Have you seen the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper on pages 74 & 167 in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog? It is absolutely gorgeous! The lightweight paper features photographic images of real pressed flowers on one side of the paper. So when designing this card, I decided to use the photo of the Pressed Petals Bouquet on one of the papers. By using the Heirloom Frames Dies, a large oval helps to highlight the bouquet. As an extra touch, the coordinating Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape creates a flower to embellish the card. Scroll below for more card details.
Card Base Details:
Create the card base using Crumb Cake cardstock (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, score and fold at 4-1/4″), Use the Oval Heirloom Frames Die from the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3-D Embossing Folders to cut a large oval from a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Merry Merlot cardstock. Cut the Pressed Petals Bouquet image from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper. Attach the Merry Merlot frame to the photo of the Pressed Petals Bouquet using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. TIP: Before adhering, check DSP placement. If the DSP extends past frame, trim before adhering the frame. Once the liquid adhesive has dried, add the framed Pressed Petals Bouquet layer to the card front using adhesive.
Finishing Touches:
The “Hello There” greeting is from the Here’s A Card stamp set. Create a Crumb Cake cardstock tag using the Banner Triple Punch and stamp the sentiment using Merry Merlot Classic Stampin’ Pad. On the left side of the tag, use five of the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape petals to create a flower. TIP: After placing the petals, use the Embossing Buddy to dust the back of the flower petals to prevent them from sticking to the card. Stamp two sets of leaves (from the Floral Essence Stamp Set) using Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad onto Vellum cardstock. Use the heat tool to dry the ink. Once the ink is completely dry, use the leaf punch to cut the leaves. Use mini glue dots to tuck the leaves behind the flower. Attach the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, complete by adding a Perennial Essence Floral Center to the flower.

At last month’s Luv 2 Stamp meeting, one of the make ‘n take projects included a Garden Lane Lotion Holder. Fellow team member, Cindee Wilkinson, created the team project and selected the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper for the project. The holder is wonderful! A 1-oz. tube of the Bath & Body Works hand lotion fits perfectly inside of the box. However, it is of ample size to hold other small gifts or treats. If you participate in craft sales, this is a must project for you to add to your list! It takes time to create and you can decorate it with a variety of tags.
Materials:
Garden Lane Designer Series Paper (4-1/2″ x 6″)
Delightful Tag Topper Punch
Whisper White Cardstock (scrap for tag and for 1″ circle )
Stitched Nested Labels Dies
Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad
Pressed Petals Washi Tape
Embossing Buddy
3/4″ circle punch
Perennial Essence Floral Center
Mossy Meadow cardstock (scraps for leaves)
Magnolia Memories Dies (for leaves dies) or use the Leaf Punch
Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set
Tags and More Accessory Kit (Copper Clip)
Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon
Adhesives: Tear & Tape, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals
You’ll find the directions for assembling the Garden Lane Lotion Holder on Cindee’s blog, Just Sponge It. Just click on the link to be taken to the lotion holder instructions.
To create the tag:
Stamp the desired sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set using Garden Green Classic Stamp Pad onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock (approximately 2″ x 2-1/4″). Cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Cut 2 leaves from the Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Magnolia Memory Dies. Or, you may cut leaves using the leaf punch. From a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, punch a 1″ circle. Use the circle as a base for layering the Pressed Petals Washi Tape to create a flower.
TIP: After placing the first layer of 4 petals on the circle, dust the back of the exposed petals with the Embossing Buddy to remove the stickiness. Add next layer, and gently lift petals to apply dust from Embossing Buddy. The petals will stay curled upwards and not stick to the bottom layer.
Complete the flower by adding a Perennial Essence Floral Center. Add the two cut leaves to the back to the flower with mini glue dots and attach to the sentiment label using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Also use the dimensionals to attach the label to the lotion holder. Close the lotion holder using the Copper Clip. Tie a bow around the clip using the 1/4″ Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon.

Have you looked closely at the beautiful Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (pages 118-120 & 167) in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog? It is a designer paper that is much more beautiful when you actually see and feel it. I know when I first saw the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper in the catalog, I was not wowed. That certainly changed when I was able to see and feel the paper. The paper is a heavy weight paper that includes shiny, slightly embossed features on some of the pages. This makes the beautiful images “pop”. With the shiny, embossed features, the images such as the hummingbirds or flowers, are easy to fussy cut. Additionally, the specialty paper includes great designs to use as background layers. For the card below, the sentiment was chosen from the Love What You Do photopolymer stamp set.
Card Details:
Create the card base using Thick Very Vanilla cardstock (8-1/2″ x 11″, score and fold at 4-1/4″).
The second layer is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Soft Suede cardstock. Before adhering to the card base, texture emboss with the Subtle 3-D Embossing Folder.
The sentiment is stamped and then embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. First, using a 3″x 4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and the Stamparatus, stamp the sentiment with Soft Suede Classic Ink Pad. IMPORTANT: Do not remove paper or stamp from the Stamparatus. Carefully, clean the stamp with Simply Shammy to remove the Soft Suede ink. Next, wipe paper with the Embossing Buddy and then stamp the sentiment again using Versamark Ink. Remove the stamped paper from the Stamparatus and sprinkle over the Versamark with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Use Heat Tool to activate and set the Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Allow to cool, then cut shape with the die from the Wild Roses Die set. NOTE: Offset the sentiment when die cutting so that the sentiment is to the left side (refer to card photo). Attach to card front with Snail Adhesive.
Select flowers and hummingbird from the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP. Fussy cut using Paper Snips. Notice there’s an outline around the figures making it easy to fussy cut. Depending upon the flowers you select, you may wish to cut a few additional leaves to add behind the flowers.
After cutting images, arrange and attach the flowers to the card front using Snail Adhesive.
Add the hummingbird using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
Complete the card by adding Metallic Pearls embellishments.

One of the stamp sets highlighted at the Open House was the Free As A Bird stamp set. If you’re a bird lover, this is the set for you. The sample showcasing the stamp set and the coordinating Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper is a make ‘n take from the April Stampin’ Up! OnStage event. As I enjoy bird watching and have bird pictures throughout my house, naturally I gravitated toward the Free As A Bird stamp set. It was the first set on my order. And of course, the beautiful Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper. The paper is gorgeous with it’s vibrant colors and helps to create a stunning card. So, today I’m sharing with you the sample that I made at the event. Also, below the photo is a short video that Stampin’ Up! prepared showing how to make the card.
