Case'ing the Stampin'Up! Catalog #1 - Flower Patch Thank You Card

Hello everyone!  I hope that you are all getting back to your normal routines now that school is back in session.  I know in our house it has taken a couple of weeks to figure things out, but I am hopeful to keep things on track.

Today I have something a little different and my VERY FIRST VIDEO tutorial.  The annual catalog has so much inspiration, but I haven't built up the sort of inventory to create every project displayed, so I thought it might be fun to try and re-create some of the projects with supplies I do have.  This is the card I created using the flower patch stamp set and will be the first in a series of videos/cards showing how you can use the catalogs for inspiration in your own projects.

This is the picture from the catalog used as my inspiration.  This project used the Bordering Blooms Stamp Set on page 162 of the Annual Catalog.


You can click on the link below to watch my very first Start to Finish video tutorial.


Listed below are the dimensions and supplies used to create this card.  Please click on the links provide to order any supplies you may need.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my video.  This will be an ongoing series and I hope you will come back to check out them out.

Measurements:
Pool Party CS - 4 1/4 x 11 (score at 5 1/2 for Standard A2 Card)
Whisper White CS - 2 pieces cut at 4 x 5 1/4

Thanks for stopping by and until next time...

Another Flower Patch Birthday Card

Ok, I think I am obsessed with this stamp set so much so, I actually had a dream last night about ways I could use it on things other than cards.  So unfortunately, or fortunately if you love this set as much as me, there will be additional posts using this set and matching framelits, but I will try to space them out a bit.  I have decided to enter this card in the Stampin'UP! Only card challenge.  The challenge is to show off any of your "new toys" and to use ONLY STAMPIN'UP! product of course.  You can check out my submission as well as others by clicking on this link SUO Challenge 102.  Now onto the details:


I stared with a standard A2 sized Card from Whisper White.  On another piece of whisper white, I stamped the flowers in So Saffron and Pink Pirouette and then the centers with Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride and leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzaz.  Flowers were then die cut with coordinating frame lits and the leaves were fussy cut.  Using the Labels collections framelits, I die cut the 3rd largest label from Blushing Bride cardstock and layered it with a whisper white Blossom Punch.  I inked up all the edges with Blushing bride to help make the images pop on the card a little.  For assembly, I took a 2'' piece of Lullaby DSP, then the label and blossom punch secured with snail and added a strip of crumbcake seam binding before attaching to the card base.  Once attached, I started adding my die cut flowers and leaves using glue dots and dimensionals.  I added a bow, some basic pearls and a bitty butterfly and viola!  Although you can't see it, I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting on the inside using the Peace, Love and Cupcakes stamp set.

All the supplies used are listed below.  Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.

Flower Patch Birthday Card

Happy Bloomin Wednesday!

Today's card features probably one of my most favorite stamp sets, Flower Patch by Stampin' Up!  The Flower Patch flowers cut out using the matching flower fair framelits take center stage in this Blooming Birthday Card.  I know this has been done already as I have seen many examples on Pintrest, but I used the Hardwood background stamp to create slats on a fence and wanted the flowers to be peeking through like it would through a fence.  When I was growing up, we had a fence like this and the neighbor's roses always grew through the sides of the open slats in the fence. It was always so pretty.

Flower Patch by Stampin' Up!

Details:

Stamped the hardwood background onto a piece of Soft Suede cardstock and then clear embossed it and cut into strips for the fence. On Whisper White cardstock I stamped the images from the Flower Patch stamp set then cut out with coordinating framelits.  On another piece of Whisper White cut at 4 1/4 x 5 1/4, I sponged Pistachio pudding on to the bottom 3/4th of the card and then sponged Soft Sky onto the top.  I stamped the birthday greeting at the top slightly to the left in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then attached the various pieces using Snail and dimensionals.  For a finishing touch, I punched out a bitty butterfly from Blackberry bliss cardstock and added several rhinestones for a little sparkle.  The whole piece was then put onto a Blackberry Bliss Card base cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 using dimensionals.  All the supplies used are linked below.

Until next time...have a great day!
