Time 4 Stamping

Tutorial: Peony Window

The Prized Peony stamp set has lovely images, and the one I love the most is the large flower with the flower bud. I remember as a kid my mom had beautiful peonies in our backyard, and although I have a few in my yard, they pale in comparison to the ones she had. Peonies come in several different colors and I chose to use Magenta Madness ink, which closely matches some of the pink varieties. I hope you like this card!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Magenta Madness – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
First Layer: Crumb Cake – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Magenta Madness – 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″, cut in half both ways at 1 5/8″ = four 1 5/8″squares
Stamped Peony Layer: Very Vanilla – 3″ x 3″
Greeting Layer: Magenta Madness – 4″ x 3/4′
Greeting: Very Vanilla – 3 1/2″ x 5/8″
Inside Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″

Assembly:

Emboss one piece of the Crumb Cake cardstock with the Brick and Mortar embossing folder, then adhere it to the card base with Stampin’ Seal.

If you haven’t done so yet, cut the 3 1/4″ square piece of Magenta Madness cardstock in half both ways so that you have four squares measuring 1 5/8″. Use the corner rounder side of the Detailed Trio punch to crop opposite corners of each square. Refer to photo.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the large flower from the Prized Peony stamp set onto the 3″ square piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Use Magenta Madness ink to color the flower and bud with a water painter. I find the easiest way to do this is to put some on a tile and pick it up with the water painter. In the same way, color the stem and leaves with Mossy Meadow ink. Use a sponge to lightly apply some Crumb Cake ink to the Very Vanilla background.

When the ink has dried, cut the stamped peony in half both ways so that each square measures 1 1/2″. Crop opposite corners of each square with the corner rounder side of the Detailed Trio punch. Be careful that you are cropping the correct corners!

Adhere the stamped peony squares to the Magenta Madness squares with Seal, making sure to match the rounded corners of each piece.

Attach the squares to the card front with dimensionals, making sure they are in the correct order. Refer to card photo.

Stamp the greeting from the Fancy Phrases stamp set onto the strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using Magenta Madness ink. Flag the ends of the stamped greeting with your paper snips, then adhere it to the strip of Magenta Madness cardstock. Flag the ends of the Magenta Madness strip to match the greeting. Use dimensionals to attach the greeting to the card front.

Inside:

Adhere the remaining piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to the inside of the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Fancy Phrases stamp set to the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with Magenta Madness ink. Use Stazon ink to stamp the smaller flower from the Prized Peony stamp set onto the lower left corner of this piece. Color as you did before using a water painter with Magenta Madness and Mossy Meadow inks. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

Use Stazon ink to stamp the small flower to the lower left corner of the envelope. Color it like you did for the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoy trying this idea for your cards! It works very well for any larger stamped image and creates a very unique design.

FB Live Recap: Double Peony

The Prized Peony Stamp set and coordinating dies make absolutely beautiful peonies! I must admit that when I first got my set, I looked at them and thought they looked way too complicated to use. Honestly, I put the set aside for a few weeks looking at them every now and then but thought to myself, I just don’t want to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.

Well, last Friday I pulled out the set again and gave it a go. Oh. My. Goodness.

They are so simple to use and it takes only minutes to make these gorgeous flowers! I know I will be getting a lot of use out of this set.

I wanted to do a video to show you just how easy it is to use this die set. I thought I’d make it quick and just make a simple flower, but when I started playing with this set, I wanted to show you how beautiful the flowers look on a card.

In case you missed the videos, you can see the replay here!

Here are the dimensions for the cardstock used to create this card as well as the supply list. I really hope you give it a try. I know you will be thrilled with the results!

Tutorial: Vintage Tasteful Touches

The Tasteful Touches stamp set has some really pretty images which I have used several times to make cards. The flowers look lovely in just about any color you choose. For this card, I thought I would try using the images to make a more ‘vintage’ looking card, and with these colors, I think it hits the mark!

Cut Cardstock:

Card Base: Crumb Cake – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
First Layer: Rococo Rose – 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″, cut two
Second Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/4″ x 4″, cut two
Stamped Layer: Very Vanilla – 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″
Flowers: Very Vanilla – 5″ x 2″
Greeting: Very Vanilla – 3 1/4″ x 1 1/2″
Greeting Layer: Gold Foil – 3 1/2″ x 2″

Assembly:

Adhere one piece of Rococo Rose cardstock to the card base, then adhere a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock to that.

For the stamped 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ Very Vanilla layer, use Crumb Cake ink to stamp the leaf spray from the Tasteful Touches stamp set towards the upper left and lower right portions of the cardstock. Use Rococo Rose ink to stamp the feather image several times going off the cardstock in some areas. If you want a lighter color of the feather, stamp off on a piece of scrap paper once before stamping onto the cardstock. Using Sahara Sand ink, stamp the background image several times onto the cardstock; you may be stamping over the previous images in some spots. Refer to photo for the stamped images.

Use the Tasteful Textile embossing folder to emboss the stamped piece, then adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

Crop the gold foil piece with the rectangular ornate frame from the Ornate Frames dies. Using Crumb Cake ink, stamp the greeting from the Tasteful Touches stamp set onto the 3 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, then crop with the die that corresponds with the ornate rectangle.

Attach the greeting to the gold frame with dimensionals, then attach to the card front with dimensionals.

Use Versamark ink to stamp two flower images onto the 5″ x 2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. Sprinkle with gold embossing powder and set with heat tool. Color the flowers with the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends marker.

Fussy cut the flowers. Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the flowers to the card front, sliding them slightly underneath the greeting. Refer to photo for placement.

Add a few Gilded Gems to the card front for added interest.

Inside:

Adhere the remaining Rococo Rose piece of cardstock to the inside of the card. Use Crumb Cake ink to stamp the leaf spray onto the remaining piece of Very Vanilla cardstock in the upper left corner and lower right corner. Stamp the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the middle of the cardstock. Adhere the completed piece to the inside of the card.

For the envelope, stamp a portion of the leaf spray onto the lower left corner with Crumb Cake ink.

I hope you like this card and that it showed you how versatile this stamp set is. As I was making this, I also thought it would look really different if you use silver embossing powder and Seaside Spray ink for the feathers and the coordinating cardstock. I may have to try it!

Using the dots image from the Forever Fern stamp set, stamp some background dots around the flowers with Misty Moonlight ink, stamping off once on a piece of scrap paper before stamping onto your cardstock.

Color the flowers with Stampin’ Blends using Mango Melody for the flowers, Soft Suede for the flower centers, and Old Olive for the leaves. Crop the flower on the scrap piece of cardstock with the corresponding die from the Sunflowers dies.

Use Seal to adhere the larger piece of the Designer Paper to the top of the stamped piece, then adhere onto one of the pieces of Misty Moonlight cardstock. Tie a piece of Misty Moonlight ribbon around the layers covering the seam; tie a simple knot and trim the ends. Adhere the layered piece onto the card base.

Using Memento ink, stamp the small sunflower onto the lower left side of this piece, going off the cardstock slightly. Color the flower with Stampin’ Blends as you did for the card front. Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the sentiment of your choice, I used the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.

Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the greeting. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere this piece to one of the pieces of Seaside Spray cardstock. Wrap a piece of the Seaside Metallic ribbon around the top of the leaf stems and adhere on the back side.
