The Beauty of Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper

Have you seen the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper on page 11 in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog?  It is a gorgeous paper!  The beauty of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper is the elegant design.  In my opinion, the catalog photos do not do justice for the paper!  A vellum print from the designer paper creates the primary background layer on the card below.   The Floral Romance Suite includes the Wonderful Romance bundle with the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set and Wonderful Framelits Dies.  The sentiment and coordinating leaf embellishments are easily stamped and cut using the Wonderful Romance bundle.   The beauty of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is that you do not need to add a lot of embellishment…let the paper be the feature!

Valentine Card featuring Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet

Valentine’s Day is approaching so this elegant Valentine card featuring Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet makes a lovely card for giving to a special person.  I am loving the products in the Sale-a-Bration brochure and the Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets are no exception.  Remember, you can receive them for FREE with a $50 order.  Once I saw the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets, I knew including them in the card design was a necessity.   The Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder adds elegance to the Lovely Lipstick Foil.  And WOW – what a dramatic change!  You will see more projects from me using this embossing folder!  Elements from both the Forever Lovely and Meant to Be Bundles complete the card.  Details for creating the card are below the photo of the card.

Valentine's Day Card Featuring Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets, Forever Lovely And Meant to Be Stamp Sets

Card Directions:

  1. Start with Lovely Lipstick cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″.  Score at 4-1/4″ and fold on score line to create card.
  2. Cut a piece of Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″.  Use Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) to add texture to the Lovely Lipstick Foil piece. 
  3. Use Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the large flower from the Forever Lovely Stamp Set onto a 2″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Along the edge of this same cardstock, stamp two leaves from the stamp set using Soft Sea Foam Classic Stampin’ Pad.  Cut the flower and leaves using the coordinating dies from the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies.
  4. On a scrap of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, cut one of the open leaf dies.   Cut the small flowers with the die from a scrap of Lovely Lipstick cardstock.
  5. Use the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies to cut a valentine heart from a piece of 2-3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Whisper White cardstock.
  6. Stamp the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment inside the heart using Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin’ Pad.  The sentiment is in the Meant to Be stamp set. 

Card Assembly:

  1. Attach the embossed Lovely Lipstick to the card base using snail adhesive.
  2. Refer to photo on layering placement of flowers and leaves. Attach the large flower with a mini-dimensional and use mini-glue dots for other flowers and leaves.  
  3. Center heart onto the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet and attach using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  4. Embellish small flower centers using small Pearl Basic Jewels.
  5. Tie a small bow using Whisper White Baker’s Twine and adhere to heart above sentiment.

Even if you do not have the foil sheets, this card can easily be replicated using cardstock.  The must have item is the Lace Dynamic TIEF which will add the elegance.  Project Materials are listed at the bottom of this post.  You can order directly by clicking on the item in the list.

Bloom All Year

As with many of our catalogs, the Occasions catalog has it’s share of project kits from Stampin’ Up!.  The Made to Bloom Kit makes it possible for you to bloom all year long.  In the kit, you will also receive pre-printed elements which allows you to add beautiful color to your cards.  The kit also contains a stamp set, accents, stamp pad, stamp block, adhesive backed pearls, card bases and envelopes.  Once you complete all the cards, you can store them in the acetate box included or, give them away as a gift.  

I love being able to have a box of cards for any occasion.  Stampin’ Up! adds new project kits to every catalog each year.  When you are new to stamping or have limited time to craft, these kits are a life saver.  Being able to have all the products in one box saves time and helps you improve your crafting skills.
