Cottage Rose Sympathy

The Cottage Rose bundle is one of the three that will be featured in the World Card Making Day event and I have used that bundle on this card.

In the background I used Textured Chic specialty paper and then layered the die cuts over the top. The sentiment layer was created by making a die cut using the All That dies and cutting off the top and bottom with the Stampin' Trimmer to make it smaller.

Supplies:

Cottage Rose

Memento Black, Basic Gray ink

Stampin' Blends

Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Basic Black, Mossy Meadow card stock

Textured Chic specialty paper

All that Dies

The Cottage Rose Bundle includes the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and the Cottage Flowers Dies. Also available in French.

Create enchanting, timeless floral designs with the Cottage Rose Bundle. Bunch together long-stemmed floral dies and layer a personalized sentiment on top. Or stamp large blossoms on the die cuts to add dimension to your card. Create a reverse silhouette by layering the largest die over a printed or colored background. Whether you’re celebrating or sending best wishes, this stamp and die bundle has what you need to make each card botanically breathtaking.

COTTAGE ROSE CLING STAMP SET
Let your positivity, joy, and celebration blossom with the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. This classically beautiful set features six versatile, all-occasion sentiments and four detailed floral designs. With images of varying lengths and sizes, this stamp set is perfect for cards, notes, and tags. Go for a monochromatic black-and-white style or use Stampin' Blends or Watercolor Pencils to create lush depths of color. Stamp several leaves and blossoms together for a more robust design, or stamp just once for something simple yet elegant. Whatever you create is going to be fab!
* 10 cling stamps
* Suggested clear blocks (sold separately): c, e

COTTAGE FLOWERS DIES
Transform your paper craft projects with the Cottage Flowers Dies. Create beautiful silhouettes and accent pieces with the variety of flowers, stems, and leaves. From buds to blossoms, the variety of shapes and sizes make these dies versatile and timeless. Weave elegant, fresh designs into every layer with ease!
* 8 dies
* Largest die: 3" x 4-3/4" (7.6 x 12.1 cm)
* Use with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
* Compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Our coordinated craft bundles save you time and money! Buy the bundle and save 10% off the price of buying the stamp and tool separately. Plus, bundles will help you quickly cut out stamped images for a single project or create multiples of the same project with ease.

Take the texture of your projects to the next level with the Texture Chic 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper. Each paper in this assortment is a masterpiece of texture. The pretty, elegant patterns feature gold foil on one side and a distressed, aged look that adds so much interest to your creation. Choose a pattern and make it the background of a card or tag. You’ll love what you can do with this paper!

September Stamp Club Projects

For September, I put together our group projects since we were not able to meet due to harvest. There are lots of different products used on these items...

For the layout, we used Perfectly Penciled designed series paper along with some Pretty Prints designer series paper and This is the Day Memories and More pieces.

The first card uses Brushstroke designer series paper and the Pretty Medallion stamp set.

On the last card, we used the Candy Cane dies and cut a piece of Pear Pizzazz and another of Brushed Metallic card stock, die cutting them with the largest die in the collection and layering them on top of some 2022-2024 In color Glimmer paper. The sentiment is layered using the Double Oval Punch and the Lasting Label punch.
