Embossed Vellum Flower Card with Products from the Perennial Essence Suite

Hello everyone! I’m back (with much less time between posts this time!) with two fun and colorful versions of this card layout. It took me a long time to get comfortable designing my own cards, but the accomplishment and happiness I feel after I do create my own card is definitely worth the effort! Scroll down to the bottom of this post (after all the pictures) and you’ll find my YouTube video for these cards.

I really love both versions of this card. The card with the yellow (So Saffron) flower is so bright and cheery and the card with the pink (Petal Pink) flower on the right is so elegant and soothing. Besides the difference in color scheme there is also a slight variation in the dimensions. This is due to a cutting error at first, but I actually like the wider border on the card with the pink flower.

**Note**: I don’t think it’s visible in the pictures, but I popped up the cardstock layers (So Saffron on the left, Whisper White on the Left) with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. The video shows this much more clearly.

   

Although the Floral Essence Stamp Set is the core of this suite, I really feel the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper is the star of the Perennial Essence Suite. You can check out all the amazing designs at this link.

   

I wanted to make sure there was a picture that really showed the shine of the gold embossing powder on this version. I love the simple stamping on the inside of the card. Just a little something to pretty it up. 🙂 The stamp pads I used on this card were Versamark (for the embossing, So Saffron (flowers), Soft Suede (flower centers and sentiment).

     

Dimensions (Card with Soft Suede Base)

• Base = 8 1/2 x 5 1/2″ (Scored on the long side at 4 1/4″)
• So Saffron cardstock layer = 4 x 5 1/4″
• DSP Layer = 3 7/8 x 5 1/8″
• Sentiment Banner = 3 x 3/4″ (Trim left end as needed)
• Inside cardstock layer = 4 x 5 1/4″

   

I love how the silver embossing powder really softened the look of this version. It goes so well with the blues and purples in the DSP. The stamp pads I used on this card were Versamark (for embossing), Petal Pink (flowers) and Mossy Meadow (flower centers and sentiment).

          

Dimensions (Card with Mossy Meadow Base)

• Base = 8 1/2 x 5 1/2″ (Scored on the long side at 4 1/4″)
• Whisper White cardstock layer = 3 7/8 x 5 1/8″
• DSP Layer = 3 3/4 x 5″
• Sentiment Banner = 3 x 3/4″ (Trim left end as needed- this sentiment is shorter than above so you could probably do 2 1/2 x 3/4″)
• Inside cardstock layer = 3 3/4 x 5″

I really hope you have been inspired by this card. There are so many possibilities with this suite! I’d love to hear what you think of my cards. Which one is your favorite? Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. I truly appreciate your feedback. Just be kind please! 🙂

Multi-Panel Pullout Card with Woven Threads & Mosaic Mood DSP

Hello everyone! I’m jumping back into blogging after quite a break.  I’m going to try to blog whenever the Brewers have day games and it lines up with my daughters’ naps. 🙂

I have lots of new ideas to share with you since the recent release of the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  Check out these beautiful cards featuring the brand new Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP. I can’t get enough of this card design. I just saw it a few weeks ago on fellow SU! demo, LeeAnn Greff’s, blog.  Is it new to you as well? Leave me a comment on this post and let me know. I’m curious which of these 4 designs is your favorite as well.

You can find my YouTube video for this card at the end of this post.

   

The Woven Threads Designer Series Paper features all 5 of the new In Colors: Pretty Peacock, Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray, Purple Posy, and Rococo Rose.  These In Colors will only be around for the next two years so you’ll want to snatch them up now to have the most time to create with them. I love that this catalog has a suite of products dedicated just to the new 2019-2021 In Colors. The Woven Threads DSP is part of that suite. Click here to check out that In Color Suite. 

   

It doesn’t show up very well in the pictures but several of the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP designs have clear embossing. The shine is so pretty! Like all of the 12 x 12 DSP packs, the Mosaic Mood Specialty pack comes with 12 sheets of paper, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. One of each side has the shiny, clear embossing over the designs.

   

Measurements

-Back panel & 3rd from back layer= 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ & 3 1/4″ X 4 1/2″ (also scrap for die cutting biggest scalloped square)

*Note: All cards with the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP have the inside sentiment stamped in Early Espresso Ink. The card with the So Saffron layer has Garden Green Ink for the front sentiment.  The card with the Mint Macaron layer has Cajun Craze for the front sentiment. The card with the Calypso Coral layer has Mint Macaron for the front sentiment.

   

A few weeks ago I made a video showing how to make this card. I would be honored if you would “like” this video and leave me a comment letting me know what you think of it. I also invite you to subscribe to my channel to be notified of future videos. I am just starting out with making card videos and am having a lot of fun. Thanks for checking that out!
