I have a few more cards to share using the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle and NEW “In Colors”. This card was created for my NEW Catalog Open House back in mid May. I absolutely love this color combination of Crisp Cantaloupe and Peaceful Pine, it is so beautiful! These awesome NEW “In Colors” are featured in the “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper.HERE is a previous card using this great Designer Series Paper and the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle.
As I stated above, my color combo for this card is Crisp Cantaloupe, Peaceful Pine and Basic White. This card begins with simple layers and a strip of “Bloom Boutique” Designer Series Paper. Next, I used one of the die cut shapes from the “Phrases & Frames” Bundle. On this card, I did a basic single pass with the die so that the shape would not have too much detail. I ran the smaller scalloped oval shape through the “Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine” twice to give it extra “detail” or depth. For the second pass, I misted the card stock with water and used the NEW “Impressions Plate”.
My sentiment came from the “Scalloped Wishes” stamp set. I used a retired small oval punch so that I could layer the sentiment on to the Crisp Cantaloupe scalloped oval die cut. To complete my card added a Crisp Cantaloupe“3/8″ Border Ribbon” Bow with a “Mini Glue Dot”. The finishing touch was to add two of the NEW 2026-2028 “In Color Dots” in Crisp Cantaloupe. I absolutely love this color combination and the card itself was quick and rather simple.
Still playing with my newest products, “Exciting Times” Bundle & “Blooms Boutique” DSP. I absolutely love the simplicity of this great stamp set and punch bundle. HERE was my previous post using the new “Exciting Times” Bundle.
For my color palette, I chose one of the NEW “In Colors”,Golden Glow, along with Basic White. The “Bloom Boutique” Specialty DSP has beautiful gold foil highlights on one side of each of the six designs. The “B” side of the DSP is more subtle and features the NEW “In Colors”.
I heat embossed the frame from the “Exciting Times” Bundle with “Gold Embossing Powder” for an additional subtle gold shine. Next, I punched out the center with the coordinating punch. I trimmed down the frame shape and used a small hole punch for the inverted rounded corners. The greeting was also heat embossed with “Gold Embossing Powder”. I stamped off the radiating lines with Golden Glow to soften the image a bit. Next, I layered this panel under the frame shape. Layering a piece of the DSP (after punching out the rectangle shape) with Basic White helped the DSP to stand out from the Golden Glow folded card base.
For embellishments, I chose to only add a bow of 1/4″ White Satin Ribbon from my stash with a “Mini Glue Dot”. Honestly, this was enough as I did not want to take away from the beautiful “Bloom Boutique” Specialty DSP. This was a relatively easy card to create and truly looks beautiful IRL!
Recently I had an opportunity to use the “Eyelet Blooms” Die again to create a beautiful wedding card. The “Eyelet Blooms” Die was a recent “Product of the Month” item, I believe for either March or April. I decided to post this card so that customers would be aware that the “Product of the Month” items are only available while quantities last. I am sad to report that this item is no longer available. Super glad I snagged this cute detailed die before it disappeared! HERE was my previous card using this great die!
I chose a more neutral color palette of Crumb Cake, Basic White and Basic Beige for this card. After die cutting the “Eyelet Blooms” Die I layered it on to a piece of Crumb Cake card stock. The flowers and leaves are from the retired stamp set, “Happiness Abounds”. I chose to stamp the leaves on Basic Beige with second generation stamping in Crumb Cake. Adding “Wink of Stella” Glitter Pen to both the flower and leaf images gives them such a beautiful soft shimmer.
I find it challenging to create a card without adding a touch of ribbon or twine. So, I elected to wrap a single strand of “Linen Thread” corner to corner and tied it off in a bow. I did raise the top flower up with “Dimensionals. My greeting stamped in Crumb Cake, came from another retired set, “Peaceful Moments“, one of my all time favorite greeting sets! I absolutely love how beautiful this card looks IRL!
