  I used the Prized Peony Stamp Set and the Peony Dies from the suite along with the coordinating Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and the Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon to create today's cards.  This was an easy card.  Now I'm looking forward to using the rest of the dies in the Peony Dies to create a layered Peony.  I think I may have gotten a little carried away with all of the dies I used on this card, but I love the effect.           




The basecard for this card is Gray Granite.  Then a layer of Petal Pink die cut using one of the Ornate Layers Dies.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock with one edge scalloped using one of the dies from the Peony Dies.  Then the image layer is a print from the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper die cut using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I love the stitched border created with these Stitched rectangles Dies.     
   



I stamped the Peony in Gray Granite onto Whisper White and colored it using the Light and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends.  Then I die cut it using the coordinating die from Peony Dies.  I popped it up on Dimensional and Mini Dimensionals before adding it to the card front.




I used the larger of the two circles from Tasteful Labels Dies and cut it out of Petal Pink Cardstock.  I used one of the sentiments from the Prized Peony Stamp Set and stamped it in Gray Granite.  Then I created a bow with Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon and added it to the card.  I used Elegant Faceted Gems to accent the sentiment and card front.   





The Peony Garden Suite is a lovey suite, with extensive variety.  Take some time to look at the samples on page 84 of the catalog to see more fun ways to use the Prized Peony Bundle.  You can create stunning cards with just a few stamped images, a bit of ribbon and and a few die cuts, and your friends and family will feel so special when they receive one of your charming, handmade cards.

In Color Card using Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set and Cinnamon Cider

  • Stampin' Up! Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set
  • Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack
  • Flowers For every Season Cards & Envelopes
  • July Paper Pumpkin Kit

Stampin' Up! Flowers for Every Season


I made one last card using the new In Colors from the annual Stampin' Up! catalog, and the Stampin' Up! Flowers for every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  This final card focuses on the new In Color Cinnamon Cider.  I'm using the Cinnamon Cider card base 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.   I used the Butterflies and sentiments from the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set for the Butterflies and for the sentiment.  





The basecard for my card is the Cinnamon Cider card from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More and Pack. The dotted white border is pre-printed on the card base.  Then I selected this Cinnamon Cider daisy print fromamong the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack.  While these cards a meant for Scrapbooking, they are also perfect to use as elements to make fast cards.   



I stamped the butterflies in Cinnamon Cider on Very Vanilla Carstock and fussy cut them and fussy cut the butterflies I selected to use on my card front.  I also stamped the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink on Very Vanilla and used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut the Very Vanilla label as well as the Very Vellum label. 
  




The new In Color basecard include matching envelopes, which give your cards a more polished look.  I added a Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In Color Enamel  to accent the card. 





Each of the five cards above, uses the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards and the coordinating Cards and Envelopes, and highlights one of the new Stampin' Up! In Colors.  You'll love how quickly you can put together a card when you have these Memories & More Cards and  In Color Cards and Envelopes on hand.
