On page 163 in the 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up! catalog is the stamp set, Floral Statements. It is one of those sets that can easily be overlooked but the two stamp set is great for creating quick, yet elegant cards. I decided to recreate the Thanks card from the catalog with one exception – some bling was added! As I was preparing to color the stamped image, I tested a couple of coloring methods with the aqua painter – one method used the Powder Classic Stampin’ Pad and one used the Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil. Since some water coloring was involved, Shimmery White cardstock was used. So which method do you think was decided upon?

If you guessed the Calypso Coral with the Aqua Painter, you’re correct! It was a pleasant surprise that the color was almost a perfect match with the Powder Pink cardstock layer. Plus using the watercolor color pencil made it quick and easy to color. The leaves were colored using the Old Olive watercolor pencil and an aqua painter. I had fun making the card and will be sharing variations using the stamp set in future posts.

Another of the cards from class using the Eastern Beauty stamp set is this quick and easy card. To create the base, one stamp was used to randomly stamp the repeated design on the upper two-thirds of the thick Vanilla cardstock and a beautiful gold striped piece of Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper was added on the lower card portion. A design strip from the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers was trimmed to fit the card and added the perfect extra touch. Layering the sentiment onto the gold glimmer paper finished the quick, easy and elegant card.

In this month’s card class, the Eastern Palace Suite Bundle was the theme. I admit that when the set became available for early order, it did not thrill me but after seeing some of the projects created, I decided to purchase the bundle and am so glad that I did! The combinations made using the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies and the Eastern Beauty stamps is almost endless. The Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper coordinates beautifully and features the new In-color Lemon-LIme Twist.

Recently a younger cousin passed away unexpectedly and after the initial shock, I wanted to make a special card for my wonderful aunt. As I searched through my stamps to find the perfect sentiment, it became obvious that the Isaiah verse in the Rose Wonder stamp set from Stampin’ Up! was the one. The remainder of the card design utilizes the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies to create a serene but beautiful card. For the flower centers, I had some leftover candy dots but you can easily create your own centers by using a black sharpie to color Basic Pearls.
