Elegance Made Easy with Good Morning Magnolia Bundle

This is going to be one of those bundles that I will rarely put away. You can create clean & simple, easy elegance or over the top with this bundle. Click HERE if you haven't seen my first blog post  using this bundle. I decided I wanted to use the new Magnolia Lane Memories & More Large Specialty Cards & Envelopes and the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper for this card and coordinating envelope.   

I stamped the flower with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then used a stamp from the Artisan Textures set to stamp the inside of the flower with Stampin' Up! Petal Pink Classic Ink. (then used the coordinating die to trim it out) I embossed the sentiment with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Basic Black cardstock with a sentiment from the stamp set and used Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere it to the card front with a tiny bit of ordinary cheese cloth under it for added interest. I used a 3 x 4 inch piece of DSP for the background. This was a very simple card to create!

New Annual Catalog Starts Today! (plus a PRETTY card!)

Yes...I know I have been away for a long time. I've had lots going on, but hoping to get back to some regular blogging. I NEED to, because I have so many new toys from the new catalog to show you! Like this sample using the new Good Morning Magnolia stamp set from the Magnolia Lane Suite. 

Isn't the flower to die for? If it looks 3-D, it's because it is! I stamped 2 of them and fussy cut and layered one of them on top of the other one using glue and Stampin' Dimensionals to give it depth. 

I used watercolor paper for the main background and the flowers. I used the smooshing technique to achieve the watery looking background and the speckles are an image from the Artisan Textures stamp set. 

The image below shows more of the items available from this suite, which has coordinating dies, embellishments, etc. 

Click image below or the catalog image on the right of my blog to take you to a PDF copy of the new catalog. ***the new catalog was supposed to go live later in the day, but it looks as if it is available to order from right now!***

Petal Palette PLUS Artful Background Technique

Hey stampers...I am participating in the Global Design Project Challenge this week. This week, the challenge is to CASE a beautiful card by one of their United States team members  named Shawn de Oliveira. All products Stampin' UP!

CASE = Copy And Selectively Edit

Remember that when you CASE a project you can take what you like from the design and make it your own. It might be the stamp set - the colors, the layout, the theme, the images - whatever you like that has inspired you to make a card of your own.

Here is the inspiration for this project:

For my project, I wanted to use some sort of pink & green, so I chose Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green. I also used elements from the same Petal Palette stamp set and coordinating dies Shawn used. 

Look how cool the background is? I simply took pieces of Saran Wrap and tapped them on to the various ink pads (one color at a time) and laid it across the card front. The picture below is of a couple of the pieces I had used. Very simple and I am going to expand on this technique at a later date. 

After I applied the inks with the Saran Wrap, I inked up the dot pattern stamp from the set and randomly  stamped it with Granny Apple Green. 

The branch die cut and the sentiment shape are included in the coordinating dies. 

You can make this too!
