You Are Loved

Another of the online exclusive products that was just released is a stamp set called Magnolia Mood. There is also a matching die set that goes with this, but I did not use it for this card.

In the background I have a piece of Azure Afternoon card stock that is embossed with a retired folder and then I added a piece of Poetic Expressions designer series paper to add more color.

Next is the magnolia image stamped with Crumb Cake ink on the same color or card stock and finally the sentiment which is also stamped with Crumb Cake ink.

Supplies:

Magnolia Mood

Crumb Cake ink

Crumb Bake, Azure Afternoon card stock

Argyle folder

Simple Zinnia

I think Zinnias are one of my favorite flowers and this new online exclusive suite from Stampin' Up! is also one of my favorites of the new items that were just released. 

I used this simple card for a couple of my classes recently using the stamp set and a small piece of the designer series paper in this suite. 

My background is Crumb Cake card stock and the image is stamped with the same color of ink. Over the top of that is a piece of the designer series paper and a die cut made with the Deckled Rectangles dies. The sentiment is also stamped with Crumb Cake ink.

You could add more color to the card by adding some of the coordinating Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins as well.

Supplies:

Happiest of Birthdays

I had some fun playing around with the Gone Fishing dies and the Ready to Ride designer series paper. In addition, I used the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder on some Silver Foil sheets to use behind the windows of the die cut.

The other pieces behind the windows of the die cuts are from the retired Ready to Ride designer series paper collection. The sentiment is from Charming Sentiments and is stamped on a die cut made with the Stylish Shapes dies.

Supplies:

For You

I put together a few of these simple but elegant cards using the Layering Leaves stamp set.

In the background I used a piece of Gold Glimmer paper and then popped up a piece of Very Vanilla card stock with the leaf images on it. The leaves are stamped with Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzazz ink and the sentiment is stamped with Pebbled Path ink.

Supplies:

Layering Leaves

Pebbled Path, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz ink

For all your paper crafting occasions, you can create naturescapes with a simple message to show how much you care. Winter or spring, the Two-Step stamped leaves allow you to add unique texture by layering the images. The sentiments also look great when cut with punches or dies. This set is refreshing, just like the great outdoors. Get yours today! Also available in French.

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.
