Happy Monday! Today I am sharing an Ornate Style floral bouquet featuring the large floral spray from the Ornate Style Cling Stamp Set. This stamp set is one of the products in the Ornate Garden Suite Early Release. The floral image begs to be colored with markers or using watercolor techniques. For today’s card, Stampin’ Blends Markers are used.
Card Details:
- Create card base using Rococo Rose (5-1/2″ x 11″, score at 4-1/4″ and fold).

- Stamp the sentiment, Thinking of You, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a 1/2″ x 4″ strip of Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set. Next, layer the sentiment piece onto a 4″ x 3/4″ strip of Rococo Rose cardstock. Set aside to add to card after adding the floral piece.
- Using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, stamp the large floral onto a 4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.

- Color the flowers and leaves using the following Stampin’ Blends Markers: Rococo Rose Light & Dark, Daffodil Delight Light, Balmy Blue Light & Dark, Old Olive Light & Dark

Coloring with the Stampin’ Blends Markers takes me back to being a child and coloring with crayons. There’s something therapeutic about coloring!

Jul 19, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Cards, Floral, Technique, To A Wild Rose, Uncategorized |
A Beautiful Wild Rose card is one of the projects from this month’s card classes. It features using the To A Wild Rose photopolymer stamp set. The Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has lots of beautiful floral sets but the To A Wild Rose is definitely one of my favorites. The stamp set also has coordinating Wild Rose Dies and is offered with a 10% discount in the To A Wild Rose Bundle. Two-step stamping can be used with the stamps so that depth of colors can be added to the images. However, the outline stamp is beautiful to use by itself. For this card, the wild roses are stamped using the two-step stamping method and the masking technique was also utilized. Additional details are below the card photos.
Card Details:
Materials:
- To A Wild Rose Photopolymer Stamp Set
- Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Highland Heather, Whisper White, Garden Green & Vellum
- Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin’ Pad, Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad, Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Dies: Wild Rose Dies, Stitched Nested Labels
- 5/8″ Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon
- Noble Peacock Rhinestones
- Adhesives: Snail, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals
Directions:
- Create the card base from a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock (score at 5-1/2″ & fold). Add a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Highland Heather cardstock.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock (3-3/4″ x 5″) to use for stamping the wild roses.
- Before stamping the roses onto the Whisper White cardstock, create a wild rose “mask” to use for covering the roses. To create the mask, stamp the rose outline stamp onto a 3″ x 3″ post-it note. Be sure to stamp near the adhesive strip. Fussy cut the rose. Set aside to use for covering the roses before stamping the leaves to the card. TIP: make multiple masks to speed the stamping process. Also, save the mask inside of the stamp case and you’ll have it for future use.
- Using the Wild Rose outline stamp, randomly stamp three of the rose outlines onto the Whisper White cardstock using the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Refer to card photo for placement. For the full rose stamp, use Highland Heather ink pad to color the rose base. For the final rose stamp, use the Rich Razzleberry ink pad. Attach to card base using Snail adhesive.
- Place the “masks” over the stamped roses. Stamp the leaves using Garden Green ink pad. The leaves outline stamp and only one of the leaves layer stamp are used.
- With the Wild Rose Dies, cut 2 open leaves from a scrap of Garden Green cardstock and 3 of the small flowers from the Vellum cardstock. Add them to the card with mini glue dots. TIP : Prepare the sentiment layer (step 7) and use as a guide for placement of the embellishment pieces.
- Stamp the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut using the small Stitched Nested Labels Die. With a larger Stitched Nested Labels Die, cut a scrap of the Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Layer the two pieces using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add to the card using Snail Adhesive.
- Complete the card by adding a Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon Bow and a Noble Peacock Rhinestone as seen in card photo.

Jun 28, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Cards, Daisy Lane, Floral, Technique, Uncategorized |
Last week, one of my blog posts featured a make ‘n take card using the Daisy Lane stamp set. Today, the project is a Daisy Lane “stepped up” card. As you see, I have added some pizzazz to the basic card design. It’s easy to take a simple card and make it a “stepped up” card with just a few extra embellishments. You can see the original simple stamping card design here.
Card details:
The colors and stamping are the same as in the Simple Stamping with Daisy Lane card details. So, refer to the link to review the general instructions and project materials.
- To create the additional center on the daisy, punch a 1″ circle of Melon Mambo cardstock for each daisy. With paper snips, cut small snips toward the center of the circle punch, leaving a circle in the middle approximately 1/4″ diameter. Use eraser end of a pencil or the end of the Take Your Pick, press onto the circle center so that the circle cups and the snips separate. With mini glue dots, attach to the daisy center and add the Perennial Essence Floral Centers to each.
- Cut a piece of 3-3/4″ piece of Whisper White Flax Ribbon. Snip between threads on each end and slightly fray. Attach to card using Tear & Tape adhesive. Refer to photo for approximate placement.
- To the sentiment label, add pearl white sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins package. Place one on each side of the label. In the center of each, add a Basic Rhinestone Jewel.
- For the bow, pull threads from a piece of the flax ribbon. Use two of the threads to tie into a bow.
See how easy it is to “step up” a card design by adding a few embellishments?
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
