Die Cuts from many sets of Stampin' Up! Dies create a Tranquil Coastal Planter Greeting Card

    

  • Stampin' Up! Splendid Day Suite for tranquil greeting cards
  • Unboxing video of August 2022 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit
  • Upcoming Live Classes - August 25 & August 27, 2022
One more card in my Splendid Day Suite Series today that features this Suite from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.  This card features one of the Soft Sea Foam foil prints from the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.  I used a number of different dies from different sets to create the different layers on my card.   The dies I used included Splendid Stems Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Heron Dies and Chic Dies. Each of these added a different texture or element that created the unique look on this card.  It also show cases how well different Stampin' Up! products work together, which I've mentioned before.    I used a Soft Sea Foam and Basic white them on this card for the die cuts.  I used sentiments from the Heron Habitat Stamp Set that complimented the clean elements on this card.  I used an accent of Gold Foil Sheets and Gold Festive Pearls to finish the card.   The cohesive elements in the many die cuts of coastal plants creates a tranquil, intricate card your loved ones will enjoy receiving.   Order the entire Splendid Day Suite before the end of August and earn a free Sale-A-Bration selection.

This card uses a basecard of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of one of the prints from the Splendid day Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.  I used Rectangle Stitched Dies to create a Basic White Boarder and another piece of the Splendid Day Soft Sea Foam and White Print.

I then used dies from the Splendid Stems, the Chic Dies, and the Heron Dies to create layers of coastal elements in either Basic White Cardstock or Soft Sea Foam.  I used one accent element in Gold Foil Sheets.

I used the sentiment element from the Stylish Shapes to die cut a Soft Sa Foam tag.  I stamped sentiments in Soft Succulent ink from the Heron Habitat Stamp Set onto the top layer of my card.  I finished the card by scattering  Gold Festive Pearls around the face of the card.

  • Stampin' Up! Penned Flowers Dies and Splendid Day Suite
  • Order your Spooky Treats September 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit before 10 September
  • You're going to want to get in on the Spooky Treats JBL speaker GIVEAWAY on social media beginning 5 September 
Here's another card using the Splendid Day Suite from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.  This time I paired it with the Penned Flower Dies backing the Penned Flowers Die with Vellum Cardstock.  This tuned out better than I thought it would.   I'm always impressed with how well Stampin' Up! products work when they are mixed and matched.  I used a Sahara Sand and Basic White Cardstock theme and mixed in a foil print from the Splendid Day 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.  I cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and added the foil Designer Series Paper behind the Sahara Sand Cardstock. I used the Stitched Greenery Die to create a pattern on the Sahara Sand Cardstock.  I die cut a few half circle shapes using the Splendid Stamps Dies, and stamped sentiments from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set.   I love the elegant feel of this foil paper and the clean look of the white elements on this card.  You'll loving working with the entire Splendid Day Suite and your friends and family will enjoy receive cards created with this suite.  Order the entire Splendid Day Suite before the end of August and earn a free Sale-A-Bration selection.
 


Floral greeting card using Splendid Thoughts Bundle from Stampin' Up!




This card uses a basecard of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of Sahara Sand die cut with leaf impressions using the Stitched Greenery Die.  I used the second to the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut a circle cutout and added one of the foils from the Splendid Day 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Papers behind the hole.  



Greeting Card using Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!




I then used the Penned Flowers Dies to create a floral bouquet die cut backed with Vellum Cardstock.  I also included the outline around the die cut as it added to the weight of the overall bouquet.  It looks just as good without the outline border, so if you're casing the card, you can see which way you want to show the floral die cut.    


Floral card using Stampin' Up! Splendid Day Suite and Penned Flowers Dies


I used the Splendid Stems Dies and die cut three half- circle shapes.  One in Sahar Sand.  One in Silver Foil, and one in Basic White.  I used sentiments from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and stamped them with Sahara Sand ink onto the Basic White half circle shape.  I also added a string of Silver Simply Elegant Trim and a couple of White Dots from the Classic Matte Dots package.
